Omaha women participate regiona lly, nationally On national board

I

Anne Broder has been appointed to sit on the UJA National Women's Division Board and as such, she will also serve on the UJA Midwest Regional Board. The position involves two national meetings a year and Mrs. Broder will serve as a liaison for a federated community _^, ii^y .. w .;« smaller than Omaha. Hfci '^r 'P'.lB "I am thrilled to represent Omaha on the national board," said Mrs. Broder. "We are categorized by UJA as an intermediate sizecity, but we do so much more than many large communities." Speaking about the women on the national board. Mrs. Broder said, "I am honored to be serving with these women, many of whom I met on missions to Israel. They are hard workers, very bright, and totally dedicated to Women's Division, UJA and Israel. "An example of that commitment came during the Gulf War. At that time, these women answered the call of UJA and went to Israel when few other Americans were going. They could not stay home because they knew they were needed there to help and to show support. Mrs. Broder added that many of the women on the board have been involved for many years, and some have worked their way up from Young Leadership positions. They have developed important contacts in the government and busineas communities and the work they do makes a real difference in their communities, in Jewish communities nationwide, and in Israel. Mrs. Broder also serves on the board of the Jewish Federation of Omaha, is the local missions program chairman, and serves on the Women's Division Campaign Cabinet.

Another leader resigns By Larry Yudelson NEW YORK (JTA) — A vice president of the American Israel Public AiTairs Committee has been forced to resign after calling Israel's deputy foreign minister a "slimeball." Harvey Friedman, a Florida businessman, was forced to step down from the post after his slur against Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Yossi Beilin was published in The Washington Jewish Week. The incident ii the latest of a series of embarrassments for the influential pro-brael lobby. It oonrtes me ,on the heels of the June 28 resignation of Thomas line, AIPAC's widely respected executive director, ..ho agreed to step down af^r making remarks about Orthodox Jews that were seen as derogatory. It also highlights what some have seen as a distinct reluctance by some American Jewish oommuaal leaders to accept the present Israeli government's policies on the peace process, specifically its willingness to exchange land for peace. I The controversy surrounding Friedman's remarks 'began last month, when he accompanied three members of the U.S. Congraes on a visit to Israel. During the trip, Friedman accused Prims MinisUr YiUhak Rabin of "chuUpah." The story, as reported widely in the Israeli preas, based on sources dose to Beilin, was that Friedman ^h*d spoken out against any poUntlal territorial oonFoMsions planned by Rabin in the course of the peace Ulks. 'Where does Rabin gat the chutspah to give up [terrilory?" Friedman was quoted as saying. The Israeli government lodged a formal protest with AIPAC, which as a rule does not Uke posiUons on braell government polidae.

Study of allegations By Cynthia Mann and Michele Chabin JERUSALEM (JTA) — The annual Assembly of the Jewish Agency for Israel concluded last week without directly addressing the most prominent issue on everyone's lips: the alleged financial wrongdoings of its chairman, Simcha Dinitz. But the body's smaller and more influential Board of Governors approved a measure calling for a study of the allegations by a legal expert and the monitoring of the impact of the allegationB on the agency's fund-raising campaigns and operations. Three American delegates had placed on the' Assembly's agenda a resolution calling for Ehnitz to Uke an immediate leave of absence. But the delegates — Leonard Bebchick. Steven Fain and Sara Sanditen — were persuaded by the chairman of the Board of Governors, Mendel Kaplan, to withdraw the resolution. The allegations against Dinilx, which include the improper use of Jewish Agency credit cards to purchase thousands of dollara of personal itertis. are the subject of a police investigation, requested by Knsaset members. Kaplan has been under pressure by Aaiembly membsn to take action on the matter, especially in the wake of a detailed expose on the case that appeared June 3S in (he Jerusalem Poet The Board of Governors resolution calls for a senior advisory group assembled by Kaplan to monitor th* impact of the allegations on community l\indralfing efTorts and to provide weekly reports to Kaplan.

PARKER HEATING COOLINQ, INC.

