Welcome to Ambrosia: South Florida’s Hottest Hookah Lounge and Bar By Austin Torres July 28, 2021 Share When it comes to once in a lifetime nightlife experiences, there are few locations in South Florida that do it as well as Amir Boctor’s Ambrosia Hookah Lounge and Bar. This upscale lounge is a one-of-a-kind venue that synthesizes the best elements of the hottest nightclubs as well as the most successful lounges to create a unique experience that not only makes it a staple of the Hallandale community, but also an innovative venue distinctly different from any of its competitors. In 2019, Amir had taken notice of the growing popularity of hookah lounges and bars in South Florida and realized that they were missing the deep traditions and roots of hookah culture and the lack of upscale hookah lounges. Recalling his home town in Cairo, a communal environment that offered comfort and a sense of unity, he began to envision a different kind of hookah lounge that would embody those same values. In 2019, Amir brought that vision to life and Ambrosia was born. The product of meticulous planning and deep emotional investment, Ambrosia is a conceptual hookah lounge forged on the hybridization of authentic traditions, innovation, and the ability to submerge the senses in delight. As soon as you enter Ambrosia, you are immersed in a unique ambience. A tastefully decorated gorgeous Moroccan Motif and stunning light fixtures and seating areas epitomize comfort and class, while creating an environment that’s perfect for unwinding, socializing, and having an overall great time. To create an authentic feel, all fabrics and furniture materials were hand selected, and custom designed and imported from Egypt, giving guests a uniquely exotic sense of location. Lamps and chandeliers were also imported from Egypt and beautifully compliment the décor, providing warm and inviting lighting. The wall art at Ambrosia was brilliantly crafted over several days of laborious painting by a local artist, and the result is a multi-layered masterpiece, rich in depth and color. One of the things that makes Ambrosia so different from other Hookah lounges, is the impressive way in which they are able to balance the more relaxing and laid-back elements of a typical hookah lounge with the lively and energetic ambience of the nightclub scene. The warm and friendly accommodating staff go above and beyond to ensure that each guest is treated like family. You will find that Ambrosia is best suited for casual socialization from 8 PM-10 PM. “8-10 on Monday and Tuesday is the best time to chill, and converse with friends,” says Amir, “We’re also offering Happy Hour 2 for 1 on wine and champagne by the glass, and beers.” For those of you looking for a relaxing spot to come hangout for a couple hours and catch up with friends while enjoying any one of several drinks served at the illustrious Ambrosia Hookah Lounge, come by during these times to decompress after a long work day and have some laughs. The drink menu at Ambrosia features a wide variety of carefully selected choices, ranging from delicious affordable wines and fine wines to Vintage champagnes. You can choose from Ruby Red Rose from the South of France, Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand, or Caymus Cabernet from Napa Valley or you can treat yourself to Don Perignon Brut or Vintage Don Perignon Rose, as well as many more. Naturally, Ambrosia is renowned for its hookahs and tobacco. Here you will only find reasonably priced top shelf products. Ambrosia provides a wide variety of highly coveted Russian Tobacco brands such as Element, with numerous flavors to choose from. House blends are crafted by Hookah Master and Alchemist, Vlad, who dedicates himself to bringing you an exotic mix of flavors and sensorial delights and can accommodate any taste or flavor. You will find that Ambrosia uses only the highest quality Hookah’s imported from Russia that deliver the ultimate smoking experience including but not limited to; Alpha Hookah, Mattpear Hookah, and Mexanika. Music picks up and the party starts to get hot after 10 pm, all the way to 2 am every night (currently Ambrosia is in the process of getting a nightclub license that will allow it to remain open until 6 AM, stay tuned for the announcement). On Wednesday’s, Ambrosia hosts a highly successful Karaoke night featuring songs in a variety of languages. And from Thursday to Friday Ambrosia features a live DJ who comes on after 10 pm. “It’s a friendly spot for everyone to gather and have a good time with friends,” said Amir. Ambrosia also hosts a variety of events and on Saturdays, the party reaches its pinnacle. Every week it’s a surprise; you might find belly dancers, go-go dancers, drummers, or aerial acrobatics at this lively venue. Ambrosia is an ideal venue to celebrate your birthday or any special occasion as many of their customers currently do. Whatever the event is, there’s no shortage of fun at Ambrosia. Most recently, they hosted a magical acrobatic show for the 4th of July, featuring cirque de soleil