And Don't Forget Your Gemushka |
|
After tirelessly working "the system" for over three years, a resident of Rechov HaGedaim, perpendicular to my street in Jerusalem, was ecstatic. The Municipality, specifically the department in charge of street-sign names, approved his proposal and Rechov HaGedaim has a new name: Rechov Trumpledor. Well not exactly a new name, but rather a more " P.C." (Politically Correct) new name, because HaGedaim, as I learned from my grandson, means "The Amputee". |

I Heard You Like A Challenge |
|
My private number at the office (The Neuropsychology Unit at Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem) rang. Now I am quite reachable, most people "have my number" (both concretely and metaphorically), and I don't answer phones during work hours (or I'd just be answering phones all day and not working). The exception to the last point is my "nuclear" family. |

Eretz Ochelet/Dorechet Yoshve'ha |
Ochelet Yoshve'ha (consumes its inhabitants) is what the meraglim (Biblical spies sent out by Moses to check out the Israel of old) reported when they returned. For deriding G-d's munificence, they and Am Yisrael were punished and forced to wander in the desert sands for 40 years. |

|
By Dr. Judith Guedalia, Chaim K., Jenny S. and Mimi N. © 2007 I was nervous. This was going to be my first "group" in a very long time. How would I segue to a foursome from a "sicha b'arba eynaim" - literally four-eyed conversation − the vernacular for the French tête-à-tête, "head to head" − or in English: a private conversation between two persons? |

Reflecting On Reality... Or Not Every Race Is Worth Winning |

He knocked on the door. He was early and I asked him to wait in the waiting area. He paced back and forth. He knocked again. And again. All I could think of as I opened the door was Mr. Hare (The Mad Hatter, actually) from Alice in Wonderland singing: |

Seeing Life as It Can Be - Not Accepting Life As It Is! |
By Dr. Judith Guedalia and Chaim K.
"When I first came to Dr. Guedalia, about a year ago, I believed/thought that my life was over, because I am paralyzed; because I can't do anything; because I can't breath on my own; because I can't get married. But since then, my way of thinking changed, and I learned to look at life in relative, not absolute terms. |

On January 18, I saw the telecast of a horrible car accident on the Arava road to Eilat, where two people were killed and five wounded. It was announced that the driver was Ami Popper, who was convicted of murdering seven Arabs 16 years ago. The announcement went on to say that his wife, Sarah (nee Goldberg), 42, and their six-year-old son, Shimshon, were the individuals killed. |
