Rabbi Jonathan Berkunexpressed his enthusiasm, exclaim-ing: “As Rosh Hashanah approaches,there is a feeling of electricity in theair. Everyone is eagerly anticipatingthe sound of the shofar (ram’s horn)and the wake-up call it inspires. TheNew Year marks the time for Jewishpeople to lead better, more purposeful

and more meaningful lives. I amlooking forward to personally greet-ing the congregation and to usheringin this season of new beginnings as acommunity.”

Once a small, storefront synagogueand now a bustling spiritual home tomore than 2,000 Jews, ATJC hasmany reasons to celebrate.

NEW YOUTH LOUNGEIn January of 2012, the synagogue

undertook the project of turning twoclassrooms at the Tauber Academy

into a contemporary youth lounge tobetter serve teens after the age of Baror Bat Mitzvah. ATJC felt it wascrucial to engage the congregation’steenagers and help them developJudaism as part of their growing,independent identities.

The 1,200 sq. foot lounge located inthe George and Dorothy Barrie YouthCenter is the home to ATJC’s weeklyHebrew High classes and to theAventura Chapter of BBYO (B’naiB’rith Youth Organization). Thelounge, designed by Eugene Kesslerand Cindy Muchnick, containsfoosball, air hockey, ping pong, a flatscreen TV, modern furniture and akitchenette. The renovation was fund-ed in part by ATJC members, Dr. Barryand Marcy Resnik, Ari and Dr. Sheryl-Lynn Odzer, Sam and Meryll Katz,ATJC’s Brotherhood, Josh and DanaKrut, Laurence and Becky Herrup, andDr. Amir and Sue Baron. So far, thelounge has hosted mock Passoverseders, BBYO board meetings, speak-ers from Israel and much more.

He sat on the park bench or wonderinghow it could have happened.

They had known each other for twoyears and he thought they were on a pathto something good.

He had been away for awhileand when he had returned hecalled her. When he told her itwas John calling, she had replied“John who?” He was a bit hurtbecause he had felt pretty surethat they were getting closer. Theway she answered made him feelthat he wasn’t attractive to her.

While he was feeling so rejected a prettygirl came by and sat next to him on thebench. Somehow she got him talking abouthow he felt. She looked at him and told himthat he was a very attractive man andshould not feel so rejected. The more shetalked, the better he felt. When she men-tioned that she had a John who was out oftown and he could be her John if he want-ed to, he perked up. She then told him that

since he was so upset she would onlycharge him $50 instead of her usual $100that she charged her other John and he wasmore impressed. He felt he needed her to

feel better and he could becomeher “John.”

All he had to do was make surehe had the right price when hewas with her, and she wouldnever forget that he was her John.

She smiled, gave him her num-ber to call and left. He sat on thebench feeling much better.

She was cutting her price forhim and had said he could be her John. Sheknew his name and was sure she wouldn’tforget.

Someone he had known for a few yearshad already for gotten his name. This girlmade him feel sure she would rememberhim as her “John.”

He got up and ran after her knowing thatshe wouldn’t forget that he was her Johnwhenever he called her.

When you feel let down it is oftenbecause you had expectations and madeassumptions about your relationships andyour situations, which is normal.

When you feel let down you haveoptions about how you will react. Youmight get upset or angry. You might feelhurt. You might fume and seethe anddeclare, “It’s unfair” or condemn the personor persons involved. You might choose toconfront the person or situation. Before youdo, consider their possible reactions andyour reaction to what they might say. It ispossible to make matters worse. You run therisk of being hurt even more. Ask yourself ifyou want them to know that they hurt you,disappointed you or let you down. Thenask yourself what you hope to achieve. Doyou want an apology or the promise that itwon’t happen again? Or do you simply want

to vent? Consider the fact that any con-frontation can alter or perhaps end the rela-tionship, the friendship, or the job.

When you feel let down, it usuallymeans that you misjudged the nature of therelationship. You assumed that it was differ-ent than it was. It tells you that you hadhopes and expectations and that you wantedsomething. If you did not want somethingfrom the person or the situation you wouldnot feel let down or disappointed. It showsyou your own needs.