performers. At Ambrosia, you’ll also find a variety of delectable bites with options to choose from gourmet meats and cheeses, and seasonal fruit platters. Try their Chef’s Sampler platter, a delicious mix of smoked salmon, cream cheese, cherry tomatoes sundried tomatoes, truffle cheese, shrimp with blue crab spread and pineapple or any one of their delicious deserts from tiramisu to a triple layer panna cota. You can also purchase any one of a variety of vapes from popular brands HQD and Juucy, as well as cigarettes from Marlboro and Camel as well as other popular brands. If you’re interested in learning more about Ambrosia, you can visit their Instagram page at: @ambrosiaflofficial or you can contact them at: 754.209.5787. Ambrosia is also available for private events and reservations are highly recommended on Friday’s and Saturday’s. But don’t take our word for it, you can also check out customer testimonials on google and see all the wonderful things guests have to say about Ambrosia. Here’s what guests have to say about Ambrosia: “One of the best places to go at night, nice music and professional service, drinks and hookah are great, highly recommended to anyone” M.E. “Great place! Hookah is next level; high quality and the service is even better! Vlad really knows his stuff and makes a great hookah!” S.K. Ambrosia is open for business Monday - Sunday 8 PM-2AM and store owner Amir is eager to take care of all your needs. “I’m always here to greet all my customers and make sure they have an experience that is unmatched,” said Amir. Located in the 409 Plaza, Ambrosia Hookah Lounge and Café 409 W Hallandale Beach Blvd, Suite #411, Hallandale Beach, FL 33009. < Previous News Next News >

Dr. Jessica Cismas Improves Smiles, Facial Structure and Health with Advanced Cosmetic Dentistry October 21, 2021 Share Dr. Jessica Cismas is a general and cosmetic dentist. With more than 57,000 patients to her credit in private practice and clinics throughout the United States and Canada, she has been recognized throughout her profession for her remarkable dexterity, artistic skills and gentle, kind approach Dr. Cismas earned her DMD (Doctor of Medical Dentistry) in 2005 from University of Montreal and completed her GPR (General Practice Residency) in 2006 from McGill University. Immediately after completing her schooling, she moved to Manhattan, where she worked for 12 years in diverse dental offices, for the purpose of acquiring a wide range of unique experiences. She continues to participate regularly in weekly dental group studies and attends more than double the required continuing education classes annually to keep abreast of the latest technology and innovative procedures in her field. During her 16-year career, Dr. Cismas has performed thousands of procedures that include veneers, tooth bonding, teeth bleaching, crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, emergency treatments, root canals, fillings, extractions, night guards, flippers, Valplast® partial and full dentures, periodontal treatment and implant restorative care. She also completed many treatments using FirstFit®, Invisalign®, Clear Correct® and Snap-On Smiles®. Dr. Cismas uses cutting edge technology incorporating digital dentistry on a daily basis. However, her true passion is cosmetic dentistry. Many patients are referred to her for challenging aesthetic problems. Some of them are patients who are not satisfied with previous cosmetic procedures; others are simply curious as to how they can improve their smile. “Technology has removed a lot of guess work in dentistry,” says Dr. Cismas, but in cosmetic dentistry, a keen sense of artistry must be applied for the ultimate aesthetic effect. I only use the best materials, equipment and team with the top labs in the country to achieve the best results.” Through her weekly online consults with dental groups around the world, Dr. Cismas is exposed to ever-changing new approaches and techniques and she will update current procedures in her practice as indicated. In her calm and compassionate manner, once Dr. Cismas carefully has explained the problem to her patient, she will present several corrective options that can work, allowing for the patient to make his or her own decision. “It’s important for patients to understand the problem and take the time to make the right choice for themselves, based on their personal priorities,” she adds. Dr. Cismas has been part of Aventura Dental Group since 2017. She works very closely with the periodontists in her office to methodically plan implant and periodontal surgery and treatment. “Quite often patients appear with improperly placed implants, because the practitioner did not have an overall plan in mind for a final restoration of the mouth. Consequently, gum problems can occur and the implant may need to be removed and replaced,” says Dr. Cismas. “That’s the benefit of evaluating the situation along with the periodontist.” When teeth are being treated or broken teeth repaired, Dr. Cismas pays particular attention to occlusion, defined as the meeting