& .,.,_

By Rabbi Myer S. Kripke ParaahcU Pi'n'hat The Prophet itnd the Planet Our Shabbat (urns aside from the designated Haflarah to the first of the three special Haflarot before Tisha B'Av. It is the first chapter of Jeremiah. Jeremiah sees himself as a moral-political mentor for i much more than Judah alone: "See, I appoint you this day over nations and kingdoms: to uproot and to pull down, to destroy and to overthrow ... to build and to plant" ' It is an astonishing role for little Judah to take on itself, and itls astonishing for Jeremiah to see himself appointed, as it were, the Secretary General of the United Nations. But we miss the point if we do not understand this: the prophets saw themselves as God's instructors not only for Israel and Judah, but for all the surrounding nations as well. The Midrash (Pesikta dRav Koharta), quoting a verse from Zechariah, sees the prophetic message to be per- i manent, everlasting. Moses, to be sure, is dead. But his teaching is for all mankind and for all generations. So too, the Midrash continues, the superscription "The wor'ds of Jeremiah" at the openinK|of his book imply that Jeremiah's words too are for all mankind and for all generations. If we were to extrapolate all of this to our own times, we would be pressing the point not too far to say that what happens to the State of Israel is central to the future of mankind. Israel's present political isolation (the USA excepted) testifies to the poverty of world-wide political thinking and to the cynicism of the international political process. The political clout of the Arab world is dependent only on the world's dependence on oil. Were it not for oil, the Arab nations' violent hatred of Israel, the boycott, the political intrigues would all be absurd on the surface. Were it not for the business of business, China's imashamed and constant human rights abuses would put China in a special class. But business is business, and China can be recognized as a Most Favored Nation by the United States. There are innumerable other examples. Jeremiah would have condemned all of this, and he would have been right. But just as the people of Judah in his own day gave him only hostile attention, so loo the people of our. day would cynically judge him a crackpot. If it is hard to be a Jew, it is harder, was harder, to be a prophet. It is depressing to see the mounting violence in our world, domestic and international. Jeremiah's task, and ours, and Israel's, is to condemn and "to uproot and to pull down," so that mankind may "build and plant."

Perpetual endowment establishes one's legacy By Sheldon Bernstein, Federation Foundation Each year when you contribute to the Federation Campaign, you assume the lights at the Jewish Community Center will turn on, the elderly will be cared for in the Rose Blumkin Jewish Home, our children will be educated, and our teenagers will be encouraged to develop their Jewish identity. You also assume you are helping to ensure a safe and viable state of Israel. But for how long can we assume that the Federation Campaign will keep up with inflation and the rising cost of needs? Your gift helps meet current needs. But what about the future of our Jewish community? Who will furnish your vital gift when you can no longer write a check? The Foundation of the Jewish Federation is continually preparing for the future. The Perpetual Annual Campaign Endowment (PACE) allows you to create a perpetual endowment to fund your Federation gift so that it can remain a legacy for our community in your name or the name of your family. Why should you perpetuate your campaign gift? PACE ensures the. viabiift'y and strength of the Campaign in times of economic recession or changes in the demographics of our local community. The existence of permanent funds enables us to plan for the future NOW. PACE will help future generations meet new and changing needs or emergency challenges. There are two ways to create a PACE Fund. During your lifetime: You can create a fund in your name or in the name of a loved one. You can transfer cash, private or publicly held stock, or property to the fund. All funds held in this manner are invested by The Foundation and p-.-'v a favorable rate of return on a yearly basis. The income from the fund will be paid to the Campaign in your name beyond your lifetime in perpetuity, thereby assuring that the philanthropic tradition you began will continue to make dreams come true. By will or trust: You can create a fund as part of your estate planning. There are various methods to contribute by will and trust, including an outright bequest. Properly structured, a testamentary fund could help reduce your estate taxes.. But without a will or provision in a trust to provide for the institutions you generously supported during your lifetime, your financial support of Jewish survival cannot continue. Your PACE Fund should be of sufficient size to enable the income from the fund to perpetuate your Campaign gift. Please feel free to call me at (402) 334-8200 to discuss the planning aspects of a PACE Fund. There is no cost or obligation. All inquiries will be held in strict confidence. As I have staled previously, you need not be wealthy to establish a fund through The Foundation. There are aflbrdable plans to fit virtually everyone's economic and philanthropic goals.

