Your support of the Campaign for Jewish Needs allows the Jewish Community Federation and its partner agencies to help thousands of people locally and around the world.

Over 80% of Jewish community members are likely to use one of the Federation's social service partner agencies.

Each year, over 1,000 volunteers enrich the lives of those in the general and Jewish communities.

Over 230,000 needy Jewish elderly in the former Soviet Union depend upon the Federation for food, medicine and home care.

A

namaree Samiec values her family, friends and privacy. That’s what made Homewood Residence at Rockefeller Gardens so appealing.

She moved here from Toledo to be near her son who lives in Cleveland Heights. With her boisterous laugh and sunny disposition it didn’t take long for her to settle in with a new circle of friends.

But Annamaree is especially fond of the time she can spend unwinding in her well-appointed apartment, reading her books, studying a crossword puzzle or enjoying the company of Madame Hissy Fits, her cat and constant companion.

For Annamaree, it’s the best of all worlds.

To learn more about Homewood Residence at Rockefeller Gardens, call (216) 321-6331 and schedule a personal tour.

She also recommends spending a few hours at The Medieval Faire, located about 10 miles from Ashtabula Harbor (open on weekends from July 7-Aug. 12).

A unique place to see animals is Rolling Ridge Ranch, near Berlin, Ohio, in Amish country. Riding in a horse-drawn wagon or driving through in your own car, you have the opportunity to feed a variety of animals.

It’s a good place to go with smaller children. The trail is paved, and there’s a wide wooden overlook at the falls where you can watch the

SISTERS Liza and Sadie Grossman slide into the same side of a booth at one of their favorite restaurants, the Siam Café on E.

Liza sums it up: “Every artistic decision I’ve ever made I’ve discussed with my sister.”

40th and St. Clair, halfway between Liza’s Cleveland Heights home and Sadie’s digs in Ohio City. The sisters quickly decide to share a dish and devise their own tofu and bok choy creation that doesn’t actually exist on the menu. The waitress, who remembers them from past visits, smiles knowingly and assures it will all be taken care of.

…

The Grossmans were raised in the Detroit area; Sadie was born when Liza was 12.

“I had asked for (a little sister) for 12 years,” Liza says. “I’ve had a very intense involvement in her life since birth.”

t Liza Grossman conducts the Contemporary Youth Orchestra, which she founded in 1995.

Liza’s Life Liza discovered her musical career path at age 7, when the Detroit Symphony came to her school. The musicians asked for a student volunteer to help “conduct” the orchestra, and Liza was chosen.

“I went home and told my parents I wanted to play the violin,” she recalls.

After graduating from high school in the mid-1980s, Liza attended Cleveland State University (CSU), studying music with a member of The Cleveland Orchestra.

my 20s, so what was my life savings? Five hundred dollars, maybe?”

In its first season, Liza’s Contemporary Youth Orchestra (CYO) consisted of 35 students, mostly kids whom she had taught.

Twelve years later, CYO has a permanent residence at the CSU music school and boasts 120 students ages 12-19. “It’s the first and only orchestra of its kind,” Liza explains. “We only do new music, no classical.”

She describes CYO as “a democracy. Since we’re playing new

Firmly entrenched in Cleveland after college and the founding of CYO, Liza drew the rest of her family to Northeast Ohio bit by bit. The Grossmans’ brother Adam was living with his family in Chicago but wasn’t happy there, so Liza encouraged him to come here. After their father died, their mother Linda also moved to Cleveland to be near her children.

In 2004, Sadie left Los Angeles and came here to live, too. The family enjoys attending monthly Rock My Soul Shabbat services together at The Temple-Tifereth Israel.

“It’s the first time since 1985 we’ve had the whole family in the same place,” Liza notes. “It’s nice.”

“It makes for an instant audience,” Sadie adds.

After moving to Cleveland, Sadie, like her sister, was drawn to teach. She has recently begun running the theater department and designing the K-8 curriculum for a new educational program run by teaching supply company Holcomb’s. She also teaches yoga sun

salutations to all the kids in CYO so that they can warm up together and synchronize their breathing before rehearsals.