When you feel let down you might betempted to carry a grudge with all of thepainful, negative feelings that go with it. Agrudge is far too heavy to carry. It will onlyhurt the person carrying it. Realize that andlet go of any resentment and bitterness youfeel. A grudge will only exhaust you andsap your life force and joy.

It is better to examine and acknowledgeyour own needs. Find alternate ways to sat-isfy them. Alter your persona. You mightfind that you do not need to do anythingabout it at all.Patricia Frank is a LicensedPsychotherapist. She can be reached at305-788-4864.

senior from Broward County is rushed to theemergency room because she mixed med-ications that are contra-indicated. Anotherbounced around from specialist to specialist,

undergoing duplicate tests and procedures.All of this could be avoided.More than 100 studies document the critical role pri-

mary care physicians (PCPs) play in patient care. PCPscan be many things for a patient — their cheerleader, ad-vocate and even their medical interpreter — but most im-portantly, the studies prove that having a strongrelationship with a PCP leads to better quality of life,more productive longevity, and lower costs as a result ofreduced hospitalization, improved prevention and bettercoordination of chronic disease care.AvMed Health Plans, one of the oldest Medicare

providers in South Florida, has embraced a more PCP-coordinated approach to healthcare. The company re-cently introduced CenteredCare®, which puts the PCPat the center of every member’s care.According to Dr. Edwin Rodriguez, Medical Director at

AvMed, this coordinated approach will lead to betterhealth outcomes for patients.“Some 15-20% of Medicare hospital admissions are

due to medication complications,” said Rodriguez. “By

developing a strong relationship with your PCP, you canavoid this.”Louise Schendel, a senior from Margate who visits her

PCP every three months, admits she would be lost with-out the lasting relationship she has built with her PCPover the years.“When I have a problem, I call him and he tells me ex-

actly where to go and what to do. I feel like I have some-one out there rooting for me,” said Schendel, an AvMedMedicare Advantage plan member for two years. “With-out my PCP I wouldn’t have the confidence on where togo and what specialists to visit.”William Pena, M.D., a primary care physician who

practices in Hollywood, often acts as an interpreter forpatients who don’t always understand what a specialistrecommends:"They want us to explain procedures. The best way to

get better results is when a patient clearly understandswhat they have and how to interpret tests. They need tounderstand their options for treatment and they rely ontheir PCP to help."

Studies Don’t Lie:Patients Benefit from a Strong PCP Relationship by Christine Bucan

A

Associated Press reporter Beth J.Harpaz was right when she recently wrote,“Good luck finding someone who canexplain in 10 words or less what the Warof 1812 was all about.” Some historianswill say it was over “Impressment,” name-ly, that the U.S. declared war againstEngland because the British were wrong-fully seizing their deserting sailors offAmerica’s ships. Well, the British hadalready agreed not to do it again before wedeclared war against England. Some willsay that the “war was a last grasp byEngland to control its former colonies.”The British, however, were alreadyinvolved in a “parallel war” in fighting theNapoleonic Wars in Europe and theBritish public opposed another lengthywar with America. Many historians saythat the War of 1812 “was an attemptedland grab of Canada by the U.S.” There issome merit in that argument as we had

invaded Canada twice; the first time wasduring our Revolutionary War and thesecond time was shortly after our 1812Declaration of War, however, the Britishwon both times. Some say that the U.S.wanted to show the British our greatstrength in our “Second War ofIndependence.” Hardly, as Britain hadsome 600 ships while the U.S. had just 17ships, including Old Ironsides, the mostimportant ship in our fleet.

Were the British horrible in invadingAmerica and burning down our WhiteHouse on August 24, 1814? Well, notquite. The reason they did it was in retali-ation for our invading Canada and ourburning down their White House. Thereshould be no dispute that Andrew Jacksonled the “final American Victory at theBattle of New Orleans,” aided by Jewishpirate Jean Lafitte. Well, not quite, as thewar was already declared over but wordhad not yet reached Jackson and theBritish forces in New Orleans.

