You can order Ebihara's book and see some of his other work at his Web site. Tell us a bit about yourself. I'm a third-generation Japanese American or "Sansei" from Cleveland, Ohio, and I moved to Southern California, Los Angeles, in 1995. I admit to easily fitting into the Asian American model minority stereotype... I have a PhD. in electrical engineering, even though, I'm not using it so much right now. My current "day job" is an Information Systems Manager. How long have you been writing poetry? I first started with Japanese haiku poems. I do not have a formal background in English literature or creative writing, but I feel that poetry is something that arises primarily from "doing" -- and using one's experiences and heart. What was it like to get your book published?
Israel Civil Marriage Ban Blocks Those Not Considered Jewish From Wedding By Linda Gradstein/The Media Line A month ago, Rita Margulis and her fiancé Amit (as a career army officer he asked not to use his last name) got married at the Safari in Tel Aviv. There was a Reform rabbi and 450 guests. But according to the state of Israel, the wedding never happened. That is because Margulis, who immigrated to Israel from Ukraine at age 4, is not Jewish according to Jewish law, because her mother is not Jewish. Until her wedding, Margulis says it didn’t bother her much. “Getting married is a basic right that every citizen should have,” she told The Media Line. Israel is both a Jewish and democratic state. Thousands of couples have taken advantage of a loophole in the law, in which they fly abroad, often to Cyprus, and have a wedding there. Hiddush, an Israeli-American partnership for religious equality in Israel, has launched a campaign for civil marriage in Israel. Only Orthodox Rabbis may perform wedding ceremonies in Israel.
