- ‘We Felt Seen:’ How FIDF Helps Grandparents Of Fallen IDF Soldiers Heal Together | sun-times
‘We Felt Seen:’ How FIDF Helps Grandparents Of Fallen IDF Soldiers Heal Together Jewish Connection News Oct 23, 2025 Givat Olga, Israel — For Ruthie And Andy Weiser, The Loss Of Their Grandson, Staff Sgt. Roey Weiser, Will Remain An Open Wound. He Was Killed On The Morning Of October 7th, 2023, Defending His Base As War Erupted Across Israel. For more than a year, the Weisers grieved quietly. They poured themselves into helping their children and grandchildren survive the unbearable. Only later did they begin to understand what had been missing. In November 2024, the couple joined 245 bereaved grandparents from across Israel at a four-day Bereaved Families Retreat organized by Friends of the Israel Defense Forces. The program is one of several FIDF initiatives to support the families of Israel’s fallen heroes. Other programs include Legacy Travel Programs and camps for children who have lost a parent or sibling in uniform; bereaved family retreats for spouses, partners, children, parents and siblings of the fallen; and After the Shiva, a program that pairs grieving families in financial need with supportive communities abroad, offering transitional financial assistance for up to three years. At FIDF’s Bereaved Families Retreat for grandparents, for the first time, the Weisers found space to speak, to cry and to be seen. “We learned the term ‘Standing Shiva,’ but not just as a phrase. It is what we lived,” Andy said. “As grandparents, we are standing, supporting our children, our grandchildren, while carrying our own grief. There is so little we can do and so few who see us. That is why I have the deepest gratitude to FIDF. They gave us the chance to feel seen.” Ruthie, originally from New York, and Andy, originally from Maryland, met as teenagers at Camp Moshava in the United States. Forty-four years ago, they made Aliyah and raised their children in Karnei Shomron, where they built a home rooted in community, tradition and service. Their grandson, Roey, grew up in Efrat with that same spirit. From his early years, Roey was a burst of energy. Athletic and mischievous, at age 10, he ran the Jerusalem Marathon under his sister’s name because he was too young to register. In elementary school, when the bell rang for recess, he would climb out the window to reach the soccer field before anyone else. He loved American football, music and his siblings Shani and Nadav and always managed to make those around him laugh. “Just saying his name makes me smile,” Ruthie said. As a first sergeant in the elite Golani Brigade, Roey was known for his fierce loyalty to the soldiers under his command. He deferred an acceptance to officer training school in order to stay with his soldiers, leading them through the end of their mandatory service. “In the army, he grew into himself,” Ruthie said. “He loved his soldiers deeply, and they knew it. He was a true leader.” That Simchat Torah weekend, Roey made sure as many of his soldiers as possible could go home to celebrate. He stayed behind with the small contingent required on base. “Who knew what was coming?” Ruthie said. “And then came the attack.” After his death, the Weisers left Karnei Shomron, moving to Jerusalem to be closer to Roey’s parents and siblings in Efrat. “It was important for us to be near them,” Ruthie said. “To help them through the unimaginable. We could not be far away.” In the months that followed, their own grief remained in the background. It was not because the pain was any less consuming, but because their priority was to support Roey’s parents and siblings. “One of the most painful parts of losing a grandchild,” Ruthie explained, “is watching your child suffer and knowing there is nothing you can do to ease that pain. Every instinct as a parent tells you to fix it. But in this case, you are not what they need. So you stand, quietly, holding them up.” It was at the FIDF Bereaved Families Retreat for grandparents that Ruthie and Andy allowed themselves to grieve out loud. Held in Givat Olga, the retreat brought together grandparents from across Israeli society, from cities to kibbutzim, from religious to secular. Their differences melted away in the face of a shared loss. “There, we were a family,” Ruthie said. “No explanations were needed. Everyone understood. It felt like one long embrace.” The program included music, lectures and support groups designed specifically for grandparents. For many, it was the first time they had spoken openly about their loss. Ruthie still