Basketball — an international language! ByMikePIatt During the Omaha community mission to Israel last May, we visited an Ethiopian absorption center where we had lunch with "the children. Although most of us could not talk with them because we didn't speak Hebrew an'd they knew very little English, we could feel the warmth they had for us. After lunch, I went outside and kicked a soccer ball around with some of the kids. I noticed one boy wearing a Houston Rockets sweatshirt. He only spoke 8 to 10 words of English, but I pointed to his shirt and said, "Olsyuwon." (Hakeem Oltguwon is a player on the Houston Rockets basketball team.) His face lit up — he knew who I was talking about. , I took a stick and drew a map in the sand andpointed to Houston's location and repeated the name, Oltguwon. Then I pointed to Chicago and said, TMichael Jordan." Again, it was clear from his grin that we were speaking the same language.

^

When I pointed to Loa Angeles and said, 'Michael Jackson," this Ethiopian boy fell in love with me he didn't want me to leave! We take so much for granted. I've seen Michael Jordan play basketball in person. When I reflect on where these kids come from, it's all like a dream. They have overcome tremendous hardships and are building a new life in Israel. Meeting them was a very moving, overwhelming experience. During those ten days in Israel, we had many very moving experiences. I never cried so much. I only wish my parents could have had the opportunity to experience what my wife and I did, primarily because of our Russian Jewish descent. One of my children has been there, and I will make it a point that the rest of my children visit Israel. . f.i=r.;r ,-

Have a select external breast forms the new guidelines issued regarding early detection of stiff neck or stioulder? Massage therapy could help you, said Scott Kotzen, 37, a licensed massage therapist and manager of the massage center at the Yf^CA in downtown Omaha. Omahans who enjoy Scott Kotzen regular massages from Kotzen include the athletes of the Omaha Racers basketball team and many jockeys at Ak-Sar-Ben. Regular massages helped the Racers capture the 1992 Continental Basketball Associatbn championship, said trainer Steve Ronspies. "At this level of competition, the athletic talent of players is so close that the difference between winning and losing is often a small one," he said in a Racers game program. 'Massage provides one of those differences." According to Kotzen, massage helps to relieve pains and stiffness, improves circulation and posture, relaxes tension in muscles and nerves and enhances overall well-being. , He said many businesspeople come to the YMCA for lunchtime massages. Kotzen, like many massage therapists, also makes home calls to massage people who have difficulty leaving their homes.

Chronic hoarseness A group of surgeries called thyroplasty offers relfef to people who prevnusly have had to adjgst to chronic hoarseness due to vocal cord paralysis. This operation tunes your vocal cords by adjusting their tension or position. The Nebraska Medical Association reports that some voice changes can signal disorders such as vocal cord polyps of the onset of carKer or other diseases, so it is important to identify the source of the problem.

prostrate cancer.The guidelines are published by the American Cancer Society and were revised in November of 1992. The American Cancer Society recommends that yearly screening Include an annual digital rectal examination and a blood test for prostrate specific antigen (PSA). They recommend that the blood testing begin by age 50 for most men, but earlier for African-Americans or sons of men with prostrate cancer.

"Fruit and hypertension?" Eating several pieces of fruit daily may help to prevent hypertension according to a recently published paper from the Han/ard School of Public Health. Fiber from fruits seems to be more beneficial than that from vegetables or cereals as shown by a study of 31,000 men.

Nails and your health . What are fingernails and toenails? They are a trorny extension of your skin, made up of a protein called keratin. This protein contains sulfur, which makes the nails hard and rigid. Nails protect the tips of our fingers and toes from injury, tielp you grasp small objects, allow you to perform delicate mechanical work and reflect our state of health.

Dog and cat bites Although rabies is the best known disease carried by domestic animals, it is rare in pets and humans. Other forms of infection nxire commonly result from pet bites. The Nebraska Medical Association recommends prompt and thorough washing of bites with soap and water to prevent infection. If you should sustain a serious bite from an animal, seek medical attention immediately.