of the upper and lower teeth. “Correct occlusion of a patient’s bite is important whether simply filling a tooth or performing a full mouth reconstruction,” she says. Because this is such a significant concern in good dentistry, Dr. Cismas went above and beyond to complete a year-long specialty course just on occlusion. “Typical presentations of occlusion problems are worn down, aging or broken teeth.” says Dr Cismas. “This damage can cause loss of a patient’s facial vertical dimension. As the patient’s bite slowly collapses, the jaw reacts by closing more than it should, which affects alignment of the teeth, lips and other facial features. Results could include flattened upper and lower lips, wrinkling and droopy, folding facial skin, especially in the corners of the lips.” Dr. Cismas notes that these are the facial changes that contribute to an aging appearance! “The solution in this situation is to open the patient’s bite in order to restore it to how it was in the past or even improve it. By restoring the bite, Dr. Cismas says that facial structure improves. Premature wrinkles can be stretched over an improved alignment. With better support, lips can appear fuller, lessening the need for Botox and fillers. “A collapsed bite can be corrected with metal braces or clear plastic liners such as Invisalign®, veneers, inlays, onlays, crowns, bridges and/or implants” says Dr. Cismas. “Length of time and cost will depend on the severity of the problem, condition of the mouth and how long the abnormality has been present. It is really important to make these corrections at any age from a health and cosmetic perspective and the extra benefit definitely is a more youthful appearance and sense of well-being.” Dr. Cismas’ online ratings are 5-star. William Ellingsworth summed it up in his review by saying “I never met a nicer, more humble, sincere, caring professional as Dr. Jessica Cismas. Her technique and chairside manner is first class and second to none. Her exam was thorough and thoughtful. Her assessment made perfect sense and she explained everything to me in detail, leaving no questions unanswered.” “Cosmetic surgery is an art form,” says Dr. Cismas. “I have many patients who have visited me from Europe and South America for corrective work. Referrals seem to have gone far. Comfort and open communication is also a key player in my patient interaction." “I treat everyone as though they are family. Also, I must love the finished product myself before I will even show the patient the result. My patient’s satisfaction is definitely my best reward!” As if her days are not full enough, this remarkable woman enjoys spending her non-professional time at home with her husband Marius, four growing boys and a brand new baby girl.

A New Era Begins At Chaya Aydel Seminary (CAS) South Florida Sun Times Apr 23, 2026 A New Era Is Set To Begin At Chaya Aydel Seminary (CAS), With Mrs. Shana Wolf And Rabbi Shalom Wolf Serving As Its Directors. As Chaya Aydel Seminary of Hallandale, Florida prepares for its 25th year of excellence, exciting changes are underway. Rabbi Yossi Lebovics, Principal of CAS, has announced that beginning this fall—marking the start of the seminary’s 25th year—Mrs. Shana Wolf and Rabbi Shalom Wolf will assume their new roles as directors of the seminary. For the past six years, Mrs. Wolf has served as Assistant Principal, while Rabbi Wolf has been the Director of Development. Moving forward, they will take on a significantly expanded leadership role as directors of the seminary. “This is big news and an important milestone,” said Rabbi Raphael Tennenhaus, Dean of the seminary and Head Shliach of Chabad of South Broward. “Shana was just a young girl when CAS opened its doors in 2002 and knows firsthand the impact the seminary has had on its students and the community.” “The next generation of CAS students will benefit from the fresh, youthful energy that Rabbi and Mrs. Wolf bring,” added Rabbi Moshe Schwartz, longtime Administrator of Chabad of South Broward and CAS. “Working with Shana and Shalom over the past six years has been a delight and has contributed greatly to the success of CAS,” said Rabbi Lebovics. “It is time for the Wolfs to take on an even greater leadership role as we enter the next stage of Chaya Aydel Seminary. I look forward to partnering with them for many years to come.” Mrs. Shana Wolf has contributed tremendously to the success of the seminary in recent years. She is available to students to discuss their progress and personal growth, both during their time in seminary and beyond, while ensuring that their physical and spiritual needs are met during this critical year of development and transformation. The Wolfs’ involvement has further strengthened the well-earned reputation of Chaya Aydel Seminary, which has, for decades, provided a wholesome seminary experience and an excellent education in a warm and caring environment. The CAS curriculum focuses on developing strong middos and essential life skills needed to lead a successful life as a Bas Chabad and a Jewish woman.

