The Brandeis [University] Hoot
Israeli photojournalist discusses rockets in Sderot
by Sarah Gilson
November 14, 2008
Noam Bedein, a young resident of Sderot, Israel and creator of Sderot
Media Center, traveled to Brandeis’ Rapaporte Treasure Hall this past
Tuesday to discuss the violence occurring in his little town near the
Gaza Strip.

In another effort to inform people of the situation and help those who
are forced to endure the violence, the Sderot Media Center (SMC) has
created the Sderot Community Treatment Theater.
SderotMedia.com says that the theater “provides therapeutic community
theater treatment for young people who have been diagnosed with symptoms
of post traumatic stress syndrome, while working with these people to
present their reality to the people of Israel through the creative means
of the theater.”

DR. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON
Legendary David Smith, quite the rabble-rouser when he started San
Francisco’s Haight-Asbury free clinic for drug addicts in 1967, was in
town to speak at the National Institute of Drug Abuse the other day. We
don’t usually feature out-of-town docs, but for this revolutionary,
we’ll make an exception. Especially since he did us the honor of coming
to our DuPont Circle office.
Before each interview we play the home version of What’s My Line, and
have all the guests sign in. After a few guesses (and a consult with
Kitty Carlisle), we determined David is currently medical director at
Center Point, a 6-month therapeutic community for addicts in the
criminal justice system.