(Media calls attention to implants, reconstruction) Eighty percent of women who undergo 80 per cent mgsectomies choose extemal breast forms after who undergo surgery, rather than breast masectomies implants or reconstructive surgery. •» f choose external Their choices are based forms in part on recent media aflention on the dangers of breast implants and reconstruction, according to Ann Daley, owner of Body Boutique at 8601 West Dodge Rd. f^s. Daley said choosing to wear an external breast form does not mean that a woman must settle for second best. "Losing a breast is no reason for a woman to give up her right to be an intelligent and selective customer," Ms. Daley said. "Because a woman will wear a breast form every day, she not only owes it to herself to be well-informed at)out her options, but she owes it to herself to take advantage of the chok:es available in modern breast forms." According to Ms. Daley, breast forms are made of silicone. A new line of breast forms that use adhesive to stick directly to the skin, as opposed to the traditional forms which are worn inside brassieres, offers women greater freedom to wear all styles of clothing. Body Boutique is on the American Cancer Society's list of approved retailers of breast prostheses and offers cerlified fitters to help women choose the appropriate breast form.

Surgeons at Israel's HadassahHebrew University Medical Center In Jerusalem are rediscovering the t>enetits of using leeches on surgery patients. "We've discovered that the leech doesnl only draw out blood, it also spits an anticoagulant into the wound it makes," said Dr Amiram EkJor, a hematologist at Hadassah Hospital. Anticoagulants prevent blood from clotting. Leeches' saliva "contains a veritable pharmacopia of different drugs," Dr. Elder said. . The surgeons are using leeches to '1idy up" after surgery, he said. In one case, plastic surgeons applied leeches after stitching back on an ear tfiat was virtually severed in a car accident. "The ear was purple with engorged blood," Dr Eldor said. "Unless we could decongest it, she would lose the ear." Leeches were attached to the woman's ear daily for four days. They fed for about 20 minutes, then drop off, sated. The leechb'ite then bleeds for 24 hours.

The inherited genetic disorder called Gaucher disease occurs nrost often in descendents of Jewish people from Eastern Europe. In tact, according to the National Gaucher Foundatton (NGF), the disease is the most common genetic disorder among Ashkenazi Jews. It occurs in about one of 400 Ashkenazi Jews. Symptoms of Gaucher disease include enlarged spleen and/or liver, anemia, bone pain, a tendency to bleed excessively (for example, nosebleeds) and' fatigue. Technically a lipid-storage disorder, Gaucher disease is caused by the deficiency of the enzyme glucocerebrosiadase. It is named for Dr. Philippe C. E. Gaucher, who described the symptoms in 1882 in France. Symptoms of Gaucher disease usually emerge during childhood, but some people with the disease never develop symptoms, according to the NGF Gaucher disease is diagnosed through blood tests. It is treated with enzymereplacement therapy.

Treatinent for headaches Some headaches are so t)ad that they deserve the attention of a doctor, according to the National Headache Foundation. People should consult a doctor when headaches: * are sudden and severe; * affect only one side of the head; ' accompany pain in the ear or eye; ' accompany nausea, vomiting, fever or stiff neck; * interfere with nomial functtaning..

Bald men and heart disease Men who lose their hair quickly are twice as likely to devekip heart disease, according to a University of Texas Medical School study cited by the Nebraska Medical Association (NMA). Speed of hair loss specifically is Indicative of potential heart disease, the NMA sakj.

There are a lifetime of reasons to need a doctor... Rising health care costs ' Many Americans believe that they have no direct role in the fight against skyrocketing health care costs. The truth is that every person can niake a difference. The American Medical Association says biilkjns of dollars are spent annually to treat avoidable illnesses resulting from tobacco and alcohol use, drug abuse and violence. Each year, 500,000 premature deaths in the U.S. and $85 billbn in expenditures are directly attributable to cigarette smoking and other tobacco use. Eliminating unhealthy habits from your lifestyle ~ srrwking and excessive drinking for example--will help in cutting unneccassary medical costs.

Hives mean allergies You may not know why you get hives, but you know it when you have them. Though they look like large mosquito bites, hives itch, sting and burn in a fashion all their own. According to the Nebraska Medical Association, hives signify that an allergic reaction is going on somewhere in the body. Technically called urticaria, hives may occur when, a chemical called histamine comes into contact with the skin. Typical causes of hiives are allergy-causing foods duch as strawt)erries, nuts, chocolate, fish, milk, eggs, oranges, and bananas and drugs such as aspirin.