Every summer, the Grossman sisters return to Interlochen. They are both on the faculty of the school’s summer arts camp, working with the junior division (grades 3-6). Liza runs the junior strings, and Sadie teaches junior acting.

“We share a cabin on the lake…” Liza says with a smile. “… With our dogs,” Sadie adds.

“Sadie’s probably my closest friend on the planet,” Liza continues. “Not only do we have the time together, we have someone to bounce educational ideas off of.”

“I think we recognize what we have, and it’s rare,” Sadie says.

“As you go through life’s milestones, it’s comforting rather than a hindrance to have a sibling.”

Both sisters take their jobs as teachers of the arts very seriously.

“Being a teacher is the biggest responsibility next to being a parent,” Liza says. “It’s not a responsibility we take lightly. “Every kid I come across has potential.”

“Except that one,” Sadie jokes.

After two interviews and countless cups of coffee, Liza still isn’t sure I fully understand the depth of the two women’s sisterly connection. As she struggles to re-explain, Sadie interrupts.

“We’ve been sisters a long time,” Sadie says with a loud laugh.

“There. Now, let it lie.”L

south african horizons

BORN in Capetown, South Africa, Simone Jowell, above, has been living in Beachwood about a year and a half. On the heels of our frigid winter and late spring storms, she’d rather talk about warm hearts than cold weather.

“There’s a warmth and a cohesiveness about the Jewish community. It’s a comfortable, easy place to live,” she says.

Simone’s husband Mark has family here, so the move was a good one for Jonah, 3 and Danielle, 8 months.

SHOPPING MAVEN asked her to round up some of her “landswomen” to show what real summer style looks like.

curly cuts make waves – get raves by arlene fine photographed by marc golub

Abby Lavin’s curly locks receive the Curly Girl treatment from specially-trained stylist Debbie Hocevar. Most Curly Girl haircuts take one hour.

BEHOLD the latest curls of wisdom! Thanks to cutting-edge technology, curly-headed girls no longer are in dis-tress.

That is welcome news for those of us who still remember stretching our necks and our hair out on our out mother’s ironing boards, hoping the steaming iron would straighten our Medusa-like tresses. This tedious method sometimes resulted in semi-straight hair but always guaranteed perfectly split ends.

The latest curl-cutting guru is Lorraine Massey, whose popular paperback book Curly Girl expertly describes improved methods of caring for curly hair. She guarantees that bad hair days are a thing of the past. (See p. 81.)

“My philosophy is, ‘Blow-dry straight, you’re happy for a day; stay curly, you’re happy for life,’” writes Massey.

3. Gently but generously and evenly distribute conditioner through your curls. Wavy Girls, rinse well; Botticelli Curly Girls, rinse ’til your curls feel right; Corkscrew Curly Girls, rinse for just a second. (Rinse with cold water to “seal” the hair shaft.)

4. Use your towel to “scrunch-dry” your curls, gently scrunching toward your head.

5. Spread a small amount of gel over your palms, and scrunch your curls in an accordion motion. Repeat until all your curls have been scrunched (scrunching the canopy last), but don’t over-gel!

6. Use claw clips to arrange and style your curls, twisting any last curls into place. Then don’t touch your hair while it dries!

(Use a diffuser on the coolest, lowest setting if you must speed the process.)

part of the summer routine. As insects return with the summer’s heat, the danger of contracting diseases from insect bites increases.

“Mosquitoes and ticks are the most common source of disease, so use of insect repellent when in a known area of infestation is of prime importance,” says Wieselthier.

Summer is also a natural time to examine skin for any signs of irregular brown or black moles or pink or red non-healing spots, says Wieselthier. A dermatologist should evaluate any spots that raise concern.

“Early recognition of a potentially serious skin cancer is the cornerstone of treatment,” says Wieselthier. L

THE 5000 square-foot home of Marcy and Dennis Fisher boasts everything from four bedroom-bathroom suites to a home movie theater and an exercise room.

