Voting For A Bright Future: New Commissioners, Vice Mayor & Holiday Lighting In Hallandale Beach By Hallandale Beach Mayor, Joy Cooper December 1, 2022 Share Over the past years, our City has not budgeted for Holiday Lights. Obviously, we had gone through COVID-19 over two years but before that, the City Budget was so unstable the Commission did not want to spend the money on items that were not core services. Commissioner Lazarow, in the last budget had asked for funding, but we were just getting out of COVID-19 and unsure whether we could pay our bills with the economic crisis and inflation. This year she asked and I also pushed for funding. We thought we had gotten it done for this holiday but turns out we were told vendors needed more lead time for orders. Until two weeks ago we had been telling interested residents the lights would be for the next holiday. City Manager Dr. Earle and our Staff worked with our budget and the vendors, and we have been told the Holiday Lights will happen. These are not the only lights that will be displayed. On Monday, the Commission approved an extension for the placement of Holiday Displays on City Hall property. For years while I was on the dais, we had placed a Menorah and a Manger Scene at City Hall. This is not just our practice but many cities and even the White house embrace our diverse beliefs. We even hosted a lighting ceremony for the young students at the Chabad Seminary School. Over the recent years the practice was not recognized. With the horrible rise in antisemitism we need to move back to a more civil accepting society. Current Commissioners were unaware that there was an established policy to allow outside individuals to place displays on their own. The policy was established when we had an individual wanting to place an upside down cross next to the display. Many community leaders and staff were extremely upset. We actually either had to allow it or would have to remove the displays. At that time, I spoke with the city manager and said let the person do it. In other words, I did not think it was proper to allow one individual to ruin our holiday spirit. A policy was put in place with a deadline to apply as of November 1st. The Chabad was also unaware of the policy and asked permission to place a display in front of city hall for this Hanukah. Commissioner Annabelle Taub and I sponsored an item in order to allow displays and requested the deadline be adjusted this year to December 1st. It passed unanimously. In other news, the Commission had its organizational meeting on Monday. Commissioners Adams and Butler were sworn into their seats. At this meeting, the Vice Mayor is selected. The Vice Mayor serves in the event the Mayor is unable. Vice Mayor Butler could have remained as there is no rule that prevents consecutive two-year terms. One year we reappointed Former Vice Mayor Bill Julian for another term. It is understood that it has been a pleasure serving with all my colleagues over the past two years, in a wonderful civil environment. Mike has been a great Vice Mayor. In this case it is not an easy thing to pick amongst colleagues. Commissioners Butler and Lazarow have all had the chance to serve as Vice Mayor. In fairness since Commissioner Anabelle Lima-Taub has not served in that capacity, I nominated her. She has been and remains to be a resolute public servant. Her commitment to our residents and those without a voice has been steadfast. Her service over the past two years working hard to help shepherding many condominium issues is also noteworthy. She graciously asked Commissioner Lazarow if she wanted the position, but Commissioner Lazarow supported her nomination. Commissioner Adams nominated herself. Vice Mayor Anabelle Lima-Taub was selected in a 4-1 vote. She will serve for the next two years. I wanted to send a special thank you to all the community partners that donated their time and resources to help those in need this past Thanksgiving. Harry and Jen of Cross-Town Towing reached out to me and asked if I knew of any one in need. They donated 75 turkeys to many needy school families. The Robert Fenstershieb Foundation has been continuing the great work of philanthropy their father started. The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community here in Hallandale Beach continues to perform amazing outreach helping many students and seniors at our Hepburn Center. Kiwanis PAL and Rotary also donated items to our local schools. Our Staff and City also held our Annual Thanksgiving Lunch with our seniors at the Hepburn Center. For those that were unable to attend hot meals were delivered to homes here in the City. As we get ready for the holiday, please remember there are ways to support those in need. Last year I adopted an event that Ms. Sandra Atkins always held for our local children, “Hope for The Holidays.” I am partnering with the official nonprofit “Hope for the Holidays, Inc.” and Gulfstream Park to host this year’s event. We are asking for your support! Please visit my Facebook or the Hope for the Holidays FB page or simply give me a call at:(954) 457-1318. We hope to make sure at least 350 children receive gifts and a visit with Santa. There will be a Mixed Doubles followed by bagel brunch event at Golden Isles Tennis December 6th, 9 am sponsored by Jessie Smatt and myself for Hope for the Holidays. Please call me to make a reservation or visit to the tennis center. Reservations are $30 plus unwrapped gift. If you do not play you can still come out and support the kids. As always, feel free to reach out to me with your questions, concerns and ideas to make our City a better place! I can be reached 24/7/365 at my Office Number: (954) 457-1318. On my Cell/Text at: (954) 632-5700. Or E-mail me at: jcooper@cohb.org < Previous News Next News >