Who won the War of 1812? At best, itwas a tie. British forces held someAmerican land, including parts of Maine.Both sides agreed, however, to simplystop the war and go back to the originalborders.

If you want to start eating better, it maybe time for an “extreme food makeover” tar-geting what’s currently on your takeoutmenu or in your fridge and kitchen cabinets.Here are some makeover recipes and ideasfor what should get tossed in a hefty bag tomake room for healthier choices:MMaakkee TTaakkeeoouutt HHeeaalltthhiieerr

A recent episode of the Dr. Oz Showfeatured how to take all the fat and caloriesout of popular takeout entrees like these: . A healthier recipe for shrimp fried rice usesquinoa instead of rice; ponzu sauce (whichhas a lot less sodium than soy sauce),edamame, asparagus, peppers and a few tbs.of canola oil. While the typical takeout ver-sion has as much as 1,000 calories – thishealthier version only has 360 calories perserving.

A healthier meatball parmesan recipeuses ground chicken instead of ground beefor pork and whole wheat pasta. Other“secret” ingredients include two egg whites,frozen spinach, and grated parmesan cheese.A regular takeout serving has 970 calories –but this healthier version only has 490 calo-ries per serving. SShheellvvee IItt

If you’ve got yogurt on your refrigeratorshelf, take the “Activia challenge” and dis-cover. Activia Dessert Vanilla Bean in a fouroz. size has a whopping 19g of sugar – butDannon Light & Fit Vanilla has only 1gsugar per 6 oz serving.

Are your cabinet shelves stocked withenergy bars marketed as high protein? Someactually have very low amounts of proteinand high amounts of carbohydrates in theform of sugar. For example, one leadingbrand has 10 grams of protein and as muchas 18 grams of sugar - while another betterchoice has 30 grams of protein and only 2grams of sugar. BBoowwlleedd OOvveerr

Beware of what’s in your bowl since“healthy looking cereals” such as Kellogg’sRaisin Bran or Smart Start have as much as

17g sugar; Quaker flavored oatmeal has 9gsugar; and Nature Valley Granola Bars have12g sugar. Smarter choices include PublixBran Flakes, Multigrain Cheerios andQuaker original flavored oatmeal. PPoouurr iitt OOuutt

Beware of fruit smoothies! One 24-ounce smoothie provides about 450 calories- that’s the same amount of calories in 10-12doughnut holes! A solution is to make lesscaloric homemade versions using 1-2 serv-ings fruit, 1/2 cup skim milk, and 1/2 cupnon-fat flavored yogurt. OOuutt tthhee DDoooorr

If shelves on your refrigerator door arefilled with fattening salad dressings andcondiments, lose ‘em and buy winningreplacements to enjoy with all the fresh veg-etables and lean proteins you’ll be restock-ing with. Using balsamic vinegar, red winevinegar, calorie-free Walden Farms dress-ings (available in the produce department)and mustard instead of mayo or ketchup canhelp toss added fat and calories out of saladsand sandwiches. GGoo YYoonnaannaass!!

Instead of ice cream, now you can satis-fy your sweet tooth with a lot less fat andcalories thanks to the amazing Yonanasmachine. It makes creamy, delicious frozentreats, using only frozen fruit, that looks,tastes and feels like soft-serve ice cream inseconds! Visit yonanas.com (available atBed Bath & Beyond).

What comes to mind when someone says“Frat Party?” If you’re like most people,you may conjure up images of rowdy late-night bashes in which frat boys and sorori-ty girls are drinking, partying and ultimate-ly trashing said party house. At least that isthe image Hollywood would have usbelieve.

Well, recently I attended a frat party - ofsorts...and I am proud to say it was NOTH-ING like those created for the big screen.

In this case, a handful of frat brothers ofSouth Florida’s Alpha Phi Alpha cametogether to party with a purpose. Hostingthe first annual White Party, the Alphasteamed up with local charity, Kids inDistress. The organization serves childrenand families in need in our community;filling the economic, social and emotionalgaps which unfortunately exist for far toomany youngsters here in South Florida.