But a decade ago, when making lists of what they wanted in a new house, the Fishers prioritized building a place that, above all, would be a comfortable abode for family and guests.

“We plop down and feel at home,” explains Marcy. “We’re not formal people.”

Nine years ago, Dennis’s brother, Ron Fisher of King-Fisher Builders, constructed the couple’s rustic stone-exterior home nestled on a heavily wooded lot in Solon. It was the first house on the cul-de-sac.

The sylvan setting echoes throughout the house, decorated in earthy tones accented by shades of burgundy and purple. The two-story foyer features oak wainscoting, stone-look ceramic

The Fishers spend most of their time in the spacious kitchen, above, which features a morning room with upholstered seating.

Mitchell Sotka shows what a little rearranging and paring down can accomplish. Shelves flanking the fireplace now have fewer books sharing the space with carefully chosen objets d’art. Two small paintings were hung on the backwall of the bookcases. Green fabric over the windows provides a hint of color and softly filters light. Sotka focuses attention on the mantel using a mirror and proportional decorative pillars and wooden baskets. The couch and end table were moved, creating space for the club chair and ottoman.

Savvy designers also know one of the easiest, and least expensive, ways to change a room’s look is with paint. “Paint can make a big impact in a room,” says Diane Murray, an interior designer and owner of Perspectives. “You can even paint your ceiling the same color as your walls to make a small room seem bigger.”

the write stuff by stephanie garber

IN AN AGE of faxes, e-mail and text messaging, the simple beauty of a handwritten note is enjoying a revival. At the height of e-mail’s popularity, a note sent through the mail was dismissed with a derisive sniff as “snail mail.” Now, however, the tactile has again become the worthwhile.

“Families are no longer close, and they’re not just spread all over the country; they’re all around the world. Everyone is so busy, even talking on the phone has become too time-consuming,” explains Jean Spinosi-Rond, owner of Sobella Paper Boutique. “When you receive a handwritten note, it’s not only a personal touch, it actually represents an investment of someone’s time – and today, that really means a lot.”

In addition to a return to handwritten correspondence, Spinosi-Rond has also seen a couple of entirely new trends. “Customers are buying a nice, general type of note card they can customize with their own sentiment to use

With a plethora of colors, textures, filigree and metallic embellishments, and prints ranging from copies of antique wallpaper to bold geometrics, expressing your thoughts on paper has certainly become a lot more fun.

“Writing paper is not just white or ecru anymore,” notes Doll Bloom, owner of Noteriety. “Envelopes, too, have now become products of your personality.

FROM her living room windows, Kim Ponsky can see the Flats, the bridges over the Cuyahoga and the lake. She has the convenience of modern appliances and the character of 100-year-old hardwood floors. A large, well-appointed fitness center and gourmet grocery are just an elevator ride away. Her Warehouse District neighborhood’s lively urban vibe made it attractive to the 27-yearold professional photographer who returned to her native city a year ago.

Ponsky lives in The Bingham on West Ninth Street. Once the home of the W. Bingham Company, one of Cleveland’s largest hardware manufacturers, the building has undergone an $80 million restoration and conversion to a 340-suite residence. According to the leasing agent, it is 90% occupied and has attracted a diverse group of tenants ranging in age from 21-65.

Like many of the young people who call downtown home, Ponsky spent her early years in leafy suburbs. The Hathaway Brown grad grew up in Hunting Valley and did her undergraduate work at Brandeis. Her first experience with city living was in Chicago while she was attending John Marshall Law School.

“It wasn’t long before I discovered I didn’t want to be a lawyer,” says the vivacious brunette. “I always loved photography, so I interned with a children’s photographer. The experience convinced me it was something I could do forever.”

new lighting freshens décor by lauren e. sable

Ready for a new kitchen table? Thinking about replacing your couches? Try keeping the furniture and giving your lighting a modern twist instead.

Replacing an old chandelier with a modern lighting fixture can make a dramatic change and gives any room a fresh look. The days of brass fixtures are long gone, but today’s decorative fixtures complement modern trends and styles.