Fox Vein and Laser Experts September 9, 2021 Share For years, Fox Vein and Laser Experts has been at the forefront of vein therapy and laser procedures. Around five years ago, Dr. Fox expanded the practice to include many non-invasive cutting-edge procedures such as microneedling, tattoo removal, hydrofacials, PRP, hair restoration, skin rejuvenation, peels, lasers and so much more. Fox Vein & Laser Experts has been an industry leader through the years, with the best equipment and services offered. In recent times, the practice has expanded, now offering even more cutting-edge treatments. They are one of the first practices in the United States to offer Physiq and Virtue RF, two machines by Cartessa Aesthetics that provide FDA-approved, safe and non-invasive treatments that require little to no down time, aimed to help you look your very best. Physiq is the best in non-invasive body treatments to rid you of those hard-to-treat areas that weight loss and diet leave untouched. This new state-of-the-art machine uses four pads to treat multiple areas of the body at once, resulting in a leaner, more sleek and toned physique. This pain-free treatment is highly effective and has no down-time, unlike plastic surgery procedures like tummy tucks and liposuction. No anesthetic is necessary, and it is extremely effective and affordable. Many other body contouring machines in the industry are extremely uncomfortable and do not always have the best results. Physiq is the first to use STEP technology (Sequential Thermal and Electrical Pulse) muscle stimulation with laser lipolysis in a sequential manner with contact cooling. The patient can actually control the energy and comfort level themselves, which is the main reason why the procedure is relatively pain-free and requires no down time. It can treat multiple body parts at once, including the inner thighs, buttocks, abdominals and flanks, just to name a few. The machine, made for Cartessa by Europe’s leading laser manufacturer, Deka, is already being hailed as the newest and best in body contouring, and will quickly become an industry leader. Experts recommend five sessions, each spaced one week apart, for optimal results. The treatment sessions are faster and more comfortable than other body contouring machines. Fox Vein & Laser Experts is now offering Physiq at its Hollywood location. Fox Vein & Laser Experts is also one of the first in the country to offer the Virtue RF. This machine takes microneedling to a whole new level. It is faster, more customizable, and less painful than its predecessors. This machine uses 36 gold coated needles at one of three treatment speeds with robotic precision delivery to provide the best microneedling radiofrequency treatment in the industry. It provides immediate results with little to no down time. The results improve over time as your body continues to build collagen and elastin to improve your appearance. It is used to shrink pore size, help skin laxity, improve fine lines and wrinkles, build collagen and elastin, improve scars, especially those caused by acne, and help improve the appearance of stretch marks. It can also be used with PRP or a proprietary stem cell system to help with hair loss. Only the Virtue RF pairs the treatment with LED red or blue light to help with acne or signs of aging. The facial treatments can be followed by a microcurrent dual face mask system by Franz Skincare. This mask uses ion currents and patented Tissue X technology to transport the nourishing substances deeper into the dermis, where they help the most. The other amazing aspect of the Virtue machine is the ability to completely turn off the radiofrequency if desired. This is very helpful when we are microneedling for hair loss or on patients who have defibrillators or pacemakers. These FDA-approved machines are at the forefront of new and innovative less invasive, less painful treatment options that help you look your best for years to come. Fox Vein & Laser Experts also offers the best in tattoo removal, using Picoway by Candela. In those cases where someone may regret getting a tattoo, hope is not lost. This machine is the best tattoo removal laser on the market. It can also be used to treat benign pigmented lesions, discolorations, scars and more. The laser uses Picosecond pulses of light in various wavelengths and vibrational energy to remove the ink or benign pigmented lesions. It comes in various wavelengths to adequately treat various colors of ink and melanin on any color skin. The photo-acoustic effect minimizes the injury to the skin and tissues to just the lesion or area being treated. Tattoos and discolorations can be removed faster and with less pain than older treatments. In addition to tattoo removal, the laser can also be used for skin rejuvenation. It has a separate hand piece, known as Resolve by Picoway, which can help with fine lines and wrinkles, as well as signs of aging like darkening and age spots. The laser also helps refine tummy tuck scars, breast scars and facial scars. “We originally added the Picoway to help people rid themselves of discoloration related to their vein issues, but we use it for so much more,” said Dr. Fox. Aside from vein procedures, Fox Vein & Laser Experts also performs hair restoration with microneedling and PRP or stem cell serums. They have been a primary center in a hair regrowth trial using microneedling and AnteAge stem cell serums. The Virtue RF microneedling machine makes 36 micro-holes in the scalp with each pass. These channels allow the PRP and stem cells to be better absorbed in the areas that it is needed. Fox Vein & Laser Experts is completing a funded study of hair restoration, and so far, have seen amazing results. The patients have noticed thicker hair, even after the first few treatments. The study was designed as a six-month trial, with patients coming in every two weeks for three months, then only once monthly. In between visits, the patients are instructed to use a hair care formula by AnteAge at home. Before and after photos have been taken, which visually show the success rate. “Many people have struggled with thinning hair and hair loss from stress, aging, medications, Covid-19, illness, etc., and this has been so helpful," said Dr. Fox. Fox Vein & Laser Experts also has a full-time aesthetician on staff, Samantha. She has experience providing peels, facials, and laser hair removal for more than a decade. She performs all types of cutting-edge facials, peels, jelly masks, hydrofacials, aquagold and more. Samantha is here to help make your skin look and feel youthful and amazing, regardless of your age. Whatever your skin and body goals, Samantha can help you achieve them.

