Work Life Balance: Floridians Could Tolerate A 44.4 Hour Work Week, Study Reveals May 11, 2023 Share In today's fast-paced world, many of us struggle to find balance between our work lives and personal lives. The demands of our jobs often leave us feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and burnt out. However, with the right strategies and mindset, achieving work-life balance is possible. Achieving work-life balance is crucial for maintaining our Mental and Physical Health. Studies have shown that excessive work hours can lead to Stress, Depression, and burnout, which can negatively impact our overall well being. On the other hand, spending time with family and engaging in hobbies and other leisure activities can increase our happiness and sense of fulfillment. One of the most important steps in achieving work-life balance is prioritizing self-care. This means making time for activities that promote our Physical and Mental Health, such as exercise, meditation, and spending time outdoors. By taking care of ourselves, we are better equipped to handle the demands of our jobs and personal lives. In South Korea, a country known for its strong work ethic, a recent proposal to raise the maximum workweek from 52 to 69 hours has sparked a heated controversy between younger workers and the government over work-life balance. Despite the government's claim that the increase in overtime would provide workers with more freedom, better quality of life, and increased family time, the proposal has faced significant opposition. It prompted Law Firm Bisnar Chase to gauge American workers’ appetite for longer working hours. The firm commissioned QuestionPro to carry out a Survey of 3,000 employees to determine their willingness to work longer hours. Interestingly, the average worker in Florida said they could tolerate a 44.4 hour standard work week. This is 4.4 hours more than the current average work week of 40 hours. Nationally, Americans said they would be prepared to work 44.4 hours. Workers in Delaware have the highest working thresholds, saying they could handle a 47.5 hour work week. On the other end of the scale, Montanan’s would reluctantly accept an increase of 1 hour, taking them up to 41 hours in total. Bisnar Chase sought to delve deeper into people’s attitudes about working hours and more specifically, how they would react to potential government changes to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The Survey results showed that two-thirds of respondents believe that the government has struck an appropriate balance with the current system. When presented with a hypothetical scenario in which they could retire earlier in life by working a longer work week, 60% indicated their willingness to make such a trade-off. Although an increase in the workweek may initially cause shock, some Survey respondents recognized potential benefits. Specifically, 83% cited increased pay as the biggest advantage, with 13% believing that they would be better able to achieve their professional goals, and a small minority of 4% stating that they could improve relationships with their colleagues. However, 45% said the biggest downside to working more hours would be the risk to their Mental and Physical Health. Over one-third would worry about the reduced time they could spend with family & friends, and 12% would be concerned about not being able to pursue hobbies and interests away from work. Finally, the Survey found that a significant portion would strongly oppose any increase in the nation's working hours, with over half stating that they would participate in street protests to demonstrate their opposition to the new Law. "Extending the 40-hour workweek would undoubtedly trigger an intense backlash from employees. Not only would they be forced to spend more time at work, but they would also have less time to devote to their families, hobbies, and other pursuits outside of work. This could lead to increased Stress, burnout, and other Mental Health Issues, ultimately eroding both employee well-being and organizational productivity. Employers must recognize that work-life balance is not a luxury but a necessity, and that respecting employees' time and energy is critical to creating a healthy and sustainable workplace culture" says Brian Chase of Bisnar Chase. < Previous News Next News >

JFR Joins Edmonds Family At White House Event Giving Medal Of Honor To Master Sergeant Roddie Edmonds For Saving Jewish Servicemen Jewish Connection News Mar 17, 2026 The Jewish Foundation For The Righteous (JFR) Joins The Edmonds Family And The Survivors And Descendants Of Stalag Ixa In Celebrating Master Sergeant Roddie Edmonds Posthumously Receiving The Medal Of Honor This Week At White House And Department Of War Programs. The JFR Was One Of The First Organizations To Recognize Edmonds’ World War II Heroism, Honoring Him Posthumously With The Foundation’s Yehi Or (Let There Be Light) Award In 2016. Master Sergeant Edmonds was captured by the Nazis during the Battle of the Bulge on December 19, 1944, and sent to Stalag IXA, a prisoner of war camp. As the highest-ranking American soldier in the camp, Edmonds was responsible for 1,292 American POWs, including approximately 200 Jewish American GIs. When the camp’s commandant ordered Edmonds to identify the Jewish soldiers for separation, Edmonds refused. Placing a pistol against his head, the commandant again demanded that the Jewish soldiers step forward. Edmonds responded, “We are all Jews here,” refusing to identify them and thereby saving their lives. Edmonds survived 100 days of captivity and returned home after the war, never speaking of his actions. He passed away in 1985, and it was only decades later that his son, Pastor Chris Edmonds, uncovered the full extent of his father’s heroism. In addition to presenting Edmonds with its Yehi Or Award, the JFR produced its award-winning documentary Footsteps of My Father, which recounts Edmonds’ courage through the lens of his son and several of the Jewish American POWs he saved. The film has screened globally and received numerous honors, helping to bring Edmonds’ story to audiences in the United States and abroad. His heroism has also been recognized by Yad Vashem, which named him Righteous Among the Nations, the only American soldier to receive that distinction. Master Sergeant Edmonds’ story is prominently featured in the JFR’s nationally recognized Holocaust education program on rescue and moral courage. Educators across the country study his actions as a powerful example of leadership, conscience and responsibility in the face of evil. Through teacher seminars, student curricula and public events including documentary screenings, the JFR highlights Master Sergeant Edmonds’ moral clarity and willingness to risk his life for others as a timeless model of heroism. His story continues to inspire students and educators alike, reinforcing the enduring lesson that one individual’s courage can save lives and shape history. “For years, the Jewish Foundation for the Righteous has worked to ensure that Master Sergeant Edmonds’ extraordinary courage and moral leadership would not be forgotten,” said JFR Executive Vice President Stanlee Stahl, who attended the ceremony in Washington. “The awarding of the Medal of Honor affirms what the survivors of Stalag IXA have long known, that his actions represent the highest standard of bravery, humanity and responsibility.” The JFR continues its work of providing monthly financial assistance to aged and needy Righteous Gentiles living in 10 countries. Since its founding, the JFR has provided more than $46 Million to aged and needy rescuers. Its Holocaust teacher education program has become a standard for teaching the history of the Holocaust and educating teachers and students about the significance of the Righteous as moral and ethical exemplars.

