Recognizing a STROKE
Shul Library

Congregation AABJ&D is initiating two new Adult Ed
Miniseries.
Starting this Tuesday evening, February 5th at 8:30 PM,
Joel Rich will lead a 3 session class entitled "Beginners
Swim (Introduction to the Talmud).
Beginners swim is intended as a 3 session introduction to
the Yam Hatalmud (Sea of the Talmud) for men and women with
limited or no Talmudic background. The sessions will cover a
brief history of the Talmud and its place in Jewish history
and thought. We will cover the structure and content of the
Talmud, as well as discuss methods of study and Talmudic
logic. We will review the layout of the page of Talmud (who
are all those commentaries?) and then jump into the sea
(this sea is in of itself a guaranteed life saver/extender).
Beginning on Wednesday evening, February 6th at 8:30 PM,
Ilene Strauss will lead a 3 session class entitled "What Was
So Great About David?"
During Shabbat Kiddush in Main Shul

The Rav in Thought and Deed: You give us 5-10 minutes a
week, we'll give you the world of The Rav.
The Rabbi Yosef Dov Halevi Soloveitchik ZTLL"HH (The Rav) Study
Group meets on Shabbat morning in the main sanctuary
approximately 15 minutes after Kiddush begins. All are
invited to attend to share Torat HaRav which includes
philosophical issues related to being an orthodox Jew in the
modern world as well as the particular practices of The Rav.
We are currently studying Rabbi H. Schachter's "Mpninei
Harav" . Over the past 10+ years we have completed his
companion volume "Nefesh Harav" as well as Rabbi A.
Rakeffet's 2 volume series "The Rav".

STROKE:
Remember The 1st Three Letters...S.T.R.
STROKE IDENTIFICATION:
During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured
everyone that she was
fine (they offered to call paramedics) and just tripped over a brick
because of her new shoes.
They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food - while she
appeared a bit shaken up,
Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingrid's
husband called later telling
everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00p m,
Ingrid passed away.)
She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify
the signs of a stroke,
perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some don't die. They end up
in a helpless, hopeless condition instead.
It only takes a minute to read this...
A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3
hours he can totally
reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was
getting a stroke recognized,
diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3
hours, which is tough.
; RECOGNIZING A STROKE
Thank God for the sense to remember the "3" steps, STR . Read and
Learn!
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify.
Unfortunately, the lack of awareness
spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage
when people nearby fail
to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three
simple questions:
S
*
Ask the individual to SMILE.
T
*
Ask the person to TALK
to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE
(Coherently) (i.e. It is sunny out today)
R
*
Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
NOTE:
Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out
their
tongue. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to
one side or the other
that is also an indication of a stroke. If
he or she has trouble with
ANY ONE of these tasks, call 911 immediately !! and
describe the
symptoms to the dispatcher.

SHUL LIBRARY
Dear Fellow Members:
Recently, several of our members have approached me and other
members of the Executive
Committee to discuss ways to enhance and upgrade our shul library.
The library is used by
many of our members, particularly young members, as a place of
learning and study. It can
and should offer Seforim and other Jewish books (and CD's) of
interest to all, from our
young children to our adult members, and serve as a resource center
for those who cannot
afford or otherwise do not have these books (or CD's) at home.
In response, we have formed a new “Library” Committee, headed by Dr.
Ronald Sultan,
with the task of reorganizing and upgrading the library. In
addition, we have created a
new Library Fund to which we encourage all of you to contribute.
Monies from the fund
will enable the committee to purchase new books and materials. The
Library Fund is
a perfect vehicle to mark a yahrzeit, , Bar Mitzvah, Bat Mitzvah,
anniversary, birthday
or other Simcha or acknowledge a good deed. Should you wish to honor
someone or
commemorate a yahrzeit, a letter will be sent to the recipient.
Donations to the fund
will be listed in the Chronicle and will earn Sisterhood donor
credit. The minimum
donation is $10, Anyone interested in purchasing sets of books or
particular items
for the library should contact Dr. Sultan or the Shul office.
Please join me in supporting the Library Fund so that we can have a
library that
we can all use and be proud of.
Thank you.
David G. Cherna
