The Guiding Zen Master of Jungto Society Ven. Pomnyun Sunim is the founder and Guiding Zen Master of Jungto Society. He entered Buddhist Sangha as a novice guided by his teacher, Ven. Bulshim Domoon Sunim, at Boonwhangsa Temple, South Korea, in 1969, and was ordained a bhikku by his teacher in 1991. He is not only a Buddhist monk and Zen master but also a social activist who leads various movements such as ecological awareness campaign; promotion of human rights and world peace; and eradication of famine, disease, and illiteracy. Venerable Pomnyun Sunim, a respected Buddhist monk and activist, began humanitarian assistance to North Korea immediately after the 1995 flood when the famine situation arose in 1995 and had published reports on the ‘North Korean Food Crisis’, ‘North Korean Refugees Situation’ and the ‘Comprehensive Reports on the Human Rights Issues in North Korea’. He is the chairman of The Peace Foundation in Seoul, which supports policy research and analysis aimed at Korean unification and humanitarian issues in North Korea. He concurrently serves as the chairman of Good Friends for Peace, Human Rights, and Refugee Issues, whose weekly publication “North Korea Today” provides detailed, up-to-date information about conditions on the ground in North Korea. Venerable Pomnyun is also chairman of the Join Together Society, an international relief agency with offices worldwide, including in North Korea. He has worked extensively to supply humanitarian aid to famine victims in North Korea and defend the human rights of North Korean refugees in China. He is also a Zen master with the Seoul-based JungTo Society, which he originally established in 1988 to facilitate self-improvement through volunteerism. Jungto Society’s motto is ‘Open Mind, Good Friends, and Clean Earth.’ Ven. Pomnyun Sunim has been advocating a new paradigm of civilization movement in which everyone is happy through practice, creates a happy society through active participation in social movements, and protects our environment and the Earth, the mother of all living things, through a simple life style. As part of the new paradigm movement, he founded Join Together Society in 1994 to eradicate famine in developing countries; Eco Buddha in 1994 to protect the environment; and Good Friends in 1999 to advocate human rights, help refugees, and promote world peace. He also established The Peace Foundation, a private research institute, in 2004, to bring permanent peace, stability, and unification to the Korean Peninsula. Through these organizations, he has devoted himself to advocating human rights, eradicating famine, disease, and illiteracy in many countries (Afghanistan, India, Mongolia, Myanmar, Philippines, Sri Lanka, and North Korea) and promoting peace on the Korean Peninsula. In recognition of his efforts to promote peace and human rights, the Ramon Magsaysay Award for Peace and International Understanding was granted to Ven. Pomnyun Sunim in September 2002. Ven. Pomnyun Sunim’s easy, clear, and insightful advice based on Buddha’s teachings shows us how to be happy and free in our daily life. His books and Dharma talks available in audio cassettes, CDs, video files on the website, and DVDs have had great appeal to many people.

As of 2011, 56.4% of New Jersey's children under the age of one belonged to racial or ethnic minority groups, meaning that they had at least one parent who was not non-Hispanic white.[79] It has the second largest Jewish population by percentage (after New York);[80] the second largest Muslim population by percentage (after Michigan); the largest population of Peruvian Americans in the United States; the largest population of Cubans outside of Florida; the third highest Asian population by percentage; and the third highest Italian population by percentage, according to the 2000 Census. African Americans, Hispanics (Puerto Ricans and Dominicans), West Indians, Arabs, and Brazilian and Portuguese Americans are also high in number. New Jersey has the third highest Asian Indian population of any state by absolute numbers and the highest by percentage,[81][82][83][84]with Bergen County home to America's largest Malayali community.[85] Overall, New Jersey has the third largest Korean population, with Bergen County home to the highest Korean concentration per capita of any U.S. county[86] (6.9% in 2011). New Jersey also has the fourth largest Filipino population, and fourth largest Chinese population, per the 2010 U.S. Census. The five largest ethnic groups in 2000 were: Italian (17.9%), Irish (15.9%), African (13.6%), German (12.6%), Polish (6.9%).
