The Wisdom of Women...
by Yisca Shimony

Hashya stood by the window, looking at the darkening sky. In the semidarkness, she lowered her gaze to the beautiful garden and as she looked at the lengthening shadows of the trees, she felt foreboding and fear. Sadness enveloped her as she recalled the hasty departure of her dear husband who had left Rome on a business trip.

Fact or Friction?
by Gita Gordon

The minivan pulled in at the first stop. The driver looked at his timetable and saw that he had five passengers to collect as well as one parcel for delivery. This was his last run before Shabbos.

Children are born learners, and when they are ready for a particular activity and are then provided with the appropriate stimulation to learn, they will rise to the challenge.

Each child and his internal developmental clock...

Your Medical Questions Answered!
by Joseph B. Leibman, MD

Recently, the Mayo Clinic Proceedings discussed diets, in an article called The Search for the Perfect Heart Healthy Diet. Despite recent advances in defining diabetes, sugar intolerance, high blood pressure and cholesterol, and diets that emphasize these issues, Westerners are getting fatter and fatter due to larger calorie intake and less physical activity.

Nuts To You!
by Dr. Reuven Bruner, Ph.D.

Walnuts are an especially good choice because they provide vital omega-3 fatty acids in addition to the vitamin E, trace minerals, and fiber that other nuts contain. (By the way, peanuts are legumes, not nuts, and have a less desirable fatty-acid profile.)
