  • JCN - AFMDA Honors Actress Patricia Heaton at its Miami Gala | sun-times

    JCN - AFMDA Honors Actress Patricia Heaton at its Miami Gala By Linda Chase - Jewish Connection News Jan 8, 2025 On December 11th, 2024, the spotlight shined on Hollywood stars Patricia Heaton and Liev Schreiber as the two celebrities demonstrated their unwavering support for Israel during the “American Friends of Magen David Adom’s 2024 Miami Gala – Celebrating Life. Honoring Lifesavers.” 900 supporters of AFMDA attended the festive fundraising extravaganza which was held at the JW Marriott Miami Turnberry Resort in Aventura. The evening included a cocktail reception, an elegant kosher dining experience created by Chef Olivia Ostrow of the Ostrow Brasserie, inspiring program and an after party. The gala was hosted by Israeli actress and model Moran Atias, as well as Ambassador Gilad Erdan, MDA’s global president. Highlights included a presentation by actor Liev Schreiber, AFMDA’s Champion of Israel award winner Patricia Heaton (star of Everybody Loves Raymond and many other achievements) and Jassi and Joey Antebi receiving the L’Dor V’Dor Humanitarian of the Year award. The event also spotlighted frontline medics including Adham Safadi, whose daughter was among the 12 children killed by a Hezbollah rocket fired from Lebanon as they played soccer this past July. During his emotional presentation, Schreiber read a letter written by Safadi. “I tried to look away but I couldn't. The muscles in my neck wouldn't move. I begged a stranger to cover my daughter's face.” Reading a friend’s quote, Schreiber continued, “There is nothing so whole as a broken heart.” Schreiber also gave a heart wrenching account of the experiences of Magen David Adom EMT Zvi Reder, who saved many lives on October 7th, even as his son was murdered by terrorists at a nearby kibbutz. “When I was in Ukraine building Blue Check,” Schreiber said, referring to the organization he founded, “Magen David Adom was right there beside me, delivering bulletproof ambulances and world-class medical care.” Heaton (a devout Catholic) received AFMDA’s Champion of Israel award for her outspoken support for Israel following Hamas’ October 7 massacre that left more than 1,200 Israelis murdered and over 250 taken hostage. Heaton’s initiatives include her creation of the October 7th Coalition (O7C), as well as her #MyzuzahYourzuzah campaign, encouraging non-Jews to fight antisemitism and stand with Israel and her people. “It is our goal to encourage Christians to stand visibly and vocally against the rise of Antisemitism and to stand with our Jewish savior's biological family as the scripture calls us. We are here to be a voice of allyship to the Jewish people and to stand not only for the sole democracy in the Middle East, but to bless Israel as we are instructed. We pray that more Christians have their hearts softened and join in supporting our Jewish brothers and sisters,” Heaton said. During her award acceptance speech, Heaton said, “The world owes Israel a debt of eternal gratitude.” Heaton also expressed her support for MDA. “As one of the leading nonprofits in Israel, serving as the national red cross, Magen David Adom is the first to respond and provide care for all Israelis. They epitomize the heart of Israel. It is an honor to be recognized by such an esteemed organization who is at the forefront of the battle. When the recent attacks in Amsterdam took place, it was Magen David Adom who boarded a plane to Amsterdam to attend to the immediate needs of Israeli victims. Magen David Adom is a shining light in the world.” A candlelit moment of silence honored the Israeli victims of terror and included participation by everyone in the capacity-filled room. Donations totaling over $4.5 Million were raised during the event. Auctioneer Dave Keystone led the live auction. Donations included the funding of several ambulances culminating in almost $1.8 Million in donations raised during the event along with a million-dollar matching grant by an anonymous donor.

