DireCtory:
After meeting with the Israeli ambassador to the United States, Mi-chael Oren, at the Statehouse in Trenton, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie announced on October 24th his plans to travel to Is-
rael in his first official overseas trip as governor. New Jersey is the only state with a foreign policy.
Christie said the trip would probably be in the Spring, maybe in April. He would travel with his wife, Mary Pat, and their children.
The last seven New Jersey governors have made official trips to Israel. Israel, New Jersey’s ninth-largest trading partner, plays an important role in the Garden State’s economy. Besides, 5.5 percent of NJ population is Jewish (505,000 Jewish residents in 2010 according to the U.S. Census), the second biggest in the nation only after New York state’s 8.4 percent.
“We look forward to continuing to strengthen our ties”, said Christie. “There’s a great, great, great, long-term connection between New Jersey and Israel and I intend to make that as strong as I can along with the ambas-sador and other important folks in the Israeli Government.”
Oren said “It is obvious that our states are virtually the same size, and virtually the same population. Imagine the state of New Jersey transported to the Middle East. Here we would find tens of thousands of rockets on its borders, hostile nations, a nation not far away which is developing nuclear weapons with the express purpose of erasing the Jewish state from the map.

Expires 12/15/2011

Reform Jewish CongregationLakewood, NJ
This month I had the honor of parti-cipating in a march and addressing a rally in solidarity with Ocean
County’s homeless residents. I was hearte-ned that several of our members, including our congregation’s President, Pam Litt-man-Ligorski, and Second Vice President, Fran Gimpel, students and parents also attended with about 200 other supporters. We marched from “Tent City” with our homeless neighbors and stood with them in downtown Lakewood for a candlelight vigil as we listened to speeches by advo-cates for the homeless. The speakers inclu-ded Mr. Jeffrey Wild who is the attorney representing Ocean County’s homeless in a suit against the county. The idea was to give them a voice and shed attention on this evil in our community; I hope the Asbury Park Press’s front-page story and WOBM radio reports will have that effect. Reverend Steven Brigham, who ministers to Tent City’ residents and other poor and homeless, reminded us that Lakewood’s Township Committee has said that if the Tent City residents will simply come out of the woods, Lakewood would find them a home, and he continued, “We are out of the woods, we are here in town square, please, please help us.”
“Occupy.Lakewood”
Below is an edited version of the talk I gave at the rally, but even before you read it, I make this plea to you, members of the Jewish Community, to join a local effort to end homelessness in our communities. Simply visit www.njcoalitionhomeless.org to read about and join the just formed, statewide non-profit corporation, the NJ Coalition to End Homelessness (the “Coa-lition”). Please share this information with anyone else who agrees that everyone needs a home.
Long before there was the “Occupy Wall Street” protests, there has been “Occupy Lakewood,” or what is better known as “Tent City”, the encampment of 70 people in the woods off Cedar Bridge avenue near Clover Street. There are significant diffe-rences, although they are related to each other. “Occupy Wall Street” is a protest against an economic system that creates an unequal economic playing field and against how our elected leaders mishan-dled the recession. Washington bailed out banks and car makers but did too little for hardworking American citizens who lost jobs, savings, homes, and for too many - hope. “Occupy Lakewood” is a result of that economic system and a result of poli-tics where elected leaders care more about their jobs than ours.
Tent City, therefore, is a necessity, borne of the evil of poverty and homelessness.

By Danny GoldbergExecutive Director of the Jewish Federa-tion of Ocean County
In some of the meetings I have had around the community, in the last few weeks, there has been a recurring ques-
tion: “Tell me, what does Federation do”?The question comes from people from all walks of life, some whom I would expect to ask and others who catch me off guard. Though I suspect that perhaps other Fede-ration leaders might have a slightly diffe-rent take on this; here is my response.To understand Federation you need to un-derstand being Jewish. It’s not a one size fits all. Jews are a mosaic of different ele-ments that factor into our daily lives.First we are a religion. We are Jewish, plain and simple. Regardless of whether you are Orthodox, Conservative or Reform, a member or not a member of a synagogue; “practice” or not, you are part of the faith.Second, being Jewish is your nationality. Simply put, we are a “People”. In addition to being an American citizen, you are a Jew. We are part of an ethnic group that traces its roots back thousands of years, re-gardless of the Diaspora we live in at any given time.Third we are a culture. Whether Ashkenazi and eating Gefilte fish, or Sephardi eating Kubah, (a Middle Eastern Jewish dietary staple); you can like or hate bagels and
So.What.Does.Federation.Do?cream cheese; there are elements of Jewish culture that unite us. While some of these things have migrated into the American mainstream it’s easy to identify “doing Jewish”. For example it’s an auto-pilot thing to dance the Hora at weddings or you bristle when someone utters an anti Semitic cliché’ like “Jews control the media and/or the banks”.As is the case with any group we have commonalities that bond us to each other. Yes for a brief time you or someone you know, may be able to escape that bond. But, it’s there and eventually almost all of us in one way or another gravitate back.One of the bedrock bonds is our sen-se of collective responsibility. As a minority in America, Jews are less than 1.8% of the total population. We have no choice but to look out for one another. Add to that the fact that we are a minority in every country in the world except one; it’s no wonder, at times, we seem to have a bit of a com-plex!As a minority wherever we resided in the Diaspora, we have always had our own community institutions. We have our own leadership, Rabbis and Lay-Leaders who have guided the community and looked out for our common interests. They made sure our poor were feed, sick cared for and all of us protected as best as possible from external threats posed by rulers and governments that looked to make us scapegoats for their ongoing pro-blems.For the past 125 years in the United States it has been the Federation that