One Stop Construction: Guiding You Through Your Projects From Conception to Completion January 13, 2022 Share The One Stop team, as their name suggests, worked to create a one-stop business that offers everything in house. From pools and wall decorative stones, to interior renovations and structural damage repair. One Stop Construction ensures that all staff on board are fit for the task by dedicating time to the individual client and their specific needs. In all areas of construction, management and production, Jesus Velazquez and his team at One Stop Construction Inc. are celebrated for their in-depth expertise and professionalism. For over 18 years they’ve been serving the South Florida community, approaching each construction project with meticulous care and unrivaled efficiency. Velazquez has been operating One Stop Construction Inc. for 18 years. In that time he and his company have performed and completed a wide and varied range of projects across South Florida. Their level of expertise in new construction and renovation is detailed and comprehensive, all the while communicating with all clients throughout different phases of each project. So what exactly makes them so unique? One Stop Construction is actually one of the only construction companies that give you on the spot estimates for the cost of a project. “Depending on how simple the project is we can even give them a rough estimate over the phone just to make sure they have realistic expectations,” Velazquez said. Velazquez and his team got into the construction business because they wanted to simplify and streamline the construction process for as many people as they could. So not only do they offer on the spot estimates, but they also provide all of the design work in house as well. Anyone can now create the home or business space they have always desired with services from the general contractors at One Stop Construction, Inc. As a full service General Contractor, you’ll have experts with you every step of the way. The reason this is so valuable is that you can conform the design to the budget from the very beginning and not the other way around. If a client has a project in mind that falls out of their budget, One Stop will advise and course correct in the early stages of design so no time is wasted. In this way One Stop Construction set out to irrevocably change the landscape of construction and create a more efficient way to get projects completed. The problem as they saw it was how complex and often counter productive the current process was for getting any construction or renovation work done was for people. Those looking to get construction work done traditionally have to get their designs and renderings from another architect, individual designer or entity. This tends to create issues for the clients when they realize the design they envisioned is unaffordable and out of reach. The biggest problem, as Velazquez sees it, is the disconnect between the design, the designer and contracting costs. “Usually the design individual or entity doesn’t have an accurate pulse on the numbers,” Velazquez said. “So what will happen is, we’ll go out to quote something based on the architectural plans and design rendering and when we give them the price it’s completely out of their budget.” That’s why Velazquez and the One Stop team, as their name suggests, worked to create a one-stop business that offers everything in house. That way, they can guide their clients through the whole process from conception to completion and ensure the best quality project for a reasonable and cost efficient price. “We tell them, ‘Look, this is roughly the range you can expect to pay for this project.’ We do this with regards to everything from design, to permits, to construction. So that allows for a realistic understanding of whether they can move forward with the project or not,” said Velazquez. Furthermore, they focus on working with only products and equipment with the highest quality, as well as the best subcontractors and well-known designers from around the world. The customer experience is always the primary concern and One Stop aspires to deliver the best results possible. They specialize in new construction for residential and commercial projects, which include Custom Homes, Shopping Centers, Community Developments and full remodeling and retrofit of existing structures. From pools and wall decorative stones, to interior renovations and structural damage repair, One Stop Construction ensures that all staff on board are fit for the task by dedicating time to the individual client and their specific needs. In this way, Velazquez and his team guarantee that the client can get the perfect renovation, construction, or repair at an affordable price without wasting their time on multiple contractors for one project. One Stop Construction has its clients in mind at all times. Their price estimates that are written within 24 to 48 hours and if the customer feels uncomfortable with in-person meetings, they also offer video conference calls to minimize contact. Their diverse and proactive team is focused on discovering the solution that serves the client. They have multifaceted expertise in a wide range of projects and methods of execution that help them complete projects on time and with care. Using a combination of both time-proven and cutting-edge methods, they work to ensure their client’s projects are executed to their full potential. For them, projects are not just buildings and construction is not just a job. These are clients' plans for the future. They are goals to be achieved with the utmost care. “The most enjoyable part of this job is seeing the joy in someone having a pleasant experience in an industry saturated with non-professionals,” Velazquez said. Seeing someone happy with not only the end result but the overall experience is what makes it worth it.” You can reach them by phone at: (305)442-2799 or on their website: www.onestopconstruction.com < Previous News Next News >

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.