  • Damar Hamlin Matters To You: Is Sudden Death Occurring More Commonly

    Damar Hamlin Matters To You: Is Sudden Death Occurring More Commonly By Jane M. Orient, M.D. January 26, 2023 Share Millions of people saw Buffalo Bills player Damar Hamlin collapse on the football field on January 2. He was tackled, fell down, and at first stood up. Even to aficionados of the game, this looked no different from what usually happens throughout the game. But then his heart stopped, and he collapsed. There is an outpouring of sympathy for this young man and his family, suddenly struck by a terrible tragedy. And also a flood of social media posts from both sides of the political narrative: it must have been the COVID shot, or the “safe and effective” COVID shot had nothing to do with it. People are learning from well-polished presentations about commotio cordis, an extremely rare event. A sudden impact to the chest throws the heart into a fatal rhythm disturbance. Classically, it occurs in young boys not wearing protective gear who get hit in the chest with a baseball or similar projectile traveling around 40 mph—not in older, well-protected football players. Still, Hamlin did get hit in the chest. By now, people have noticed that a lot of athletes have been collapsing on the field, and a high percentage of them die. Many are not even engaged in contact sports. Sudden death when engaged in strenuous activity that triggers a surge of adrenalin is not new. Certain congenital heart conditions, such as hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, predispose to it, and aspiring athletes should be carefully screened for this. There are also several possibilities for which screening is not ordinarily done. Is sudden death occurring more commonly, or is it just getting more attention? One may also ask whether it is more common in persons who have had COVID shots. This is extremely hard to answer when almost all have gotten the shot because they are not allowed to play if they haven’t. Strenuous exertion in persons who get the shot or the placebo was not part of the clinical trials. Myocarditis (inflammation of the heart) has been recognized as an adverse side effect. It is said to be “rare and mild.” We do not know how many asymptomatic cases might be causing scarring in the heart that might predispose to rhythm problems—we don’t screen for it. While people are genuinely sympathetic to Hamlin, they are also probably asking: what about me, or my husband, son, or brother? Or the NFL might be wondering what about the future of football? Or of the organizations that have mandated the shots? Are they protected from liability, as the manufacturers are? Under federal law, the shots are supposed to be voluntary, with informed consent about possible adverse effects. And what should we do now? Hamlin’s family deserves a diagnosis. Everybody wishes him full recovery, but if he tragically dies, he should have a forensic autopsy, looking for inflammation in the heart muscle and preserving tissue for tests such as immunohistologic staining that might become available later. What about the other players? There should be automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) immediately available on the field. If we were serious about avoiding future tragedies in case the COVID shots just might play a role, one might consider the following: • Suspend further injections until damage from the shots can be ruled out (some countries such as Denmark do not recommend compulsory shots in young men). • Sideline players for two weeks if they do get an injection. • Perform cardiac MRIs looking for scars in all players. • Demand a study that screens a large population of vaccine recipients with cardiac enzymes (troponins), ultrasound, and MRI to check for inflammation. Which, after all, is more important: the hearts of our people, or the profits of the vaccine purveyors? Instead of guessing, or siding with one narrative or the other, let’s get an answer to the question with objective study, using our most sophisticated diagnostic tools. About Jane M. Orient, M.D. obtained her undergraduate degrees in chemistry and mathematics from the University of Arizona in Tucson, and her M.D. from Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1974. She completed an internal medicine residency at Parkland Memorial Hospital and University of Arizona Affiliated Hospitals and then became an Instructor at the University of Arizona College of Medicine and a staff physician at the Tucson Veterans Administration Hospital. She has been in solo private practice since 1981 and has served as Executive Director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) since 1989. She is currently president of Doctors for Disaster Preparedness. She is the editor of AAPS News, the Doctors for Disaster Preparedness Newsletter, and Civil Defense Perspectives, and is the managing editor of the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons. Editors Note Damar Hamlin was released from the hospital and returned to Bills facility, his return to the team facility is certainly a good sign but his future is still unknown. Due to what happened to Damar on January 2 people around the country people are signing up for CPR and AED training to learn how they can respond in an emergency. < Previous News Next News >

