This is TELEGEMACH's latest venture, thanks to its success in
making connections in the areas of shidduchim and
general chessed etc.
Mr. Telegemach (Avrohom Ellis - tell it to Ellis) has rounded
up a number of professionals in the areas of medicine,
psychology, law, mortgages, construction, speech therapy,
counseling, cooking, support-people who have undergone
serious illnesses themselves, and others - who are willing to
give of their experience and knowhow on a volunteer basis.
Call TELEGEMACH at 08-9412337 twenty-four hours a day (write
this number down in your own directory) and Get Connected!
And while on the subject of advice, our Bnei Brak P.R.
person, Leah Weisman, who also deals with shidduchim,
is asking the general public for advice. She got a call from
a shadchonis who said she received three calls in one
evening from women over forty asking for help. They were
single/divorced/widowed and could not connect with a
matchmaker who could help. (In this case, Telegemach tried,
but had no luck.)
We are appealing to anyone who can deal with this particular
sector to fax Leah at the Yated office, 03-5709181, and offer
whatever advice they can, so that we can help CONNECT.
Remember, this year has been declared a MAKE-ONE-SHIDDUCH (at
least) Year.
Powder Power
Chana S. would like to pass on the following tip, which she
just learned recently. She had been using baby powder for
years on babies' bottoms, sometimes with good results,
sometimes not. She finally learned to differentiate:
Baby talc is terrible for fungi in the diaper area.
Pitriya will feed on the powder and just get worse. A
fungus is usually diagnosed by small pimples, not a general
redness. Best is an anti-fungus cream.
The trend is away from scented baby powder. But for
convenience' sake, you can open up your baby powder container
and fill it with potato starch or cornflour, which are very
silky and soothing, if they are fine. If not, they can be
blended to a more powdery form.
Talc is excellent for chafing, the redness resulting from
rubbing. For immediate relief, smear on a good cream, like A
& D, and pat on the talc right after. You may need a second
application, but rarely.
Talc is also good for tight shoes and for putting on boots
and rubber gloves. And cornstarch, known in Israel as
cornflour, is excellent for rolling out dough, since it need
not be presifted.
