There's one difference among Porsche and Audi dealerships. It's Fred.

It's the difference between involvement and commitment. While other dealers are involved in selling these automobiles, Fred Baker has been fully committed to carefully matching people with Porsche and Audi vehicles for decades. And he uses his experience as a renowned racecar driver to help customers fully appreciate these remarkable, high performance machines.

If you're even considering the purchase or lease of a Porsche or Audi, you owe it to yourself to speak with Fred before you make a decision. He and his staff will be happy to introduce you to the enormous selection at Fred Baker Porsche Audi, the dealership's factory-certified service professionals, and a whole new way to experience automotive excellence.

In 2007, Fred Baker became the only Cleveland-area car dealer to ever have been honored with a Pillar Award for community service. And he brings that same level of commitment to every customer who visits his dealership.

Experience the difference, at Fred Baker Porsche Audi.

The group retreats into the back room to relax for a few moments before the Purim Ball begins. Sitting in a circle “sixthgrade style,” with the dads on one side of the room and daughters on another, one father suggests learning one more dance during the down time. He is met with groans and insults.

Before lining up to begin the ceremony, daughters remind dads to “button up your jacket” and ask, “Are you nervous?”

Once the ceremony begins, it is smooth sailing. While being “presented,” each girl walks out with a big grin on her face. The families of each girl are given tables right next to the dance floor, and the girls’ (biological) mothers are given front row seats.

After the final Queen Esther debuts, the entire group begins the traditional dances, gliding through the intricate steps with the ease of professionals. Nerves melt away into pure enjoyment as the group links hands to dance in a circle, raising their arms and yelling, “Opa!” At the conclusion of the traditional portion of the evening, the girls dance in a circle with roses. They approach their mothers, give each a rose and head back to the front of the room.

With everyone in position, the band strikes up “Signed,

ISRAEL will mark its 60th birthday with a mixture of solemnity and festivity, notes Gilon Levert, a 30-year-old Israeli. “Obviously, there’s a lot of tension in Israel right now,” he says. “We have the constant threat with Iran and of course, the Hamas guys and Hezbollah guys. At 60, we’re thinking, ‘Okay, how long can we go on this way? What will things be like for our children?

Our grandchildren?’

“On the other hand,” Levert continues, “Israel’s 60th birthday is a time when Israelis will say, ‘You know what? We live one day at a time, and we’ve made it another year!’ It’s kind of a curse being Jewish, but you get on with it, and you celebrate, and you have barbecues.”

The elegant dining room is bathed in light .

THE three-story, center-hall Queen Ann Victorian stands proudly amidst mature trees on a wide Cleveland Heights street, an impressive monument of a bygone era. With its brown wood siding, cream-colored gingerbread trim, and expansive front porch, the house has a lot of “curb appeal.”

The striking house came on the market in 2001, soon after Doug Katz opened his Shaker Square bistro, fire food & drink. He and his wife Karen were living nearby, and out of curiosity, they went to the realtor’s open house. Impressed with the home’s rich detailing, the couple made an offer, which the owner rejected. But after the house sat unsold for six more months, he was ready to negotiate. In the fall of 2002, the Katzes moved in.

Doug says he always liked the history and craftsmanship of historic homes, but Karen calls herself a “closet” old-house lover, admitting she “never pictured myself living in one.”

For Doug, part of the delight of owning the home has been researching its history: It was built on a double lot in 1904 by architect Rollin Hubby for Rufas P. Ranney, who was involved in real estate and shipbuilding. He lived in the eight-bedroom home with his wife Cornelia and their four children. After Rufas ran off to California, Cornelia was forced to sell off the extra lot and, in 1915, to move to a smaller house. There have been more than a Among the home’s many charms is the gracefully curved main staircase.

Although the house was in good condition when the Katzes moved in, they hastened to air-condition it and renovate the master bathroom.

A previous owner had destroyed the porch’s original herringbone brick floor and replaced its brick and stone half-wall with wrought iron railing, but the Katzes recently restored this area to its former grandeur. Lighting was added to facilitate warm-weather entertaining.

Triangular glass lights frame the Agam, left, that the couple found on a trip to Israel. The Murf painting above features triangles painted onto the glass of the frame.

INSPIRATION struck Ferne and Norm Barr during a trip to Israel in April 2000.

“We found this Agam,” says Ferne, pointing to an eye-catching piece of artwork by Israeli artist Yaacov Agam that greets visitors to the 3,200-square-foot Orange Village condominium. “It’s like molecules. We knew we wanted something that grabs you, so we shipped it home, framed. When you walk back and forth, it (the image) changes.”

