This week in the New Jersey Jewish News:

• Jordan’s King Abdullah II in Princeton: “Time is running out”
• A West Orange man who lost his brother in a terrorist attack gets a green light to sue the Palestinian Authority.
• Synagogues are buzzing over the sale of Ugandan coffee (it’s all for a good cause).
• Grandma is a clown — really. An interview with Big Apple Circus star (and NJ resident) Barry Lubin.
• My column: What Jews want to hear on Farrakhan:

When it comes to anti-Semitism - especially of the consistent, baiting brand practiced by Farrakhan - many Jews don’t want to hear “despite….” They don’t want to hear about extenuating circumstances, or group loyalty, or anti-Semitic acts or deeds that need to be judged against the purveyors’ complete public record. And they have little patience for political calculations that weigh the number of votes a candidate will win or lose depending on how he or she couches the answer to the Farrakhan question.