Tips for protecting Skin Playing in the sun is fun, but it's also dangerous. Too much exposure to the sun can cause sunburn and even skin cancer. Operation Bridge recommends four tips for protecting skin; 1. Cover up. Wear a wkle-brimmed hat and choose ksng shirts and pants in cool fabrics. 2. Use'sunscreen. Select a sun protective factor (SPF) of 15 or higher. Apply sunscreen at least an hour tiefore going into the sun, and again after swimming or perspiring. 3. Know the sun's powers. The sun is strongest between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Clouds can't protect you from damaging rays; neither can water. The sun's rays can penetrate up to three feet jof water In high altitudes, the sun is even stronger because there is less atmosphere to filter ultraviolet rays. 4. Keep an eye on your skin. Check your skin monthly for moles, blemishes or birth marks. If you notice any changes In size, shape or cotor, contact a physician.

Braces may be necessary The most common signs that a child will need braces are crowded or misplaced teeth, protuding teeth, jaws that shift or make sounds and thumb-sucking or other oral habits. Other comnfKjn waming signs include difficulty in chewing or biting, early or late loss of teeth, mouth breathing, facial imbalance and grinding or clenching of the teeth, according to the American Associatbn of Orthodontcs.

Sags, jowls and deep wrinkles can make people look much older than they feel. Facelifts can help counter the effects of time. They can also delay the appearance of further aging. Acceding to Dr Steven Denenberg, a plastic surgeon, facelifts "are not just for movie stars." "Caring about one's physical appearance is not a prerogative of the young," he said. "Improving the appearance of the face can enhance self-esteem." Dr. Denenberg said aging ftflen causes excess skin to settle on the neck and in the jowls. During a facelift, a surgeon pulls back extra skin under the neck and puts it back on the cheek, where it used to be. Dr. Denenberg said. Surgeons also tighten skin along the jawline to remove jowls. Another procedure that can rejuvenate the face is the chin implant. "A weeik chin can accentuate signs of aging in the neck," Dr. Denenberg said. Certain signs of aging can't be reversed through facelift surgery, he said. They include "laugh lines," the lines from the nose to the comers of the mouth. Laugh lines may be improved, but not eliminated. Small vertical wrinkles around the mouth also can't be helped with a facelift, though a chemical peel can lessen them. Most facelifts are performed on people in their forties, fifties and sixties, Dr. Denenberg said. Younger people who opt to undergo facelifts may be able to delay the signs of aging, he said. Facelifts are performed using local anesthesia. No hospitalization is necessary, Dr Denenberg said.

While millions of Americans rely every day on prescription medicines to feel better and get well, studies siTow ttiat some patients will still end up sick or hospitalized because they don't understand of follow medication instructions. To address this problem, which has been reported to cost billions of dollars annually in preventable illness, the federal government has enacted legislation requiring pharmacists to advise Medicaid patients about all new and renewal medication prescriptions. But it is important for all patients, not just those using Medicaid, to take the time to talk with a pharmacist about medication. That's why 23 states currently require phamiacists to consult with every patient about every prescription. More states are considering such legislation. Whether or not a specific state requires patient counseling by pharmacists, a patient can make medicatbn use safer and more cost-effective by insisting on full informatk>n from the pharmacist each time a prescription is filled. A few simple questions will help. What is the name of the drug and what is It supposed to do? How and when do I take the medication and for how long? What foods, drinks, or other medicines, or activities should I avoid while taking this medicine? Are there any side effects, dnd what do I do if they occur? Is there any written information available about the drug? In addition, if the prescription is a refill, patients shoukJ open the bottle and make sure the medication kx)ks like it did the last time it was filled. Patients must^ be alert and ask questtons about medication. "Today's pharmacists are faking a greater role in helping patients make the best use of their medication," says Joseph A. Oddis, executive vice president of the American Society, of Hospital Pharmacists. "Pharmacists are medication-use experts, trained to counsel patients".

Home care nurses, aides can help older adults with day-to-day tasks "Older adults who need help wHh day-to-day tasks such as t)athlng, eating, taking medlcatbns or dressing may find the assistance they need through home-care nurses and aides. Even more complex services, such as medical care, can be provided on a home-care basis, according to Gary Glissman, administrator at Interim HealthCare. Interim Health Care aids elderly Betvi/een 150 and 200 elderly Omahans are cared for by nurses and aides from Interim HealthCare, Glissman said. While a few nurses live In patients' homes to provide round-the-clock care, a majority spend an average of six hours a day with their patient. Nurses and aides can be contracted for short-term or long-term health care. According to Glissman, home care Is a smart option. "Most people prefer to be in their own homes, rather than In hospitals or nursing homes," he said. Today, many illnesses can be safely treated in the home environment."