Doo Wop & Magic At The Cultural Center: Aventura Has A Great Line Up In Store The Month March 14, 2024 Share The City of Aventura Presents The Doo Wop Project featuring the Broadway stars of Jersey Boys, Motown: The Musical and other blockbusters on Thursday, March 21st at 8:00 p.m. Bringing unparalleled authenticity of sound and vocal excellence, the cast recreates — and in some cases entirely reimagines — the greatest music in American Pop and Rock History. The Doo Wop Project traces the evolution of Doo Wop from the classic sound of five guys singing harmonies on a street corner to the biggest hits on the radio today. The set list includes the foundational tunes from the Crests, Belmonts and Flamingos through the vocal artistry of Smokey Robinson, The Temptations and The Four Seasons all the way to “DooWopified” versions of modern hits from Michael Jackson, Jason Mraz, Maroon 5 and Sam Smith. In a review of a performance, Maryland Theatre Guide reported, “The focus is to keep this amazing music with its glorious harmonies alive. The group covers Doo Wop’s heyday but also experiments with incorporating that style of music into contemporary numbers to reach a younger audience – they “Doo wop-ify” the songs. And it succeeds brilliantly.” The Doo Wop Project’s one hour PBS special, produced by Detroit Public Television, debuted in June of 2022 and such a hit with fans it aired on a whopping 88% of all PBS stations nationwide. Bill Blagg Live: By popular demand, The City of Aventura brings back The Magic of Bill Blagg Live! for two performances on Saturday, March 16th at 2:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. Hailed by the Chicago Tribune as “absolutely incredible,” Blagg makes objects float in mid-air and vanish in the blink of an eye all with trademark off-the-cuff personality. With interactive magic and jaw-dropping illusions, Blagg will once again have audiences rubbing their eyes in disbelief. After receiving his first professional magic book from his great-grandfather, Blagg started building magic props with his father. Today, he is one of the nation's top touring illusionists priding himself in performing new, never-before-seen illusions such as the world's only rideable hoverboard. Other amazing illusions include teleporting across theaters, squishing his body from 6 feet to 6 inches tall and passing through the blades of an industrial fan.

In 2024, ORQUÍDEAS launched Uchis’ career to new heights. Her highest charting album to date (debuting at #2 on the Billboard 200), the critically adored record — which was her fourth album overall and second in Spanish — was led by crossover singles like the Platinum-certified “Igual Que un Ángel”with Peso Pluma (#1 on Hot Latin Songs, #23 on the Hot 100) and Gold-certified “Labios Mordidos” with KAROL G(#10 on Hot Latin Songs, #97 on the Hot 100).

The set closed the year on numerous “Best Albums” lists, racking up glowing praise from countless outlets including Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Complex, and The New York Times. Amid consistent acclaim and honors — including nine GRAMMY®-nominations and a 2021 win in the category of Best Dance Song for her appearance on Kaytranada’s “10%”— Uchis’ major breakthrough came with her own 2021 smash hit “telepatía,” which has been streamed more than 2 billion times to date and was the Hot 100’s longest running Spanish-language song by a solo act this decade with a 23-week streak. Uchis is now on the way to reaching the Spotify Billions Club three times over with the smash success of songs “telepatía,” Tyler, The Creator’s “See You Again” (featuring Kali Uchis),” and soon to be “Moonlight.” Raised between Virginia and Colombia, Uchis has gone on to collaborate and share the stage with the likes of SZA, Tyler the Creator, Lana Del Rey, Gorillaz, Snoop Dogg, Rauw Alejandro, and her longtime partner Don Toliver, with whom she welcomed her first child last year. Uchis has toured the world over on multiple sold-out headlining runs, the most recent of which saw her playing arenas, as well as celebrated sets at Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival, Austin City Limits, Tropicalia, Governors Ball, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and many more.
