HAPSKYThe reporter goes to New York with Artie and meets a Columbia University professor named Hapsky who has been emailing Teddy. Hapsky is a conspiracy nut; he believes the American president - a born-again Christian - attacked Iraq to provoke Iraq into attacking Israel (as it had in the 1991 war), beginning the process of the End of Days. Since Iraq fell quickly and failed to attack Israel, he says the president now intends, for the same reason, to invade Syria. As Hapsky puts it: "If Jesus is going to come for you if Israel is attacked, you're going to make it happen - isn't that clear?" Copyright ���� ��?? 2006 Aram Schefrin.

CLARISSE When Artie returns from Israel, he finds a letter from a lawyer in Delray Beach notfying him that he is the executor of Teddy's estate - and that he and Teddy's Jamaican girl, Clarisse Ward, are the heirs. The lawyers ask him to inventory Teddy's condo, so he takes a ride to Delray Beach and finds a sad Clarisse. She offers to move in with him and do for him what she'd done for Teddy. He declines the offer, then goes through the apartment, noting everything down. He finds the key to the secret room on a keyring which had been returned to him by the burial society in Tsfat. Inside, he finds a wall of photographs of Teddy with notables and celebrities, and five computers, all still on. The first shows emails from all over the country reporting anti-Semitic incidents. The second is a log of the doing of anti-Semitic organizatons. The third carries entries from big Jewish groups. The fourth has emails from the people on Teddy's wall, and the fifth is set to the website of Mooney Brice's church. Artie brings the reporter down to look at the room. After going through Brice's website, the reporter proposes the two of them go to Brice's megachurch, north in Frostfree, Florida, to find out more about the Church of the Reborn Christ.

The American President has announced that the WMD that had been in Iraq before the American invasion had been moved into Syria before the war. He demands that Syria open itself to U.S. inspection, and warns that that doesn't happen, the U.S. will invade. Bar-Ilan comes to the shivah to urge Artie to go home. Reluctantly, Artie agrees. But Shaya refuses to go back to Wellington; she decides instead to visit her daughter in New York. Artie hadn't known she had a daughter; she says it was none of his business, making Artie miserable.

SHAYA Shaya is a beautiful Israeli woman whom Artie first met in the days when the two of them played polo in The Hamptons. Artie is in love with her - from afar. In a polo tournament in Wellington, Shaya and another player get into a fight, and after the game Shaya is beaten senseless by the other player. Humiliated, Shaya runs home to Israel, to the house of her father, who lives in Tsfat. From there, she sends Artie an email, telling him that she is going to do the Palestinian thing - blow herself up along with the Dome of the Rock, one of the holiest Muslim shrines, which sits on Mount Mariah, where the Second Jewish Temple stood until the Romans destroyed it in 70 A.D. Artie can't understand why she would do such a thing. But after her father builds her a polo field outside Tsfat, Shaya decides that instead of blowing up the Muslim shrine, she will - on behalf of the Jews - challenge the Palestinians to a polo match. Since she is the only Israeli polo player, she asks Artie to play the game and to bring two other Jewish American players. After much internal debate, the Palestinians accept the challenge.