Glass lenses A growing number of Americans are avoiding some glaring errors when selecting lenses for their sunglasses by ctx)osing real glass and photochromic glass lenses. Eye care experts report that glass lenses actually absorb up to 85 percent of sunlight while preventing glare and blocking out potentially dangerous ultraviolet and Infrared rays. Plastic-type lenses may reduce some glare but cannot match real glass sunglass lenses.

Americans who are over 50 years of age and have had chickenpox -- which is almost everyone - may be vulnerable to shingles. The older you get, the more likely you are to have a severe case. This painful condition affects an estimated 300,000 people each year. Although younger people do experience shingles, the older you get, the more likely you are to have a severe case. Shingles; also called herpes zoster, is caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox.

Dermatology can help acne, minimize teens' frustration

For many teens, acne is emban'assing and frustrat• ing. Determined use of over-the-counter acne lotions and television-advertised solutions often doesn't solve the problem. What else can help? Visiting a dermatologist, according to Dr. Joel Schlessinger.

"Jennifer found a cure" Dr Schlessinger said a client named "Jennifer," a high school senior whose acne and scarred skin left her lacking self- confidence, found a cure through prescription drugs, use of acne-sensitive cosmetics and use of liquid nitrogen directly on the acne-pron e areas. Over the course of a \e\N weeks, "Jennifer's" acne gradually disappeared, Dr. Schlessinger said. "She concluded her senior year with more self-confidence and a much-improved personal view of her body image," he said. "As a dermatologist and person who cares, this is the kind of story I enjoy," he said, "especially since many patients say that with a better complexion, they feel better about themselves."

Skin cancer is preventable through wise behavior in the sun. But even people who spend a tot of time outdoors can guard against cancer by performing monthly screenings of their own skin. "Skin cancer screenings are a very smart idea," said Dr. Ben C. Frichot III, a dermatologist. Dr. Frichot said there were 500,000 new cases of skin cancer nationwide this year. Monthly self-exam suggested A monthly self-exam shoukj consist of checking the face, arms and hands for skin growths that have increased in size, birthmaiks or beauty marks that have changed in color, size or texture, spots or growths that itch, crust or bleed, or open sores that do not heal. Dermatologist Dr. Stephen C. Papenfuss warns that skin cancers may at first appear innocuous. "In its early stage, skin cancer does not look threatening," he said. "The most dangerous kind of skin can: cer, malignant melanoma, starts off as a mole or in a mole." During warm nwnths, people should wear protective clothing, use sunscreen of at least 15 SPF, avoid tanning parlors and stay out of the sun between 10 a.m* and 2 p.m., advises dermatologist Dr. John R. Luckasen.

On a hot, humid Omaha evening, nothing tastes better than a cold, creamy chocolate cone. To be caloriewise, make sure that cone's filled with yogurt rather than ice cream. Frozen yogurt has 32 percent fewer calories than ice cream, according to a study done by "I Can't Believe It's Yogurt." It's also tow-fat (non-fat yogurt is available too) and high in protein. Yogurt is a dairy product made by adding live bacteria cultures to homogenized, pasteurized milk. The cultures used are lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus. Frozen yogurt differs from the yogurt soW in cups in the dairy section of a supermarket because of different processes used to culture the milk. While custard-style yogurt, with fruit on the bottom or blended in, has a tart taste, frozen yogurt rarely does. The process used to make frozen yogurt renders some bacteria cultures donnant and creates a milder-tasting type of yogurt. Frozen yogurt is made frorp a frozen, pre-made mix. "I Can't Beliejje It's Yogurt" stores receive mix from corporate kitchens. When ttie mix arrives at the franchise, it is refrigerated to thaw, then poured into a soft-serve machine, where air is whipped into it. The machine stores the whipped yogurt at 18 to 20 degrees, ready to serve.

