Do You Need Disability Insurance?
Ask any financial planner or insurance agent what risk people usually forget about and the answer will probably be disability. Their clients often come in the door questioning whether they have too little, too much or the right kind of life insurance, but rarely have they thought about how they could survive financially with no earned income. In fact, disability insurance is as important as—and in some cases, even more important than—life insurance.
Life Is a Ball Game
America’s favorite pastime is going to a ball game to watch their favorite team play against the visiting team. My favorites happen to be the Yankees. In their uniforms, they take the field and sing the national anthem. The fans cheer, watching the unity amongst the teammates.
Alleviating Back Pain
Your back is an intricate matrix of bones, muscles, nerves, and tissue that keep your body balanced and functioning properly. It’s also the number one site for chronic pain. The latest statistics show that 31 million Americans experience low back pain. It is the single leading cause of disability worldwide and one of the most common reasons for missed work. In fact, back pain is the second most common reason for visits to the doctor’s office, outnumbered only by upper-respiratory infections.

Heartwarming Stories of Helping Others
Museum of Tolerance
Eric Moed recently graduated from the Pratt Institute School of Architecture in New York. That’s when he learned that his family was saved during WWII by a righteous diplomat. Aristides de Sousa Mendes saved thousands by disobeying his government’s orders and granting visas to desperate refugees to escape into Portugal. Shortly thereafter, Aristides was punished severely for his altruistic actions—his job and his family home, the Casa do Passal, were taken away from him, and the house descended into a state of ruin.
October In Jewish History
The Six Day War
On October 6, 1973, Yom Kippur, Egypt and Syria launched a coordinated surprise attack against Israel. The war was the fiercest Arab-Israeli war since the 1948 War of Independence. It came almost as a complete surprise. Egyptian forces crossed the Suez Canal, establishing beachheads on the Israeli-held east bank. On the Golan Heights, the Syrians pushed past the cease-fire lines and occupied a large area. They also seized the key Israeli intelligence-gathering position on Mt. Hermon.
The SAFE Foundation’s Annual Dinner
Held in the gorgeous backyard of Sarah and Eddie Gindi’s home, The SAFE Dinner was, as it always is, an educational and thoroughly enjoyable evening. “What can be nicer than spending a summer night at a beautiful house, being served a delicious dinner, and socializing with lovely people in support of an important community organization,” said one guest at the annual fundraising dinner for The SAFE Foundation.
The Dangers of Prescription Drug Use
Every day, over 5,000 teens experiment with drugs for the first time. Most parents don’t realize that many of these drugs are not coming from the street, but rather from medicine cabinets in their own homes, or the homes of friends. With the easy availability and false notion that prescription and over-the-counter drugs (OTC) are safe, more and more teens, including those who would never use illicit drugs, are using these to get high.
Two Stories of Bravery
In September 1940, with calm deliberation, Polish Army officer Witold Pilecki walked into a Nazi German street round-up in Warsaw. He had volunteered for a potentially suicidal secret undercover mission for the Polish Underground—to get himself arrested by the Germans and sent to Auschwitz as a prisoner.

These rainbow bright colors for your lips and eyes mark a departure from past season’s pastels.