keeps in touch with a grandmother she met during the retreat, a woman she invited to join her for a meal, only to discover that their families had unknowingly crossed paths years earlier. “The sense of warmth, of recognition, gave us the strength to carry on,” Andy said. The couple often reflects on the path that brought them to Israel, including their upbringing, values and devotion to raising their children and now, grandchildren, to lead lives built around purpose and belief. Now it also includes heartbreak. And yet, as Andy said, it includes resilience too. “Even after two years, the pain does not disappear,” Ruthie said softly. “It changes. You learn to live around it. But when someone takes your hand, looks you in the eye and truly understands, that is what FIDF gave us. They saw us.” Their experience was so powerful that the Weisers already plan to return to the FIDF Bereaved Families Retreat for grandparents in November 2025. For the Weisers, the FIDF Bereaved Families Retreat for grandparents did more than offer comfort. It allowed them to grieve. It reminded them that even in the deepest sorrow, they are not alone. Friends of the Israel Defense Forces (FIDF) is dedicated to honoring and supporting the brave men and women of the IDF who risk everything to protect the State of Israel and the Jewish people. While the mission of the IDF’s heroes is to look after Israel, defending its people, borders and freedom, FIDF’s mission is to look after them. FIDF provides life-changing support through education, financial aid, bereavement programs, mental health services and more, ensuring that every soldier, veteran and bereaved family knows they are not alone. Through global partnerships and unwavering commitment, FIDF stands as a pillar of strength for those who sacrifice so much in service to the Jewish homeland.

- Become A Mental Health First Aider - A Lifesaving Skill For Everyone | sun-times
Become A Mental Health First Aider - A Lifesaving Skill For Everyone Jewish Connection News Jun 4, 2025 Every Day, People Around Us Struggle Silently With Mental Health Or Substance Use Challenges. Whether It’s A Colleague Showing Signs Of Burnout, A Friend Battling Depression, Or A Neighbor Facing Addiction, The Signs Are Often There—But Do We Know How To Respond? Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) Training Provides The Answer. On Wednesday, June 11th, 2025, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Goodman Jewish Family Services is offering a free, one-day Adult Mental Health First Aid course to anyone in the community who wants to learn how to identify, understand, and respond to these critical situations. This hands-on training empowers participants with the tools to make a real difference—and even save lives. What Is Mental Health First Aid? Just like CPR teaches you how to respond to a heart attack, Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) teaches you how to support someone experiencing a Mental Health or Substance Use crisis. The training covers everything from recognizing warning signs to providing initial help and guiding the individual toward appropriate support. Participants receive a three-year national certification as a Mental Health First Aider, equipping them to step in during pivotal moments of need. Why This Training Matters The numbers are staggering: nearly 1 in 5 U.S. adults lives with a Mental Illness and over 20 million Americans struggle with Substance Use. Despite these figures, stigma and misunderstanding persist, often keeping people from seeking help. Whether you’re a parent, teacher, friend, manager, or simply a compassionate neighbor, this training is for you. It equips you to notice when someone is in distress and act responsibly without judgment or fear. What You’ll Learn The course is comprehensive, practical and built around real-life scenarios. Here’s what you can expect: • Common signs and symptoms of Mental Illness, including Anxiety, Depression and Schizophrenia. • Warning signs of Substance Use Disorders, such as changes in behavior, mood, or appearance. • How to approach and assist someone in crisis, including those who may be experiencing suicidal thoughts or panic attacks. • How to connect individuals with appropriate resources, from professional help to peer support networks. • Expanded content on trauma, addiction and the importance of self-care for both those giving and receiving help. The backbone of the training is the Mental Health First Aid Action Plan**, also known as ALGEE: 1. Assess for risk of Suicide or harm 2. Listen non-judgmentally 