Newark was the fourth poorest of U.S. cities with over 250,000 residents in 2008,[87] but New Jersey as a whole had the second-highest median household income as of 2014.[21] This is largely because so much of New Jersey consists of suburbs, most of them affluent, of New York City and Philadelphia. New Jersey is also the most densely populated state, and the only state that has had every one of its counties deemed "urban" as defined by the Census Bureau's Combined Statistical Area.[88]
In 2010, 6.2% of its population was reported as under age 5, 23.5% under 18, and 13.5% were 65 or older; and females made up approximately 51.3% of the population.[94]
A study by the Pew Research Center found that in 2013, New Jersey was the only U.S. state in which immigrants born in India constituted the largest foreign-born nationality, representing roughly 10% of all foreign-born residents in the state.[93]

Beverage Industry Pioneer And Holocaust Survivor Langer Passes Away
Mr. Nathan Langer
Mr. Nathan Langer, founder and president of Langer Juice Co., died Wednesday following complications from a stroke.
Mr. Langer founded Langer Juice Co. in 1960 and co-founded Unadulterated Foods (later known as Snapple) in 1973. He also was a Holocaust survivor.
Mr. Langer, a native of Krakow, Poland, grew up in a family of wine makers, where he learned the craft of making high-quality and pure beverages at Arade Winery, the family winery. Following the Nazi occupation of Poland in 1939, Arade was confiscated, and Mr. Langer and his parents and sister were taken to concentration camps. Mr. Langer and his father were sent to Skarzysko-Kamienna forced labor camp; he did not leave as long as his father was there; he escaped once that he saw his father had no longer survived.
Mr. Langer also survived the Nazi bombing of his aunt’s apartment building in Warsaw where he, his sister and aunt were in hiding. He was able to dig out and save his aunt, but he could not save his sister. Mr. Langer was his immediate family’s only survivor.
In 1945, Mr. Langer went to the American Sector of Berlin to emigrate to the U.S. He arrived in the U.S. in 1949. While in Berlin, he met his wife of 60 years, Mira, also a Holocaust survivor, who preceded him in death.
Mr. Langer founded Langer Juice Co. with the aspiration of making juice with the care and purity he learned at the family winery. He created juices that were made with locally grown fruit and without preservatives or other additives, and the company grew from a local, Southern California brand in health food stores to a national brand that is one of the largest, family-owned juice companies. In 1973, Mr. Langer and three partners founded another company, Unadulterated Foods, based on the same principles of quality and purity, the predecessor of the Snapple brand.
Mr. Langer frequently told his children and grandchildren that his story was the personification of the American Dream and proved that an immigrant who came to the U.S. without speaking English and without financial resources has the opportunity to build a business, raise a family, educate his children and start a new life in America, where he proudly became a U.S. citizen.
Mr. Langer is survived by three sons, Dennis Langer, M.D., a former pharmaceutical executive and co-founder/director of several bio-pharmaceutical companies; David and Bruce Langer, co-VPs of Langer Juice Co.; daughters-in-law, Susan Langer, M.D., Melissa and Stefani; and seven grandchildren and a great-grandson.
Funeral services for Mr. Langer will be held at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, June 7, at Harbor Lawn-Mt. Olive Memorial Park & Mortuary, 1625 Gisler Avenue, in Costa Mesa, California.
A meal of consolation will follow at 5 p.m. at Mimi’s Cafe, 1835 F. Newport Boulevard in Costa Mesa.Nathan Langer, who survived the Holocaust and went on to found Langer Juice Co., died Wednesday at the age of 86.
A native of Krakow, Poland, Langer escaped from a concentration camp when he was a young boy after his father was killed. He and a sister later hid at his aunt’s apartment in Warsaw until her building was bombed by the Nazis, killing his sister. He was the only survivor of his immediate family.
After World War II, Langer immigrated to the United States, along with his wife, Mira, another Holocaust survivor.
In 1960, he founded the City of Industry juice company, continuing in the beverage business he’s learned as a boy at his family’s company, Arade Winery. Langer was also a co-founder of Unadulterated Food Products, which later became Snapple, according to his son, Bruce. He and another of Langer’s three sons, David, are now vice presidents at Langer Juice Co. A third, Dennis, is a physician.
“Our father would always say, ‘How you make your bed is how you are going to sleep,’” Bruce Langer said. “He always believed in being prepared, organized, on time, if not always early, for meetings, and especially he believed in hard work.” http://www.theshelbyreport.com/2015/06/05/beverage-industry-pioneer-and-holocaust-survivor-langer-passes-away/