It may seem that there is no such thing as a stress free life. The bills don’t stop coming, there are never going to be
more hours in the day, and juggling career, family responsibilities and community activities can feel overwhelming, but you have a greater ability than you might reali-ze. Living a stress free life is about taking charge of your thoughts and feelings and developing a method of dealing with pro-blems. The goal is to obtain a balanced life with the resilience to manage pressure and meet life’s challenges.
To develop a stress free life, start by identifying the sources of stress. Focus closely on the habits, attitude and excuses that are associated with the stress in your life. Do you tend to explain stress as so-mething temporary, do you define stress as something that is an integral part of your work or home life, do you blame stress on
Living.a.Stress.Free.Lifesomeone else or outside events, do you believe that stress is a normal part of life? Until you take responsibility for the role that you play in creating or maintaining stress, your stress level will remain outside of your control.
The next step is to evaluate the methods that are being used to cope with stress. Are the methods being used helpful or unpro-ductive? Are the methods being used di-versified sufficiently to allow for enough stress management techniques to match situations that may arise? All methods of successful coping involve change. You can either change the situation or change your reaction. Changing the situation involves avoiding the stress or altering the stressor. Changing your reaction involves adapting to the stress or accepting the stressor. No single method works for everyone in every situation, so experiment with different te-chniques and strategies. Focus on what enables you to feel calm and in control not just temporarily, but for the long term.
The following are six tips to successfu-
lly cope with stress: � Avoid unnecessary stress by learning to
say “no”. Know your limits both profes-sionally and personally and stick to them. Do not add to your responsibilities only on the basis of “shoulds and musts.” � If you can’t avoid a stressful situation,
develop a way of altering the situation by attempting to compromise. Communicate your concerns and be assertive about your own needs. � If you can’t change the stress, change
yourself. Look at the bigger picture and attempt to reframe the stressful situation by focusing on the positive perspective. Set reasonable standards for yourself and learn to say that this job is done “well enough”. How you think can have a pro-found effect on how you feel, both emo-tionally and physically. Eliminating words like “should”, “always”, “never” and “per-fect” will help to prevent self-defeating thoughts. � Accept the things that you can’t chan-
ge. Unfortunately, not all things are con-trollable. Attempting to alter o r change behavior in someone else is an activity that creates stress. We live in an imperfect world and people make mistakes. � Make time for fun and relaxation. Ta-
king time to nurture yourself will allow you to recharge your batteries and maintain a positive attitude. Belly laughs, a warm conversation with a friend or a bubble bath are inexpensive ways of having fun. � Adopt a healthy lifestyle. Physical
activity plays a key role in reducing and preventing the negative effects of stress. Nothing beats aerobic exercise for relea-sing pent up stress and tension. Get enough rest, eat a healthy diet, reduce caffeine and sugar which provide temporary highs but cause a crash in both mood and energy, and avoid alcohol, cigarettes and drugs which may provide for a temporary escape but can create additional problems.
Tent city is the “Hooverville” of the 21st Century. The Torah warns us, “There will never cease to be needy ones in our land…” so it commands, “… open your land to the poor and needy kinsman in your land” (Deut 15:11). We find throug-hout scripture an emphasis on protecting society’s most vulnerable: the Poor, Stran-ger, Orphan and the Widow. Leviticus, tells us to leave corners of our fields un-harvested for the “poor and the stranger” (19:9-10). Whether we are farmers or not, this means some of what we have does not belong to us; our tradition obligates us to leave (or give) it to those in need. Later in the chapter, God commands us never to wrong the stranger in our land, rather, “…the stranger who resides with you shall be to you as one of your citizens; you shall love him as yourself…” (19:33-34).
We are so obligated as individuals, but so too are whole societies. When there exists widespread suffering, and indivi-duals and private charities have become overwhelmed with the number of people in need, government must step in. The Torah does not exist only to create moral people, but a moral society as well. Thus, we must pressure elected officials to formulate and execute public policy that creates and pre-
serves justice for all.Sadly that is not the policy in Ocean
County or Lakewood. Our Freeholders should explain why other New Jersey counties have homeless shelters and we do not, and why other counties saw fit to take advantage of a law allowing county governments to collect a simple real es-tate related filing fee and use the money for homeless shelters and programs and Ocean County did not. We should ask the Lakewood Township Committee why it is again trying to evict our homeless neigh-bors in Tent City after promising to wait until the suit against Ocean County is con-cluded. In short, this public policy goes be-yond refusing to help by actively hurting people who have lost almost everything and who have run out of options.
Is this how a moral society behaves? Is this loving the stranger, our neighbors as ourselves? It is up to us to remind the Lakewood Township Committee and the Ocean County Freeholders of our obliga-tions to the most vulnerable among us - to our homeless neighbors. Please become involved; join The Coalition, write letters, emails and make phone calls until our lea-ders get the message that a society is jud-ged on how it treats its most vulnerable members. We can and must do better.