3. Give reassurance and information 4. Encourage appropriate professional help 5. Encourage self-help and other support strategies ALGEE is not just an acronym—it’s a powerful framework that provides clear steps during emotionally charged situations. By participating in MHFA training, you become part of a growing network of informed and compassionate individuals dedicated to building a more supportive community. A Community Effort This upcoming session is more than just a course—it’s a community-building opportunity. You’ll connect with fellow residents who care about Mental Wellness and want to contribute positively to the lives of others. Goodman Jewish Family Services is proud to offer this training free of charge** as part of their commitment to improving Mental Health Awareness and accessibility in the region. The June 11th training will be held in person from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and is open to all adults. Space is limited, so early registration is encouraged. To sign up, visit: https://bit.lv/3YhWtiD For questions or more information, email: MHFA@ifsbroward.org Mental Health is just as vital as Physical Health—and just like we’re taught to bandage a wound or perform CPR, we must also learn how to support those facing invisible injuries. Mental Health First Aid provides the education, language and confidence to act with empathy and effectiveness. Take the first step. Attend the training. Be the one who knows what to do when it matters most. Previous Next

- Securing Your Network - Creating A Safe Home Wi-Fi Environment | sun-times
Securing Your Network - Creating A Safe Home Wi-Fi Environment By Family Features Mar 26, 2026 If You're Like Most People, You Likely Use Your Home Internet To Pay Bills, Shop Online, Send Emails, Watch Movies And More. With Everything From Smartphones And Laptops To Security Systems And Thermostats Connected To Your Home's Wi-Fi, Protecting Your Network Is Vital To Keeping Your Personal Information Secure. Much the same as locking your front door to help protect your valuables inside, ensuring your wireless network is secure can help safeguard personal information like account passwords and credit card numbers and protect your devices from cyber threats. Consider these tips to create a secure online environment. Understand Wi-Fi Security Protocols By understanding different Wi-Fi security protocols, you can make informed decisions to protect your network and prevent unauthorized access. There are several protocols available, including WEP (wired equivalent privacy), WPA (Wi-Fi protected access) and WPA2 (Wi-Fi protected access 2). WPA2 is currently the most secure option and should be used whenever possible. Set a Strong Password By setting a strong Wi-Fi password, you can significantly reduce the risk of unauthorized access to your network. Your password should be long, complex and unique. Avoid using common words or easily guessable combinations. Consider using a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers and special characters. Enable Network Encryption Network encryption adds an extra layer of security to your Wi-Fi network. Encryption scrambles the data transmitted between your devices and the router, making it unreadable to unauthorized users. To enable network encryption, access your router's settings and look for the encryption options. Choose the strongest encryption protocol available - either WPA2-PSK (pre-shared key) or WPA3 - and enter a strong password to ensure your network is protected from eavesdropping and unauthorized access. Enhance Network Security with MAC Address Filtering MAC Address Filtering is an additional security measure that can help prevent unauthorized devices from connecting to your Wi-Fi network. Every network device has a unique MAC (media access control) address, which can be used to control access to your network. To set up MAC Address Filtering and create a whitelist of allowed devices that can connect to your network, access your router's settings and enter the MAC addresses of the devices you want to allow in the filtering section. Update Router Software Router manufacturers regularly release firmware updates to fix security vulnerabilities and improve performance. To update your router's software and reduce the risk of unauthorized network access, check the manufacturer's website or your router's administration interface for available updates. Follow the instructions to download and install the latest firmware. Find more cybersecurity tips to protect yourself online at: www.eLivingtoday.com .

