Hi, I just got back after checking your website and videos and ... have never seen anything like it before. It's unbelievable and is a life we haven't known. Not even sure what to say, we're still reeling...

BTW, Mr. Barer, you can see all about me at: www.rabbijacobs.com . Not that I'm much to look at, but like to be transparent. Best.

Mr. Barer (Burl), Sorry, I'm laughing as I write this. First, I just joined today, and you're the third nice person to welcome me. Second your note is hilarious. (If I could just figure out what you're saying: "Baha'i of Jewish Heritage, who filled in for Rabbi..." Anyhow, thanks for welcoming me. Thank G-d, I've been extremely successful publishing books in Jewish law for many years, whatever I write gets bought up, and distributed by the largest Jewish publisher in the world. But, now I want to publish something mainstream, and I never had the opportunity to develop those contacts. The warden of my prison was murdered by the most famous criminal in Israel in 1980, one of his own inmates. That warden, Major Ronnie Nitzan, was a social worker, who dreamed to revamp the Israel Prison Service from drug-infested violence to rehab education and civil. The underground rose against him, spearheaded by Hertzel Avitan, (Israel's Al Capone), convicted of three murders, an inmate in Nitzan's prison. Warden Nitzan permitted Avitan to leave prison to visit his dying father, Avitan escapes, is on the lam for four months, and ambushes warden Nitzan on his way to work with twenty-two machine gun bullets, then escapes to France. Following the murder, the underground as well as the Prison Service realized had low they'd fallen. Today, the Israel Prison Service is known as a world leader in rehab and education, and it all because of the death of this one man. I know warden Nitzan's family personally: elderly parents, daughter, and widow. I all the archived material: all the newspaper articles, personal records, everything. As I say, I'm looking for collaboration. I don't know much about the Edgar Award. But it sounds impressive. What now?

Rabbi -- I am an Edgar Award winning true crime author under contract to Pinnacle True Crime (Kensington Publishing Group). Whatcha got?
I haven't been to Israel since 1998 when I was there for my Baha'i Pilgrimage. I am a Baha'i of Jewish Heritage. I filled in for Rabbi Boravitz (sp) teaching Torah study while he was on tour for his book, HOLY THIEF. Go figure.

that vet sounds like a nightmare! not perceptive! as for anyone being dangerous--well I go by the kinds of photos they put up. if they look violent--they don't become friends! but why do I think you're not afraid of anything?! and thanks about what you said about me. Yes, you're most welcome! the only odd thing I found was some friends requests at least I got--it was a one-off if you know what I mean! I accepted their request and they were gone! try to get into the FORUMS. reply to something that interests you--how about starting one yourself? go into FORUMS--choose: START A DISCUSSION and type your discussion topic, like for instance: ARE THERE ANY TRUE CRIME AUTHORS OUT THERE? see who responds and what they say. Again, welcome! enjoy it, it's fun. I tend to come on when I take a break in writing! all the best to you!!

Okay, I just accepted something. I hope I didn't pay my electric bill. If I don't answer somebody, please nobody be offended, I'm still trying to learn to navigate this site. I learn fast.

Okay, I just joined this and I got a message, and I don't exactly know which button I'm supposed to press. One second, I think I can figure this out. I think I just read them, and find the one which makes sense.
