NEWSBRIEFS Tax Attorney Charlie Kopp Dies at 85
NOTED TAX ATTORNEY Charlie Kopp, who held several
prominent positions locally, died Feb. 6, according to law firm
Cozen O’Connor. He was 85.

Kopp joined Cozen of counsel in 2009 after many years at
Wolf Block.

A longtime Republican fundraiser, Kopp was a member
of the board of trustees of Thomas Jefferson University and a
board member of the Rothman Orthopaedic Institute. He was
appointed chairman of the Philadelphia Regional Port Authority
in 2011; 25 years earlier, he was appointed commissioner to the
Delaware River Port Authority.

Kopp served on the advisory board to the Resolution Trust
Corp., was appointed in 1980 to Gov. Dick Thornburgh’s Special
State Tax Commission and was appointed co-chair of the
Philadelphia Tax Committee in 1982.

Israel Defense Assistance, Anti-BDS Bill Passes Senate
By a 77-23 vote, the Senate approved a bill codifying $38 million in
Israeli defense assistance, while also giving states legal cover to battle
the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement, JTA reported.

Several prominent Democratic senators — including both
declared and likely candidates — voted against the bill. They said
that while they opposed BDS, they were worried that state laws
against it conflicted with freedom of speech.

Dissenters included declared presidential candidates Elizabeth
Warren of Massachusetts, Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, Cory
Booker of New Jersey and Kamala Harris of California, as well as likely
candidates Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Sherrod Brown of Ohio.

Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, who just announced her
candidacy, voted for the bill. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky was the
lone Republican voting against the bill.

ESPN: Foul Ball to the Head Killed Jewish Woman
in 2018 at Dodger Stadium
ESPN reported Feb. 5 that a foul ball to the head killed a California
Jewish woman on Aug. 29, four days after she was struck.

Linda Goldbloom, 79, died of “acute intracranial hemorrhage
due to history of blunt force trauma,” according to a coroner’s
report. The incident had not been previously reported.

Goldbloom was struck in the ninth inning of a game and
taken to a hospital, where she had emergency brain surgery.

After being unconscious on a respirator for three days, her family
allowed her to be taken off, as per her prior wishes.

Goldbloom and her husband of 59 years, Erwin, had been
partial season ticket holders for a decade.

Anti-Semitism Envoy Named
President Donald Trump on Feb. 5 named Los Angeles prosecutor Elan
Carr as the State Department’s envoy for anti-Semitism, JTA reported.

The post had been empty for two years.

Carr, 50, is an Army veteran with service in Iraq. He also was
the national president of Jewish fraternity Alpha Epsilon Pi.

“We eagerly look forward to working with Carr, as his office
combats rising anti-Semitism, generated from the far right, the
far left, and Islamist extremists, and abetted by the ubiquitous
nature of social media,” American Jewish Committee CEO
David Harris said in a statement.

One of Carr’s first orders of business was attending a con-
ference on anti-Semitism in Bratislava, followed by a European
Union conference on anti-Semitism to be held in Brussels. l

ISRAELBRIEFS Increased Settlements in Judea and Samaria Promoted
RIGHT-WING LAWMAKERS in Israel are promoting a set-
tlement plan calling for 2 million Jews to settle in Judea and
Samaria, JNS.org reported.

Israel Hayom reported that numerous lawmakers from the Likud
and other right-wing parties have signed a Nahala movement petition
calling for the settlements. The plan was originally introduced during
the administration of the late Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir.

Government policies would shift significantly under the plan,
with increased construction in existing settlements and new set-
tlements throughout the territory.

Nahala activists have protested in recent weeks outside the
Prime Minister’s Residence in Jerusalem. They are calling for
the government to settle throughout Judea and Samaria and end
thoughts of a two-state solution.

First of 1,000 Ethiopian Immigrants Arrive in Israel
More than 80 Ethiopian immigrants arrived in Israel on Feb.

4 as part of a plan to bring 1,000 Ethiopians who already have
children there to the country, JTA reported.

The 82 arrivals are part of the Falash Mura community. It claims
linkage to Jewish descendants who converted under duress to
Christianity generations ago and now want to return to Judaism.

About 8,000 Falash Mura seek permission to immigrate to Israel.

The plan to bring in 1,000 immigrants was approved by
Israel’s Cabinet in October; the immigrants must have first-de-
gree relatives already in Israel who entered through prior gov-
ernment decisions about the Falash Mura. Parents may bring
partners and unmarried children without children of their own.

Surveys: Israelis Tops in Social Media Usage
Israelis ranked first worldwide in social media usage, with 77 per-
cent of adults using social platforms, according to a Pew Research
Center reported released Feb. 5, The Times of Israel reported.

South Korea came in second, with 76 percent of respondents using
social networks, followed by Sweden, the Netherlands, Australia and
the United States, where 70 percent of adults are social media users.

In addition, Israelis ranked second in smartphone ownership at
88 percent, with 98 percent owning a mobile phone. South Korea
was first, with 95 percent of its adults owning a smartphone.

In advanced economies worldwide, 76 percent of adults own
a smartphone, compared to 45 percent in emerging economies.

More than 5 billion of the 7.5 billion people worldwide own
mobile devices, according to the survey.

Shacking Up Without Marriage Increasingly
Popular in Israel, Up 6 Percent Since 2016
The number of couples cohabiting instead of getting married is
on the rise in Israel, according to Central Bureau of Statistics
data, The Jerusalem Post reported on Feb. 5.

The statistics bureau said 88,000 couples — including 83,000
couples with at least one Jewish partner — are living together
without being married.

That’s a 6 percent increase from 2016, when there were 83,000
cohabiting couples.

And despite annual 2 percent increases in the general pop-
ulation, the number of couples registered for marriage in 2018
dropped 6.6 percent from 2016 — just 35,163 couples last year,
compared to 37,675 couples two years earlier.

The Religious Services Ministry attributed some of the
declines to a growing increase in the average age of marriage. l
