Hebrew signs, Hebrew shirts, Hebrew songs, Hebrew stories, Hebrew everywhere. For an entire week, Yeshivah of Flatbush Lower Division students immersed themselves entirely in the Hebrew language. The special week—named Shavuah TALI—was organized by the YOF Torah Studies Department to enhance one of its fundamental goals—fluency in Hebrew. The week-long event was the brainchild of Elementary School Principal Rabbi Lawrence Schwed, and was developed into a fantastic program.

As anti-Israeli sentiments dominate Turkish news reports, historical perspective is necessary. It should not be forgotten that the Ottoman Empire, and particularly its Turkish heartland, were traditionally regarded as relatively safe heavens for Jews fleeing foreign oppression. There are numerous accounts of Sephardic Jews arriving in Constantinople from the Iberian Peninsula and its Inquisitions, but less often recalled are the thousands of refugees who crossed over land from the Balkan area to Trakya, the regional name of European Turkey.
The Shehebar Sephardic Center places rabbis in Sephardic communities around the world. Currently, there are nearly 150 rabbis in the United States, Europe, Asia, Latin America and Africa. The work of the SSC enables struggling Jewish communities, some of them long forgotten, to counter the effects of intermarriage and assimilation. Here are some examples of how the SSC is literally saving Jewish souls in the Diaspora.

Does your diet go on vacation with you when you take a trip? Many people use vacations as an excuse to live it up by eating rich foods they don’t normally eat, or eating super-sized restaurant portions all day long.

Before the 1970s, Oriental medicine was only practiced in the US by immigrants who brought the knowledge of its practice with them to the States. Until that time, acupuncture was basically ignored by non-Oriental Americans.
Many children have orthodontic problems which develop at a young age. So parents want to know how early their children’s orthodontic problems need to be treated. Although some orthodontic problems are best treated with traditional braces after all permanent teeth have come in, many problems can and should be treated as soon as they are noticed, no matter how young a child is. Patients may be treated as early as four years old to correct and help prevent major orthodontic problems. With proper case selection, early orthodontic treatment by a pediatric dentist may be the only orthodontic treatment a child ever requires, or can make later treatment easier, quicker and less expensive later on. Above all, early treatment allows time to design a nice broad beautiful smile for a lifetime.
An orthodontist is a specialist in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of dental and facial irregularities. Orthodontists undergo an additional two to three years of specialized education beyond dental school to learn the proper way to align jaws, fix bad bites, and straighten teeth. This formal education is essential for any dentist wanting to adopt the title “orthodontist.”