A swanky, classy affair which began themoment the valet staff whisked away ourcars, guests were treated to perhaps one ofthe most chic frat parties to date. Therewere no beer-kegs anywhere or collegeboys jumping into pools fully-clothed.

There were no stragglers laying drunk onthe front lawn. There was no one hangingfrom a second floor balcony vomiting on

the people below. There was however, livemusic by saxophonist Randy Corinthian,upscale silent auction items, delectablefood presented by the students of LeCordon Bleu College of Culinary arts and atop notch South Florida view of the oceanfrom the private home of a Broward sup-porter. What fun to be on hand serving asguest host and to see dozens of guestsenjoying a night of music, food, friendshipand community service!

The success of this frat party shouldcome as no surprise. Founded in 1906, byAfrican American students at CornellUniversity determined to build a bufferagainst racial injustice, the fraternity ofAlpha Phi Alpha has a motto that sets thepace for what the frat brothers of todaycontinue to do: Develop leaders, promotebrotherhood and academic excellence,while providing service and advocacy forour communities.

I would say Alpha Phi Alpha foundingfathers would be proud! The event raisedapproximately $8,000, with proceedsgoing directly to Kids in Distress! I don’tknow about you, but I’m thinking THAT’Sthe kind of frat party Hollywood should bedepicting!

“We are extremely proud of the accom-plishments we have achieved during thepast 25 years,” said Randy Richardson,President of Vi. “In an era of uncertainty,our employees and residents can take pridein the fact we are a stable, national presencewithin the senior living industry, free fromthird-party debt in our CCRC communitiesand managed by a strong, long-tenuredteam.”

Vi was established in 1987 as ClassicResidence by Hyatt and changed its nameto Vi in 2010. Vi is the Latin root for theword “life,” which was chosen as the namefor the company because it captures thepositive opportunities to live a more engag-ing and fulfilling life as an older adult.

Vi’s ability to merge its hospitality her-itage with quality senior living is what dif-ferentiates the brand from others. Visitorsand residents can sense this commitment toquality and service from the moment theywalk into one of Vi’s communities, accord-

ing to Richardson. “Hospitality is in ourDNA; and every detail is meant to conveyquality service, from the decor to ourlifestyle and fitness programs and to ouremployees who’ve been specially trained inthe art of making residents feel at home.”

Vi communities feature stylish diningvenues that enable residents to eat well anddine in style. Menus offer a variety ofoptions to suit residents’ nutritional needsand taste preferences. Meals are preparedby chefs trained at The Culinary Institute ofAmerica.

As testament to Vi’s approach, a recentsurvey of independent living residents atVi’s 10 CCRC communities finds themhappy with their decision to live at Vi. Thesurvey, taken this spring, finds that 94 per-cent of Vi’s independent living residentswho completed the survey are very satis-fied or satisfied with the community.Almost 95 percent say they would recom-mend their Vi community to family orfriends.

‘Aventura Fall Lineup’

The Mount Sinai Wien Center forAlzheimer’s Disease and MemoryDisorders is taking a lead role in Florida’sSilver Alert program, a plan to help lawenforcement officers rescue persons withAlzheimer’s disease, or a related disorder,who are driving a car and become lost.Mount Sinai helps disseminate informationfor the Department of Elder Affairs andcoordinates with the police department toensure the victims’ and their familiesreceive the follow up care they need.

The Silver Alert program informs thepublic of the missing person throughdynamic message signs on the highway.These lighted message signs display thewords “Silver Alert” along with the make,color and license tag number of the carbeing driven by the missing person. It is acoordinated effort to quickly broadcastimportant information to citizens so thatthey can assist in the rescue of an endan-gered person. For a Silver Alert to beissued, the senior citizen must be over 60years old, have a clear indication of demen-tia and be driving.

