A woman who was shot in the arm when she tried to protect her unborn child during July's deadly shooting rampage at the Jewish Federation offices here has given birth to a healthy baby boy, her publicist said Wednesday.

Charley Paz Klein was born at about 9 p.m. Tuesday in a Seattle hospital to Dayna Klein, 37. His middle name, which means peace, was chosen in memory of Pamela Waechter, who died in the July 28 shooting, said Howard Bragman.

L'Chayim to the Queen!

The Queen, together with His Royal Highness, Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh, paid tribute to the British Jewish community on Tuesday night at a special reception at St. James's Palace, on London's famous Pall Mall, to commemorate the 350th anniversary of the Jewish community...

To commemorate the occasion, Britain's chief rabbi, Sir Jonathan Sacks, presented the Queen with a hanukia and Rabbi Tony Bayfield of the Reform Movement presented a kiddish cup to Prince Philip....

"The British Jewish community is intensely loyal both to Britain and to the royal family especially, and this was simply a way of saying thank you."