  • Virtual Town Hall Forum Regarding The New Parking Ordinance

    Virtual Town Hall Forum Regarding The New Parking Ordinance By Hallandale Beach Mayor, Joy Cooper July 15, 2021 Share On Monday, July 19th 2021, the Hallandale Beach Commission will be conducting a Virtual Town Hall Forum to discuss the new parking ordinance This Monday, July 19th 2021, we will be conducting a Virtual Town Hall Forum to discuss the new parking ordinance. Please, if you are interested in participating, please visit: www.cohb.org . Go to the home page, scroll down and click on the link under the calendar. The City Commission had discussed on street parking in the past, we even attempted to implement a system. We created a Parking Committee, that evaluated parking throughout our City. Our Police Department, was tasked with issuing stickers and the costs were, a dollar, a day. The manual system was inefficient. Without a better way to track spots and implement stickers, the program was abandoned and all that were left, were the metered spots at Joe Scavo. At the time, we knew it was important to regulate on street parking for many reasons. Our on street parking spots have been abused with storage of vehicles and abandoned vehicles. Monitoring parking, takes valuable Staff time. Many condos were built with one spot, years ago and some without any parking, our Commission had inherited this situation and residents that also bought their units, already know that they only have one spot. Over the past year, we have been discussing a new modern parking program. The technology is now available where there will be no meters. Even if you do not have a smart phone, you can call in. Our City Commission has conceptually voted to bring an ordnance forward. During the meeting on Monday, our City Manager will be making a presentation on the ordinance and will be answering your questions and concerns. Over the past year, our City, City Manager and staff have been developing a 5 year budget plan. Without bold changes to reduce costs and generate new revenue centers, our City’s reserve funds will be gone by 2024. One such measure, is the new parking program. Before the break, the City Commission received the City Manager's budget for 2021-2022, it is on-line now for our residents to review. One of my goals, before I came back on the Commission to harness technology to ensure that we truly haven't had access to all of our City business and most importantly, our budget. I am happy to report, that day has finally come. During our workshop, Dr. Earle, reported that over the year, many of our department's budgets, were reviewed with a fine tooth comb. Many departments, over the years, have had staffing cuts that have adversely impacted the ability to collect our revenues. He has recommended, adding staff and actually, over the past year, we have been adopting budget amendments for adding extra staffing. One area, is with our business licensing. We had one staff person, working on implementing and collecting these fees, the staff seems counter intuitive, but the cost is covered and the increase has been revived and has resulted, in better performance. The City Clerks Office, is also another example. Public record requests and lien searches are not free. Many of these items also need to be in compliance with the state's laws. Less staff delays resonance and in turn, decreases incoming revenue. Most importantly, these legal challenges, can cost more money. Next budget year, we will be discussing even more challenging issues. As many of our readers know, I have and I remain opposed to the BSO merger. Our staff has been working to address an accurate costs of the contract. To date, we know there is an additional cost of $800,000. Please note, that we still have to pay for building maintenance, equipment and trucks. Another component of the Fire Department, is the fact that our City had applied and received, a Safer Grant to add more employees. Starting in the next budget cycle, these employee's costs, will be one million dollars. The other large item that will be on sale, is our trash franchise. As always, I am available anytime for your questions, concerns and ideas to make our City, a better place, on my phone/text at: (954) 632-5700. Or you can e-mail me at: jcooper@cohb.org .

  • 'Hunger Heroes Take Action': Feeding South Florida Kicks Off Hunger Action Month This September

    'Hunger Heroes Take Action': Feeding South Florida Kicks Off Hunger Action Month This September September 12, 2024 Share Feeding South Florida – the Leading Hunger-Relief Organization serving Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade and Monroe Counties – is commemorating Hunger Action Month this September with a myriad of activities to encourage South Floridians to “Go Orange” to stand against hunger. Hunger Action Month, a nationwide initiative created by Feeding America®, takes place throughout September and is designed to raise awareness about the issue of hunger in America and inspire others to take action toward ending it. This year Feeding South Florida’s theme is “Hunger Heroes Take Action.” Currently, in South Florida, there are more than 1.2 million food insecure individuals. One in nine individuals in South Florida remain uncertain about where they will get their next meal due to inflation, the strained Supply Chain, Rising Fuel Prices and Increased Housing Costs among other factors. Proceeds raised during the month-long initiative will allow Feeding South Florida to fulfill its mission to end hunger in South Florida by providing immediate access to Nutritious Food, leading Hunger and Poverty Advocacy Efforts and transforming lives through Innovative Programming and Education. An online auction during the month will allow bidders access to fun, unique items while supporting Feeding South Florida’s Hunger Relief Efforts. Go Orange t-shirts and orange mustaches will be available for purchase to raise awareness about hunger. Monetary Donations will go further during September with a one-to-one match with Delta Airlines, up to $25,000. Every donation is critical as a $1 Donation allows Feeding South Florida to provide approximately four meals to a family in need. Feeding South Florida will also host two Hunger Relief Town Hall Meetings during Hunger Action Month to educate the public and donors about Food Insecurity and Hunger Relief Efforts. The Hunger Relief Town Hall is a pivotal initiative hosted in collaboration with Health Choice Network, Feeding South Florida, Broward Community and Family Health Centers, University of Miami Health System and Jessie Trice Community Health System, through a grant from the National Institute of Health. This gathering brings together a diverse array of stakeholders – from community leaders and healthcare professionals to policymakers and grassroots advocates – to focus on tackling the multifaceted challenges of Food Insecurity head-on.

Shifts include 8:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. • Volunteer: During Hunger Action Month, coworkers, family and friends are invited to volunteer to sort food at one of Feeding South Florida’s warehouses or help prepare and cook meals for children and seniors at Feeding South Florida’s 5,000-square-foot state-of-the-art multi-purpose Community Kitchen in Boynton Beach.