According to Dr. Ranjan Duara, MedicalDirector of Mount Sinai’s Wien Center,“Individuals with dementia are at the great-est risk for wandering, and they can make

judgmental errors such as driving intowooded areas or water, driving the wrongway on the road, and not recognizing roadsigns. Mount Sinai’s participation in theSilver Alert Program is vital to protecting a

very fragile and vulnerable population inFlorida, and it may help prevent a tragedy.”

Over 4 million Floridians are aged 60 orolder, and more than 500,000 of them havesome sort of dementia. Mount Sinai

Medical Center, along with the FloridaSilver Alert Support Committee, urges res-idents to look after friends and family withdementia, and to stay alert for Silver Alertsigns along the roadways.

If you believe a senior citizen has gonemissing from their residence or they havefailed to arrive at a destination within a rea-sonable period of time, call 911 immediate-ly and have them initiate a Silver Alert. Beprepared to provide the local authoritieswith the make, model, year, and color of thecar, along with the tag number and tagstate. In addition, let them know if the miss-ing senior is taking any medications andhave a photograph ready. Unlike filing amissing person’s report, there is no waitingperiod to issue a Silver Alert.

If you think you have spotted the personmentioned in a Silver Alert, you should call911 immediately and give the location ofwhere you believe you saw this person.

IDEAL MEDICAL CENTER


As Allergists, we commonly see patientswho suspect they have an allergy to one ormultiple foods. Sometimes the symptomsare striking and unmistakable, such as whenhives and swelling develop within minutesof eating a particular food. Atother times, the symptoms maybe delayed and more vague,which clouds the causal relation-ship.

Often patients come bearing ablood test which shows one ormultiple foods which were “posi-tive.” Alternatively, the bloodtest is completely negative despitea seemingly clear allergicresponse to a food. Without theproper interpretation, these resultsmay create confusion instead ofclarity.

An important axiom in medicine is “treatthe patient, not the test.” This means regard-less of what the blood test or skin testdemonstrates, the results must be correlatedwith the experience of the patient. The med-ical literature has shown that up to twentypercent of patients with a serious food aller-gy can test negative on a blood test.Conversely, food allergy tests are known toyield false positive results, both by blood

and skin.One of the Allergist’s tasks is to interpret

the test results by comparing them to thepatient’s history. When there is a match, adiagnosis can be established. In the case of

a discrepancy, the rulingalways favors the patient’sexperience. For example, whena food seems to cause a reactionbut both skin and blood testsare “negative,” further testingmust be done before the foodmay be safely reinserted intothe diet, as some food allergiesmay be life-threatening.

Sometimes the reason for themismatch is based on the defi-nition of the word “allergy.”Patients often use the term torefer to any adverse symptom

or reaction. Allergists use a much more nar-row definition and test accordingly. An“intolerance” is not the same as an “allergy.”

For more information on this or any otherallergy-related topic, contact Dr. YoramPadeh, Dr. Zurik Waxenghiser or Dr.Michelle Eisenfeld at Asthma and AllergyAssociates of Florida at 305-932-5662 orvisit allergyweb.com.

It’s not easy. A growing number of families with aging spouses, parentsand grandparents are facing some very tough question. Where will their seniorloved ones live? Who will care for them? Where can they find affordablecare? The goal for many families is to help seniors remain independent and intheir own homes as long as possible. Most don’t require constant supervisionor medical attention, yet. Right now, all they really need is a helping hand.“Most seniors want to remain in the comfort and security of their own homes

and can do so safely with the little bit of help,” said Scott Cantin, Vice Presidentof Advancare, LLC. The agency provides compassionate caregivers who goto the senior’s home and help with daily living. They include such things asmeal preparation, transportation, bathing, grooming light housekeeping, andmedication reminders-task that have become too difficult for seniors to per-form.“Family members are the largest group of caregivers,” said Cantin.

