Listed below, the four shows are produced by YI Love Jewish, a division of the Yiddishkayt Initiative, which is a national nonprofit cultural arts organization that celebrates and promotes Jewish history, life, and culture, and its far-reaching impact on the world through the performing arts, publishing, education, language, and literature. The Wheel: Songs from the Road Featuring The Zisl Slepovitch Klezmer Trio Thursday, October 17 at 8 p.m. Musicologist and singer D. Zisl Slepovitch presents a collection of rare, beautiful, and sometimes revelational, songs and instrumental pieces that he recorded from mostly elderly Jewish people and discovered in the archives in Eastern Europe with his mentor Dr. Nina Stepanskaya. Time Out New York reported, " . . . the brave sound of klezmer, played with a full heart and as loud as the clarinet can blow." Slepovitch is a multi-instrumentalist (clarinetist, saxophonist, flutist, pianist and keyboardist, singer) who is also renowned as a conductor, composer, arranger, translator, and music and Yiddish educator. This event is presented as part of YI Love Jewish YIDFEST 2024 Series.

The play takes place within three worlds: Anne and her family's secret annex hiding place, the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp where Anne died and an imagined world where Anne survives WWII to go over the manuscript of her diary with her editor at a publishing house in Manhattan. This play poses the question: "Had Anne known precisely what was in store for her and her family at the hands of the Nazis, would she still have written, ‘In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart?’” This event contains adult language or content.

New Trial for Patients with Advanced and Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer Available Now PROFILES July 2021 July 28, 2021 Share Are you, or someone you know, being treated for Advanced or Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer with chemotherapy alone? If so, you may want to contact Dr. Robert Donoway at Atlas Oncology in Hollywood/Aventura, Florida, regarding a new trial combining multimodality therapy in combination with Pancreatic Nanoknife Ablation and with chemo-immuno-radiotherapy. With over 35 years experience performing pancreatic surgery here in Tri-county South Florida, Dr. Donoway saw what others as well recognize, that often because of late diagnosis, up to 85% of the patients undergoing pancreatic surgery for potential cure, already had metastatic disease that limited the benefit they might get from the Whipple surgery. Today, recent evidence shows that when even advanced disease is treated aggressively in a multimodality integrated approach, incorporating Nanoknife surgery, long term survivorship of many years can be achieved; especially when compared to chemotherapy alone, as mono-modality therapy. Dr. Donoway has been a pioneer in the use of Pancreatic NanoKnife, especially for complex and advanced cases and during the past decade, remains the only surgical oncologist performing the procedure in South Florida. International Patients from around the globe have traveled to receive this groundbreaking treatment; which is FDA approved. Dr. Donoway has also treated other advanced cancers, such as liver, breast and sarcomas using Nanoknife surgery. The average procedure lasts approximately 1-2 hours and has a brief recovery, this means the patient can start chemotherapy and radiation that much sooner. Dr. Donoway feels that “we are long overdue to revise our approach to treating pancreatic cancer, which has remained unchanged in essentially over 80 years and has just broken the 9-10% five year survival barrier. Only through thinking outside the box, will we accomplish the positive. Otherwise, all we’re doing is confirming Einstein’s definition of Insanity.” Dr. Donoway is participating in several clinical studies identifying the best chemotherapy and immunotherapies to be used along with Nanoknife, Dr. Donoway states, "The results so far, have been very encouraging and we have begun using it for other select cancers. Among his longest survivors, are now patients with over eight years and without evidence of cancer recurrence. In the past, without Nanoknife, they would have been likely to have only lived a year or so, this technique opens a whole new avenue for treating those eligible patients in a more targeted fashion." Dr. Donoway will be presenting the long-term results of this pancreatic treatment paradigm, later this fall at an international cancer society in Europe.

