HOME & FAMILY LETTERS, FEEDBACK, EITZES
We asked for `eitzes' -- here are some great ones.
"Dovid, could you please pass the Bisli?" (Dovid passes the
Bisli.) "Thank you." "You're welcome." (Dovid's turn.)
"Miriam, could you please pass..."
PREPARING FOR THE FUTURE Sometimes, it is not possible. Sometimes the school is too far way; sometimes the route passes through an unsafe neighborhood. Or perhaps you cannot fit it into your morning schedule. But if you can, walking your child can be a valuable way to help your child in many important areas.
"A Wednesday in Marcheshvan"
. . . and here we are in Sivan-Tammuz!
I first heard this expression used by my father-in-law,
referring to the typical day with absolutely nothing special
anywhere nearby on the calendar. [It might equally apply to
these limbo days before vacation, or even including during
the summer vacation, that s-t-r-e- t-c-h out.]
Hashem knows what He's doing.
Each person's life's circumstances are given to us for a
definite purpose. We don't presume to know anything about
past lives and reincarnations, nor are we supposed to think
about such mystic things. But the following metaphor might
shed some light on the different situations dished out to
different people:
COMMUNICATION Before discussing the use and needs of Augmentative and Alternative Communication, it will be best to define these terms for those who have had no experience with people who have difficulty in communication.
Tishma -- ABA for Autistic Children There is a flurry of activity on Rechov Rashi and Tachkemoni in the Mekor Baruch section of Jerusalem near Geula. As you walk by and listen very carefully, you can hear the voices of the children of Tishma asking for a nosh, saying a new word for the first time, or singing the Alef Bais.
BOOK REVIEW All right, I admit it. I read every installment of The Legacy when it was serialized in the English Yated a few years back, and even clipped each chapter to share with my nieces abroad. The themes were interesting, the characters diverse, and the overall message one of hope and faith.
Your Medical Questions Answered!
One of my correspondents requested I speak on the issue of
sugar intake in children.
Sugar is a high energy food which is actually not bad for you
if you are engaged in activities that require high energy.
Most of us are not, so this simple carbohydrate collects as
fat. That already is a serious problem.