He wants to lower your cholesterol ^"^ Reprinted with permission from American Health.Magazine '• Phil Soltolof might be called the Ross Perot of cholesterol. The 70-year-old Midwestern bristles at the comparison, but he does adroit to some similarities: Self-made millionaire funds his own organization, takes his message directly to the people, and strikes a responsive chord. Sokolof founded the National Heart Savers Association (NHSA) in 1985 with a simple message — high cholesterol kills — and an ambitious goal: to make sure every American's cholesterol is at a safe level. To reach that end, Sokolof is prepared to confront anyone who stands in his way, including m^or food manufacturers, high-powered lobbyists and even the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). If revolutions are bom in unassuming places, none could be more so than the construction parts business Sokolof started in 1955. "With a telephone and a fax machine and money and a little know-how, you can be heard," he says. In the past seven years, he has sounded off on cholesterol-raising tropical oils, highfat fare at fast food restaurants and the need for comprehensive nutrition labeling on foods. Sokolof, who has spent about $4 million of his own money on NHSA, neither solicits contributions nor has a board of directors. "My style is to do my own thing,' he explains. 'A large organization, with its bureaucracy, tends not to move very fast." He devotes about 80% of his workday to NHSA and employs (vnly three people to help him run the organization. What's a guy who makes building materials doing in the war on heart disease? "I've taken two journeys in life," Sokolof explains. "One was being lucky enough to be a business success and make money. The second one—when you can do something with that money—has been even better." In 1947 Sokolof got into the construction business. Some years later, as he tells it, he sent a worker out to purchase comer bead, the molding that joins dry wall. "I looked at the price and said, 'I don't believe this!""

Sokolof recalls. He bought a machine, began making his own, then hit th^ road to sell it. He was making money, he says, by month two. In 1966, when Sokolof was 43, his life changed: He had a massive heart attack. After he recovered he became "an amateur cardiologist," reading everything he could find on the subject and pestering his doctors. Why did this happen? he kept asking. He didn't have a family history of heart disease; he wasn't a smoker; he exercised regularly; he carried only 146 pounds on a 5'10"frame. His cholesterol was 300. Before the heart attack he subsisted on "tamales, hot dogs and hamburgers," he says. *I remember Friday nights at my grandparents', everything floating in the schmaltz, the grease." Sokolof changed his diet, and within six months got his cholesterol down to 200 (today it hovers around an impressive 160). While Sokolof was wrestling with his cholesterol, his wife, Ruth, was battling glandular cancer. Despite this debilitating disease, she founded a school for blind children and raised their two kids, Steven and Karen, before succumbing in 1982. 'My wife made me a more caring person," says Sokolof. "Part of what I am today is because of her." Two yeais ailer her death, the results of a massive 10-year government study of cholesterol were released. Sokolof had been warning friends about high cholesterol for 18 years, but 'there was no way I could be heard until that study came out." In early 1986 he founded NHSA. "I didn't know what direction Heart Savers would take," he says. *I just knew that people had to become aware that they should lower their cholesterol." One of the first things Sokolof the Heart Saver did was test the cholesterol of 8,600 residents of Grand Island, Neb.—free of charge. He produced public service announcements. In 1987 he successfully lobbied Congress to declare April "National Know Your Cholesterol Month." In early 1988 he launched a campaign against major food manufacturers who used coconut or palm oils in their baked goods. Sokolof wrote and designed a full-page newspaper advertisement with a go-for-

the-jugular headline: THE POISONING OF AMERICA. The ad, which ran in m^or papers throughout the country in October 1988, helped convince such companies as Pepperidge Farm, Pillsbury, Keebler and Betty Crocker to reformulate their recipes with less-saturated vegetable oils such as soybean and com. By this time, Sokolof had gained national attention. In 1990 Sokolof repeatedly fired his signature weapon, the newspaper ad, to persuade McDonald's to come out with a reduced-fat hamburger (the McLean) and Congrms to pass the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act , which makes standardized nutrition information on food labels mandatory. These days Sokolof is campaigning for the passage of the so-called Milk Bill, introduced by Sen.. Richard Lugar (R.-Ind.). It would lift the requirement that the federally funded school lunch program provide both whole and low-fat milks, allowing schools to stock only lowfat or skim if they so choose. He ran full-page newspapers ads nationally to keep the USDA from watering down the labeling bill. For his successful effort, he was awarded the FDA's Commissioner's Special Citation. Like Ross Perot, Sokolof clearly eivjoys the spotlight. "I truly believe the higher my profile, the stronger my message will be," he explains. And he also knows when to credit the citizenry. "The public has the power to move mountains," Sokolof adds. "McDonald's is a mountain they moved." A grandfather of three, Sokolof doesn't plan on retiring. 'Heart Savers has always been a win-win situation," he says. "You can't put a.price on a life."

