BEACHWOOD Sam Kooperman, a pillar of the Youngstown Area Jewish Community, passed away peacefully in his sleep Tuesday, April 27, 2021, at his home in Beachwood, at the age of 74.
Sam was born Jan. 21, 1947, at Foehrenwald, a displaced persons camp established following the conclusion of World War II in Bavaria, Germany, to his holocaust surviving parents, Jacob and Rosa Kooperman. When Sam was 4, his mother, father and younger sister (Dora) immigrated to the United States. They settled in Sioux City, Iowa to live with Jacob’s brother (Boris) and sister-in-law (Donia) Kuperman, who were the family’s only known surviving relatives.

Israeli energy giant Delek Drilling announced Monday that it had signed a memorandum of understanding to sell its entire stake in Israel’s Tamar offshore gas field to the Abu Dhabi government-owned Mubadala Petroleum, potentially handing the United Arab Emirates a major share in one of the Jewish state’s key strategic and economic assets less than a year after the countries established diplomatic ties.
The deal for the 22 percent stake is worth $1 billion, with an additional $100 million conditioned on certain terms and goals being met, according to a notification about the agreement sent by Delek Drilling to the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and the Israel Securities Authority. The companies said they aim to finalize the deal by May 31.

As Israel’s next election day approaches March 23 parties seeking leadership of the Jewish state and, by extension, of the Jewish world must regard the religious streams in the Diaspora as strategic assets in sustaining Jewish peoplehood.
Knesset representatives ought to partner with the Jewish religious movements in promoting Israel in their respective countries. It’s untrue that only “Orthodox” Jews and Evangelical Christians are pro-Israel; it’s incorrect to assume that the majority of “non-Orthodox Jews” have turned away from the Jewish state.