Because an established Jewish community already exists in Oxford, we didn’t have to lasso every Jew we met. Instead, we could stroll down to the synagogue for celebrations organized by dedicated groups of people. Committees and committee work never struck us as a blessing until we realized what it means to feel their absence.

Despite an active Jewish community, Oxford cannot sustain a kosher butcher or bakery. We had to order frozen meat from London or Birmingham.

Tour operators have managed to take the most grueling aspects of these tours out of the equation by providing shuttles for the tough uphill portions of the route.

Those who have read Under the Tuscan Sun will be thrilled when their itinerary takes them through the historic hill town of Cortona. Cappuccino lovers will savor a fresh-brewed cup in places like Montefollonico.

A relatively new trend among baby boomers combines enriching experiences with a focus on health and well-being – the “wellness vacation.”

expectations, having researched the procedure through multiple venues, including the internet, other physicians, and often friends who have had similar surgery.”

Some of his standard questions include finding out whether the patient has a history of depression or other psychiatric issues, how long the patient has thought about the surgery, and what the patient would change about his or her appearance. “Ultimately, it boils down to doctor-patient communication,” he concludes.

Dr. Wojtanowski stresses patients need to understand that while a procedure may be cosmetic, it’s still a serious matter. “It’s surgery,” he emphasizes. While the risks are not necessarily life-threatening, surgery still requires down-time and a healing process.

The best reason to undergo surgery is for patients to feel better about themselves, not to assume it will be the answer to all their problems. “After surgery, most teenagers, if selected properly and counseled properly, are thrilled – if they have realistic expectations,” Wojtanowski says.

Miranda fits this profile. While she’s delighted that her clothing fits now that her body is proportionate, she also knows that liposuction can’t give her a model’s body. “I don’t have the perfect stomach,” she says, “but I feel comfortable in what I’m wearing.” L

grams have remained healthier than those in the control group (no cultural arts program).

People who are being creative reported a higher overall rating of physical health, fewer physician visits, less use of over-thecounter and prescription medications, and fewer instances of falls.

In addition, the people in the intervention group also had higher levels of self-esteem and better morale, and were less lonely than the control group.

In short, Cohen concluded, because people in the intervention group are challenged, having fun, and socializing, they maintain better physical, mental and social health.

For the stressed-to-the-point-of-burnout social services and health care industries, [the program] “appears to decrease risk factors that drive people to need and use health care, in-home care, and social services,” Cohen says.

“This is a community and you have generations within a community, so it’s very important that we keep that going here,” says Beth Silver, director of public relations and marketing for Menorah Park Center for Senior Living.

The facility offers a number of ways to make seniors and kids part of each other’s lives. The on-site day-care center at Menorah Park’s Beachwood campus “acts almost as an extended family” for the residents, Silver explains. The day-care children often attend programs with the adult residents where they sing, read and do crafts together.

School-age children also play a big role in the lives of Menorah residents. A variety of programs with Fuchs Mizrachi School, Hebrew Academy, and Gross Schechter Day School bring the residents and the schools’ youth together.

When a class comes to visit the Menorah campus, the two generations will “sing songs, play Chanukah games, and do puzzles,” says Shawn Fink, Judaic program volunteer coordinator at Menorah Park.

Lunch swaps also happen. Students come to eat with the residents, and then the residents meet the students for lunch at the schools.

All these moments of interaction between our seniors and youth only make the bond across generations stronger. “The senior becomes happier … in turn the children develop more positive attitudes toward seniors,” says Palmer. And that’s all good. L

back to school and earned a master’s degree in education from Ursuline College.

“I’ve always enjoyed teaching people new things,” says Malkin. “The idea of becoming a teacher just seemed to make a lot of sense to me.”

But before he enrolled in his first class, Malkin decided to spend some time as a volunteer with the Junior Achievement Program in the Cleveland Municipal School System, and with the nonprofit group E City Cleveland. Malkin uses his business experience to teach young adults the basic tenets of entrepreneurship and to test his mettle in front of students.

