Food for Thought
by Tamar Ansh

Food and its presentation / Are fast becoming The next yetzer hora / Of our generation.

Food, glorious food, / Once upon a time was only just that / Meant to be eaten, used as a tool / To keep us going, give us some fuel.

Poor Little Boy

by A. Ross M.Ed.

Once again, Yanky came home from school crying. Nobody is my friend, nobody wants to sit next to me, nobody likes me. When I start playing with them, they move somewhere else. Poor little boy. His mother, who would do anything in the world for him, cannot buy him friends. She cannot force them to like him.

How Many Today?
By Shira Levy

Spring. Adar. Happy time in preparation for the month of Redemption. Try a smile. Try a smile for a while. Try a smile for a mile. Try a smile for a child. Got the idea?

By Rebbetzin Nomi Travis

More Details about Pain Free Dentistry
by Gita Gordon

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

Now to answer questions about the prostate gland. This gland sits at the base of the bladder and is the only internal organ that is exclusively male. A thin wall separates it from the rectum and that is the only way to examine it on physical exam. Since it is so close to that area, it can easily get infected and since its blood supply isn't the best, antibiotics do not penetrate well, and chronic prostatitis can occur.