Captivated by the piece, the couple asked Nancy Benjamin, ASID, to design their condo’s décor around it. In response, Benjamin created green glass shelves and triangular lights that frame the Agam, which appears to float on the soft beige wall.

Art collected during their travels, contemporary lighting, oneof-a-kind furnishings, and angular patterns create a certain ambience in the Barrs’ inviting home.

Three-dimensional layered acrylic was the first work by Murf that the Barrs added to their collection.

Sleek sophistication reigns in the combined dining and living rooms. The dining table’s contemporary glass base mimics the “floating” glass shelves below the Agam.

“Very subtly, Judaica is important to us,” says Ferne. The couple are co-chairs of Temple Emanu El’s capital campaign.

Pieces in the collection, spread throughout their home, include a Jeffrey Johnson featuring a chai, mezuzah and Star of David, and six Marvin “Murf” Murphy works.

“He’s our most prominent artist throughout the house,” Norm explains.

parenting on the fly by erik fisher, ph.d.

AHHH, the joys of air travel.

Flying can be a time to catch up on work or sleep, begin the party, read, or watch some movies. But what about for those traveling with kids?

Before I had kids, I admit I would often see a parent with kids and pray they weren’t going to sit near me.

Most parents know many air travelers feel a sense of dread when they see infants and young children board a plane. So, par-

• Prepare your kids for the flight. Talk about air travel with your kids and what they should expect days in advance. Point out pictures of planes in books, on television, or in movies. Let them know where their destination is and what they will be doing there. When they know what to expect, children often adapt quicker.

cukes or pickles? Green or red chopped onions? Or, the works?

To top it off, Igal offers measured dollops of either red hot pepper sauce or bright yellow pickled mango Indian amba (a spicy relish) – or both. Who could resist? When the pitas have blossomed into a meal-and-a-half, he wraps them in tissue paper and presents his creations to his hungry fans. “Beware,” he quips, “they’re addictive.” And indeed, each mouthful offers surprises, a kaleidoscope of flavors.

Igal’s customers, a colorful mix of students, locals, truck drivers, soldiers, and lucky passersby, drift in and out all hours of the day. Some strike up conversations. Some savor sabichs while engrossed in front-page news or sports results. Others, barely pausing as they pass through, dig in as they take their leave.

Many are return customers. A well-dressed woman, after ordering her portion, leans forward with a smile. “Remember me? I ate here twice but never paid.” She pays up, then drops a few shekels tip into the jelly jar glass on the countertop.

In a brief moment when the kiosk has emptied out, Igal rushes out to round up change. Good thing. On his return, flocks of hungry people are waiting in line.

When asked how many sabichs he serves a day, Igal, in typical Middle Eastern fashion, is evasive. “As many as I can,” he demurs, unwilling to press his luck.

Drivers will enjoy the C300 Sport’s responsive steering and smooth handling.

THE Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan (MSRP: $31,600 - $36,900) has been completely redesigned for 2008. The German car manufacturer aimed to improve the vehicle’s handling, ride comfort and interior size. As a whole, the newly crafted C-Class hits most of its marks.

The C300 Sport boasts responsive steering, stable handling, and a smooth ride quality during residential and freeway driving. Basic suspension design is the same as the previous model, but the components are lighter, allowing the vehicle to maintain its stability at higher speeds.

Mercedes-Benz carried over last year’s V6 engine and again offers all-wheel drive. All 2008 C300 models are powered by a 3.0liter V6 that produces 228 hp and 221 lb.-ft. of torque. A sevenspeed automatic is standard on the C300 Luxury and optional on the C300 Sport, which comes with a six-speed manual. Mercedes estimates a 0-60-mph time of around seven seconds. All C-Class models come standard with rear-wheel drive except for the C300 4Matics, which are all-wheel-drive.

The sedan’s carryover engine is not quite up to the power levels of its competitors. Shifting up and nudging the gas does not always elicit the powerful response you would expect from a model with CLEVELAND JEWISH NEWS

The synagogue is renowned for its beauty, unique features and stately interior. The sand floor is reminiscent of the Spanish Inquisition, when Jews who chose to practice their religion had to do so in secret, meeting in cellars with a sand floor to muffle the sound. Legend also notes that the sand floor is symbolic of the Jews wandering through the desert for 40 years.

Rabbi Arthur Starr, full-time rabbi since 2002, regularly gives tours of the synagogue. On the morning of our interview, he had already taken 150 people through the building, relating the history of the island’s Jewish community and of the synagogue.