“My volunteer experience taught me that I really did enjoy working with young people,” Malkin says. “At that point, I was sure teaching was the right career for me.”

After graduation, Malkin was hired by University School, where he teaches mathematics and business. He hasn’t quite been able to shake his past as an entrepreneur, so he’s passing on his knowledge to his students by teaching them the skills they need to succeed in today’s business world. Malkin founded the Entrepreneur Institute at University School, which offers classes, guest speakers, and a business plan competition for students.

The art of Hart …

Architect, artist, activist are the three As that describe the colorful, multidimensional Philmore Hart. His latest architectural project is the recently dedicated Monarch School on the Bellefaire JCB campus. Octogenarian Hart, an architect for the past 53 years, selected the site for Monarch School on the very grounds where, years before, he had remodeled the residential building into a schoolhouse for autistic children. That experience gave him an intuitive feeling for the type of environment that would be supportive and conducive for teaching autistic children, he explained.

Hart is currently involved in remodeling Citizens Academy, the nonprofit charter school housed at The Temple-Tifereth Israel in University Circle.

Hart’s obsession is the “art of photography,” especially nature photography. An active member of the Photo Club at The Nature Center at Shaker Lakes, he’s garnered great reviews for his two most recent one-man photography shows. One was at Tommy’s restaurant on Coventry Road; the other, at Tri-C’s Eastern Campus, showcasing intriguing photos of seniors at work and play.

One of his most talked-about works is a photograph of Ben Yehuda Street in Jerusalem, with a sketch of himself juxtaposed in the photograph. It’s his signature touch – putting his alter-ego into photographs of interesting places he has visited around the world.

Troubadour around town …

ficulty living in her own home, the only option apart from staying with family members was a nursing home. Not so today.

“Now, there is a growth in the number of alternatives available,” explains Marc Benson, president and CEO of Hamlet Village Retirement Community in Chagrin Falls, Ohio’s first large nondenominational facility.

The shift began in the 1990s when the senior healthcare industry saw an explosion in the construction of stand-alone assisted-living facilities. These residences offered housing for people who wanted social interaction and didn’t need much medical attention.

Weils resident Rhoda Roth, top, with her dog Rosie, enjoys schmoozing with friends John Buckley, left, and Arthur Land. Above, Daniel Solomon enjoys taking care of his pet birds.

Many seniors realize that while they don’t need much care now, they will use rehabilitation or nursing services at some point in their lives.

advantage of not only everything the retirement community has to offer, but cultural events and classes at the nearby college.

At Stone Gardens, residents have full access to the state-of-theart computer lab at Menorah Park, explains Ross Wilkoff, Stone Gardens administrator. “Here, residents can receive intensive instruction from computer basics to more advanced classes.”

Other offerings include a Second Wind Dreams Program.

Residents are encouraged to return to an activity they once enjoyed or take up one they never considered. Thanks to the program, many residents have traveled, ridden horses, or gone on bike rides (with safe three-wheeled bikes). “There’s nothing like seeing a 90-year-old ride a bike,” says Wilkoff.

There’s plenty of room in her suite for Weils resident Lila Held to indulge her love of painting.

Despite the amenities and options offered by independent and assisted-living facilities, some seniors still feel better in their own homes.

The trend is for seniors to move into continuing-care communities that offer independent and assisted-living services.

The Visiting Nurse Association (VNA) offers services to help people stay in their own homes. In addition to being seen by their own healthcare professionals, VNA patients also receive free Telcare service, a tele-monitoring system that tracks vitals like blood pressure and temperature 24 hours a day. The service can reduce hospital stays and anxiety, according to Diane Gallagher,

retired, we began in earnest to see the world. I made up the guidelines for travel (Jack calls my mishegas “Rae’s Rules”), and we’ve pretty much stuck by them. We believe you need four days to know a single destination, and that is what we strive to do. It takes three days to sightsee and one day to “walk the streets.”