- Fluke Martini & Crudo Bar Debuts - Miami Beach's Beloved Italian Hotspot Turned A Stroke Of Luck Into A Seafood-Driven Small Plates And Cocktail Bar | sun-times
Fluke Martini & Crudo Bar Debuts - Miami Beach's Beloved Italian Hotspot Turned A Stroke Of Luck Into A Seafood-Driven Small Plates And Cocktail Bar Aventura Digest Jun 18, 2025 What Began As A "Fluke" Is Now Fluke. This Spring, The Team Behind Macchialina—One Of The City's Most Beloved Italian Restaurants—Is Turning The Tides On Alton Road, This Time With A Bolder, Brinier Approach. Stationed In Macchialina's Original Indoor Space, Fluke, An Elevated Oyster And Crudo Bar With A Bold Cocktail Program Is Casting A New Net For Miami Beach Dwellers With A Hankering For Fresh Fish. Inspired By The Travels And Epicurean Adventures Of Award-Winning Hospitality Mavens, Executive Chef Michael Pirolo, And Managing Partners Jennifer Chaefsky And Jacqueline Pirolo, Fluke Blends The Simplicity Of Quality Seafood With A Laid-Back, Self-Service Format, Offering A New Way To Dine In A Familiar Space. "Twelve years ago, we never could have imagined the success Macchialina would achieve,” says Chef Michael Pirolo. “What started as ‘the little restaurant that wouldn't quit’ turned into a 5,600-square foot expansion with a newfound opportunity to build on our roots and bring Fluke to life. This stroke of luck is how we landed on the name 'Fluke' – it’s a celebration of those happy coincidences that aligned perfectly to make this exciting new chapter possible.” At Fluke, the cavernous warmth and timeless exposed brick of Macchialina are preserved, while a moody black marble bar adds a striking refresh. This transformation to an oyster bar concept is evident in both the menu and the ambiance—dimly lit, effortlessly elegant, where freshly shucked oysters and chilled martinis set the tone. The self-service model invites guests to mark their selections on petite paper menus, offering a laid-back, interactive dining experience with elevated eats and perfectly paired libations. Cocktail servers will deliver drinks while the kitchen, helmed by Chef de cuisine and Uchi alum, Trevor Zwaan, focuses on churning out a rotating selection of crudo preparations and crispy-fried crustaceans. Overseeing day-to-day operations is Manager Samantha Harris, who joined the Macchialina team in November 2023. “The idea was to reimagine the OG indoor space at Macchialina for the community that’s supported us for over a decade while bringing a fun and fresh idea to the neighborhood. No reservations—just drop in for a martini and oysters or stay for a full meal. The menu is refined yet still approachable, staying true to what Macchialina has always been about: great food, electric atmosphere and zero pretense” says Jacqueline Pirolo. On the menu, guests can look forward to crudo standouts like Fluke with tomato guazzetto and baby caponata, Madai (Japanese Sea Bream) with plum vinaigrette and Thai chili, and Branzino with artichoke gremolata, citrus oil, and preserved lemon. Fried favorites include rosemary salt-dusted Hand-Cut Fries with senape sauce, Fried Mussels Marinara, and Fried Shrimp with artichoke remoulade. The Big Macch Burger, previously a coveted off-menu special, has a permanent place on the menu—boasting a perfect beef-to-bun ratio, melty Fontina cheese, mushrooms, and absolutely no ketchup. “We wanted to do seafood the way we love to eat it—simple, high-quality, and always inspired.” says chef Michael Pirolo. “We’re bringing that same philosophy to Fluke; it’s all about letting the ingredients shine without overcomplicating things. Miami Beach has incredible access to fresh seafood, and we’re excited to give it the love and respect it deserves, but with our own spin.” Jacqueline Pirolo’s wine list marks a departure from Macchialina’s famously all-Italian selection, embracing clean, natural, and biodynamic wines. Guests can expect French whites, light-bodied reds, and plenty of bubbles, with highlights like Loire Valley Chenin Blanc, chilled Beaujolais, and Champagne. Complementing the martini-focused cocktail program—developed by Oren Drori under Pirolo’s direction—is a curated selection of sherry and dry Marsala, nodding to Southern European drinking traditions. Drori, formerly of Beaker & Grey, led the beverage program at Macchialina for a year and also developed the cocktail menu at Bar Bucce. Fluke will also host the Lucky $7 Martini Happy Hour from 5:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m., featuring a selection of martinis for just seven dollars. The small but expertly curated beverage program reflects Fluke’s coastal essence, offering ocean-inspired libations designed to highlight the delicate flavors of the sea. Fluke opened on Wednesday May 21st, 2025 at 820 Alton Road, Miami Beach, Florida 33139. Fluke will not be taking reservations, seating is first come, first served.