“Twenty-five millionAmericans currently provide eighty percent of the homecare. Many have children and jobs or live thousands of miles away. It can very stressfulsituation. By getting some qualified assistance, the result is a happier, safer senior with lessstress of family caregivers.”When does a family know their senior needs help? According to Cantin, family members

need to consider some assistance when they notice significant changes in the way seniormoves, acts, thinks and responds. However, families often need some objective assistancein ascertaining the extent of the problem and deciding on a course of action. Cantin saysthere is no need to guess. He suggests family members ask themselves the following ques-tions; and if there is a concern with even one of these indicators, the family discusses theissue openly, calmly and honestly.• Has there been a medical condition diagnosed that affects daily living?• Has driving become difficult?• Is their weight stable and refrigerator well stocked?• Are household chores being done regularly?• Are there signs of moodiness such as loneliness, despair, depression, frustration, irritability

or anxiety? A fear of going out ofthe house?• Do you notice memory lapses anddifficulty finding the right words?• Are medications being taken reg-ularly and on time? Does the seniorunderstand what the medications arefor and are refills on schedule?Cantin said one of the biggest

fears among senior citizens is thefear of falling, because it leads tolost confidence and decreased activ-ity.“Falling is the primary catalyst

for hospital admissions among sen-iors,” said Cantin. “Falls are re-sponsible for 40 percent of nursinghome admissions and 70 percent of

accidental deaths in people over seventy-five years of age. Injuries from falls cost $70 bil-lion dollars each year.Cantin said that the good news is the most falls can be prevented. Besides controlling

internal physical factors, families can correct cluttered spaces, poor lighting, lack ofhandrails, unstable chairs and other environmental factors to significantly reduce the chancesof a serious injury from a fall.Advancare provides specially trained caregiver for seniors and chronically ill living in

the South Florida area. The agency is a member of the Senior’s Choice network of inde-pendent companion care companies, which requires its own training and certification processfor their employees. All of our caregivers must pass a background checks and ongoing.“Our staff is comprised of experienced caregivers-good people with big hearts,” said

Cantin. “They provide much needed companionship in additional to helping with tasks andchores.”Anyone interested in inquiring about their services or who want a free assessment may

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL)

is proud to announce that the League has

just received a generous Grant Award

from the Dr. John T. Macdonald

Foundation, Inc. that will help expand

ADL’s No Place for Hate® campaign

into ten new schools in North Miami-

Dade County during the 2012-2013

school year.

No Place for Hate® programs were

developed to organize schools and com-

munities to work together and develop

activities that enhance the appreciation

of diversity and foster harmony amongst

diverse groups. Through a generous

grant provided by the Harriet and Jack

Rosenfeld Foundation in 2009, schools

throughout Miami-Dade and Broward

Counties have already been and contin-

ue to be designated No Place for Hate®.

Through this new incredibly generous

fund from the Dr. John T. Macdonald

Foundation, Inc., ten elementary and

middle schools in the North Miami

Beach Senior High School and North

Miami Senior High School feeder pat-

terns will receive bullying-prevention

trainings for educators and students.

“The Anti-Defamation League is

extremely grateful to the Dr. John T.

Macdonald Foundation, Inc. not only for

their generosity, but for their acumen in

recognizing the need to stop the epidem-

ic of bullying and cyberbullying in our

schools through a communitywide

approach,” stated Lilian Medina, ADL

Florida Education Project Director.

“Through this grant, ADL’s No Place for

Hate® anti-bullying and prejudice-

reductions programs will impact over

3,000 students and almost 100 educa-

tors. By targeting specific school feed-

er patterns, our goal is to create a long-

lasting climate change in schools to

ensure the continuity of a positive anti-

bullying environment throughout a

child’s entire school experience.”

Nearly two dozen schools in South

Florida have already fulfilled ADL’s

requirements to become designated as

No Place for Hate® since 2010.

Through the Dr. John T. Macdonald

Foundation, Inc. Grant Award, ten more

schools will qualify to be designated No

Place for Hate® upon fulfilling ADL’s

criteria.

The Dr. John T. Macdonald

Foundation, Inc., is a private grant-mak-

ing foundation, supporting projects and

programs designed to improve, preserve

or restore the health and health care of

the people in Miami-Dade County. For