Merchant of Venice, end of a controversy Thousands thronged to Elmwood park this week to view Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice and gaze at the full moon as it rose over the mtgestic cottonwood trees. Both were compelling sights. Director Robert Urbinati, possibly with anti-Semitic aspects of the play A review by in mind, added a non verbal rewrite Jo Carroll to the ending of Merchant. Shylock, a Jewish money lender, who can be portrayed as the vilest of evil, came across in this production as a character one could identify with, and feel sympathy for. After all, his daughter steals his money, runs away with a Christian and his fellow countrymen spit upon him unless they want to do business with him. ^M

A Character with stature, dimension Herman Petras' portrayal of Shylock gives his character stature and dimension. In the first act when Shylock finds out his daughter has fled with his precious stones, he sits on the steps and bemoans the facts with a fHeod. The friend tries to reassure him with a comforting pat on the shoulder, but Sh'yiock will have none of that and the audience is silent. In the second act when Shylock is forced to convert to Christianity, gasps were heard from the a'udience. "They can't make him do that' A large cross is placed around hit neck as his yarmulke is forcibly removed. Mr. Petras plays the scene so well that it appears that he is naked without his head covering. But the lengths to which the director has gone to compensate for any negative feeling Jews might have about the play comes in the final scene. After the entourage that normally would conclude Merchant leaves the stage, Jessica, Shylock's daughter, goes to center stage and tears up the document that would give her her father's money Gives cross to beggar Shylock then appears on a darkened stage, yanks the Christian cross from his neck and places it in a beggar's cup...not the ending Shakespeare wrote or intended for this play, but one that certainly gives Shylock and Jews dignity. There is soma language in the play that is ok^jectfonabla to the Jewish community, but one must remember that the word bawdy almost always accompanied Shakeapeara's plays. And that's what this is.A play. Itli an evening of entertainment undamaath the l\tli moon on a lovely grassy hill whore educated people gathered to eat strawberries and watermelon, wine and mineral water and watch a CIMSIC. .^ sus^MHU j^-a^'^'wvm

Students findi coins By Hugh Orgel TEL AVIV (JTA) — A group of American student volunteer^ from Minnesota have unearthed a rare and priceless archaeological treasure of 99 ancient gold coins at a dig in the ancient port city of Caesaria. i The coins, dating back some 1,500 years to the Byzantine period, are known as "solidi," the cash currency of the time. Found under the floor of a home of an affluent family of the time, the coins shed light on the economic and commercial life of ancient Caesaria and the standard of living of the people. The total weight of the coins amounts to about 16 ^ounces.

Expanded Jewish museum opens in New York City

By Paul Kresh New York Jewish Week NEW YORK (JTA) — The Jewish Museum, expanded to twice its size when it reopened last month, is now the largest museum in the world devoted entirely to Jewish culture. Founded in 1904 in the library of the Jewish Theological Seminary, the museum has occupied the former Warburg mansion at 92nd Street and Fifth Avenue in Manhattan since 1947. In 1963 the List Building was added and the Gothic facade extended. Now, after a fund-raising drive that raised $36 million, and more than two years devoted to renovation, architect Kevin

Roche has doubled the size of the building. He added 30,000 square feet of space while extending the original limestone facade and preserving the mansion's original style both outside and in. It still looks, as it did originally in 1908, like a French Gothic chateau. While the greatly enlarged area permita the museum to exhibit more of everything, including larger selections from the 27,000 objects in its permanent collection, the bigger quarters do lack the former atmosphere of intimacy and sense of visiting a private home. Two floors are devoted to a permanent exhibition that is called "Culture and Continuity: The Jewish Journey." This realizes a dream of Joan Rosenbaum's when she took over as muaeum director 12 years ago. "Culture and continuity presents us with the longawaited opportunity to install a significant portion of our collection within the context of the history of this culture.*