Tamarac’s TBTST Temple Takes Community Action To Heart Jewish Connection News Aug 15, 2025 Last Week On August 17th, From 9:30 a.m. To 12:00 p.m. Noon, Tamarac’s Temple Beth Torah Sha’aray Tzedek (TBTST), Once Again Demonstrated Its Commitment To The Greater Community Through Their Mitzvah Day/Open House Communal Event. The Word “Mitzvah” Is Hebrew For Commandment, But It Has A Well-Known Secondary Meaning: An Act Of Kindness Or Good Deed. Tamarac’s Temple Beth Torah Sha’aray Tzedek (TBTST) Is Committed To Performing Good Acts Of Kindness, ‘Mitzvot,” Following The Commandment In Leviticus 19:18: “Love Your Neighbor As Yourself.” Activities Reflect TBTST’s Ongoing Commitment To “Tzedakah,” Charity, And “Tikkun Olam,” Repairing The World Through Performing Virtuous Deeds. Rabbis Rami Pavolotzky and Daniela Szuster explain the underlying source of Mitzvah Day: “Tzedakah” the mitzvah of philanthropy and charity actually translates as “justice.” Tzedakah goes beyond financial donations to include actions and contributions of time, effort, and awareness. Most people are familiar with Jewish charities supporting schools, hospitals and social action globally, not just in the Jewish world. The 'mitzvah of tzedakah', justice through social action, not just financial transactions, is an integral part of Judaism.” This year’s Mitzvah Day/Open House brought together the TBTST “family” with both visitors seeking information on the synagogue, and with our many non-Jewish friends and neighbors, all united by performing acts of kindness. TBTST Clergy, Educators and Leadership will be on hand to answer any questions about the synagogue while joining in Mitzvah activities. Tours and registration for the synagogue’s Early Childhood Center and Religious School were offered. You didn’t have to be Jewish to be a part of doing Mitzvot! Adults and children are welcome to participate in a variety of projects. 2025 Mitzvah Day projects included: • Making Greeting Cars for the Daniel Cantor Senior Center • Assembling 100’s of Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwiches for Craig’s Pantry in Plantation • Collecting new children’s clothing donations for JAFCO • Making and packaging cookies for Tamarac’s First Responders • Collecting clothing for Veterans’ Homes and for Women in Distress of Broward County • Collecting new and gently used children & teen shoes for distribution by In Jacob’s Shoes • Helping fur babies by making fleece blankets for The Humane Society • Packing items previously collected for U.S. Troops through Operation Shoebox • Giving Blood donations at the Big Red Bus in the synagogue parking lot This year, participants had the additional opportunity of connecting with individual Israeli citizens, showing personal support to many in the war-traumatized country by establishing new relationships with both adults and children there. Through a special alliance with Israel’s growing Masorti-Conservative movement, participants will be able to engage in a new Pen-Pal program, connecting with Israelis of all ages. In addition, children from TBTST’s Religious School and its Early Childhood Center created friendship bracelets for their new Israeli friends.

How To Protect Your Pet's Dental Health By Family Features Apr 17, 2025 Like Humans, Pets' Oral Hygiene Plays An Important Role In Their Overall Health And Quality Of Life. Common Conditions Like Plaque Buildup, Tartar And Bad Breath Can Escalate To Serious Health Conditions If Untreated. In fact, by the age of 3, 80% of pets experience some form of dental health issue and the risk only increases as they age. However, for many pet owners, taking care of their four-legged friends' oral health is a more difficult habit to maintain than their own daily brushing and flossing routine. Many veterinarians recommend regular brushing for pets and a wide array of treats and meal additives complement brushing to help support your pet's oral health. Protecting your pet's oral health begins by talking with your veterinarian, who can provide recommendations tailored to your pet's specific needs. With that guidance, you can start comparison shopping and reading labels so you can identify quality products. Remember you're likely to find the greatest success by introducing oral health products as part of your pet's daily routine early on. Certifications for Trust and Quality Products that meet high standards are eligible for certifications that assure consumers about their quality and efficacy. For example, the VOHC (Veterinary Oral Health Council) is an independent organization that evaluates pet dental products. Their Seal of Acceptance is awarded to products that meet strict standards for controlling plaque and tartar. You can find the seal on packaging as an easy visual indication of the product's quality standards. Natural, Effective Ingredients Look for products that prioritize safety and health by offering natural, clinically proven ingredients and no artificial additives or chemicals. Seaweed or Kelp is a preferred ingredient because it contains minerals and enzymes that help reduce plaque and prevent bacteria. You can find 100% natural and organic kelp in products like ProDen PlaqueOff(r), which includes A.N ProDen(r), a Kelp ingredient sustainably harvested from specially selected locations in the pristine North Atlantic waters off the Scandinavian coastline. Processed through a specialized method in extreme environmental conditions, it attains peak quality and effectiveness, ensuring safety and health for your pet. Sustainable Practices Another detail you can gather from the product's packaging is whether a product manufacturer adheres to environmentally friendly practices and safe ingredient sourcing, which means the product is not only good for pets but also for the planet. This may be evident in certifications or special icons on the packaging, through information about sustainably harvested ingredients or with packaging that itself is environmentally responsible. Tailoring to Individual Pets Different pets have different needs based on age, size, breed and oral health status. Selecting the right product may also be complicated by your pet's allergies or picky eating habits. You can find a variety of ingestible options, including powders, chews or bones like those offered by ProDen PlaqueOff(r), to use in conjunction with daily brushing. • Powder: Ideal for a seamless addition to your pet's diet, this is the most economical choice, particularly for long-term use. It's especially suitable for younger pets as a preventive measure, given its longevity and cost-effectiveness. • Chews: For those looking for an easy-to-administer option that doubles as a reward, chews are the way to go. Additionally, for older pets or those with missing teeth, soft chews can offer a gentle yet effective way to maintain oral health. They're a convenient choice for pet owners to give as a daily dose without the need for measuring or mixing. • Bones: Designed not only to satisfy your dog's natural chewing instincts but also to aid in dental care, bones are a perfect option for pet parents whose dogs prefer a longer-lasting treat. Bones come in a variety of flavors and sizes, catering to both large and small breeds, making them a versatile way to help keep your dog's teeth clean and their breath fresh.