List Now while the market is hot July 28, 2021 Share Not every real estate professional targets his or her career to be known as a “concierge broker.” Twenty-plus years ago, when she first started out in real estate, that was the goal of Lonna Spitaleri, now founder/owner/broker of Costa Bella Realty Group in Hollywood. From the beginning, Lonna wanted to be recognized as a real estate sales professional, who could exceed her client’s expectations in delivering personalized service, whether the sale was small or monumental And she obviously succeeded. Lonna started her career as a sales associate with RE/MAX. During each of the eight years she was affiliated with that agency, she was awarded the 100% or Platinum Award as a Top Producer. Following that and just prior to founding Costa Bella Realty Group in 2016, Lonna had worked an additional eight years as a Broker Associate with another top real estate brokerage, where again, she consistently was cited as a Top Producer. Today, not only is Lonna the owner of a fine boutique real estate brokerage, but she has advanced her credentials with the designation of Certified Luxury Home Specialist, as well as some other specialized industry certifications. Lonna specializes in all types of properties that include: luxury homes, single family homes, condos and commercial properties. She serves as a buyer’s agent as well as a seller’s agent. Lonna and her agents assist clients with decision-making in properties under construction, relocations, waterfront properties, vacation homes and investment properties. She guides first-time home buyers by providing research on all applicable properties. Currently, her company Costa Bella Realty Group has 25 agents, personally selected by Lonna for their personality, attitudes and people skills. Besides English, Costa Bella Realty Group can offer professional service and expertise in Russian, Spanish, French, Creole and Italian. Under Lonna’s direction, each agent is groomed in sensitivity training to meet individual client needs and the expertise to follow through with a smooth transaction to the sale. Known as a boutique real estate brokerage, Costa Bella Realty Group has assisted clients in the buying and selling of residential and commercial properties ranging in every price range. Agents with Costa Bella have South Florida covered from north Miami-Dade through Palm Beach Counties. That includes 52 areas of preferred locations such as: Aventura, Sunny Isles Beach, Golden Beach, Hallandale Beach, Hollywood and the Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach, Hillsborough Beach, Boca Raton, Sea Ranch Lakes and Lighthouse Point, as well as Plantation, Davie, Cooper City and Coral Springs. The brokerage has also helped clients close on hotels and motels on Hollywood Beach and Downtown Hollywood. Costa Bella Realty Group is located at 330 North Federal Highway in Hollywood, in the same building as the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. “Being located so physically close to the Chamber has given us a wonderful opportunity to work with other professionals involved in the redevelopment of Downtown Hollywood and to help bring business and residents to the area,” says Lonna. “Hollywood is our home base and efforts to help make it bigger and stronger, is to everyone’s advantage,” she adds. Lonna keeps ahead of all trends, but is quick to point out that the major problem in real estate today, is a lack of inventory. “Everybody wants to move to Florida,” she says. They are coming down in droves and we do not have enough product to show them. People are outbidding the asking prices of homes here. That is definitely an area that we can guide our clients for the best results.” Having been a resident of South Florida for more than 50 years during which she raised her three children, Lonna now is able to take advantage of a fabulous South Florida lifestyle. Lonna continues to maintain ongoing relationships with her clients, updating them about changing market cycles and trends. This enables them to make real estate investment decisions for their families and themselves throughout the year. As a result of this unique personalized connection, Lonna Spitaleri remains one of the area’s top producers and sought-after real estate professionals. Lonna has received many 5-star commendations from buyers and sellers, noted for her knowledge of the market, comparable values for buying or selling and being in fine tune with her clients’ needs, goals, styles and preferences. “Right now, the market is hot and inventory is low,” says Lonna. She wants to remind homeowners that if they are considering selling their home any time soon, this is the time to list. “Costa Realty Group will be happy to provide a free market analysis of any property”, says Lonna, “to help list and sell it for the best possible price in this sizzling sellers’ market.” “Nothing is more exciting to me than the gratifying feeling I get from helping people with their real estate needs,” says Lonna. “I take pride in being informative, honest and trustworthy in helping people find their dream home or investment property at the best price or offer for their sale.” According to Lonna, this is where being a concierge broker comes in. “Every transaction, especially in this tumultuous South Florida real estate market, requires intense due diligence,” she says. “Too many people are just out to make the sell,” she adds. “Our goal is to understand the needs and create a satisfied client. Having a successful outcome for our clients, is the Costa Bella Group criteria for success. Their satisfaction is our success.” Lonna Spitaleri Costa Bella International Realty 954-921-2800 330 N.