On October 24th, the 14 Jewish chaplains who have died in service to our nation
were honored on Chaplains Hill in Arlington National Cemetery with a dedication ceremony and unveiling of the Jewish Chaplains Memorial. Achieved through the strong persis-tence of The Jewish Federations of North America, as well as the JWB Jewish Chaplains Council, the Ame-rican Legion, the Brooklyn Wall of Remembrance and the Jewish War Veterans of the U.S.A., the memorial’s installation aligns with the 150th anniversary of service by rabbis in the armed forces. Vete-rans, chaplains, families of the fallen Jewish chaplains and members of the Jewish community from across the nation attended the landmark ce-remony that corrected an omission on the sacred hill at Arlington.
“It is fitting and appropriate that we now have a memorial in our national cemetery to properly pay tribute to these 14 Jewish chaplains,” said Ka-thy Manning, chair of the Board of Trustees of The Jewish Federations of North America. “Today’s dedica-tion ceremony is a reminder for the Jewish community to come together and reflect on all those who have bravely served in the armed forces.”
When the USAT Dorchester was sunk by German torpedoes off the coast of Green-land on February 3, 1943, four chaplains - two Protestants, one Catholic, and one Jewish - all died together after giving their lifejackets to save others on board. Monu-ments were erected for the fallen chaplains of the Catholic and Protestant faith, in 1981 and 1989, respectively, and are finally joi-

New York - In her final months as a political scien-ce major at the University of Pittsburgh, Susan-na Zlotnikov had a positive outlook about lan-
ding a job.However as the months passed and her network of
contacts led only to dead ends, Zlotnikov decided she needed a backup. Instead of spending the summer, after her May graduation, sending out more resumes, Zlot-nikov took a pair of internships and moved to Israel.
It worked out well. In November she expects to be starting a full-time job in Israel as grants coordinator with Save a Child’s Heart, an Israeli-based humanitarian organization that provides cardiac surgery for children from the developing world.
number of college graduates are turning to Israel programs to bridge their educational and professional careers. In many cases, these young American Jews are drawn to the programs not out of Zionist sensibili-ties but because they’re looking for wor-kplace experience or seeking a way to do something Jewish. Some are even finding jobs in Israel and staying.
After losing a job in Hollywood, Jessica Fass decided to go on a Birthright Israel trip and then stayed in the country for an extra month. Upon returning to the United States, Fass felt as if she were in culture shock and kept thinking about returning to Israel. She decided to do an internship through WUJS Israel Hadassah, which helps college graduates find opportunities in Israel. “It seemed like the perfect time Former Aguda intern Vanessa Friedman, who got the internship through a 10-month
service-focused program sponsored by MASA Israel, at a parade she helped plan for the LGBT center in Tel Aviv, June 10, 2011 (MASA Israel) Continued on page 8

go,” she said.Within six months, Fass had
found a full-time job in Israel and now is working in marketing for a company in Tel Aviv, which she described as being like Los Ange-les “but with Hebrew.” Fass said she was surprised to find how much more willing Israelis were to take a chance on a new hire. “I don’t think that would have happened in the States because I had no experience in marketing,” she said.
Organizations that bring Jewish youth to Israel are trying to capitalize on the bleak job prospects for college graduates in the United States, and programs that offer internships in Israel say they have seen a spike in appli-cants since the recession hit in 2008.
“I remember in 2008 when our numbers skyrocketed,” said Amy Gross, the program recruiter at WUJS Israel Hadassah. “It’s
mostly recent college graduates because they have trouble finding a job, but they want to experience Israel as well.”
WUJS offers five-month in-ternships in Israel. Participants also have weekly trips to explore the country, Hebrew classes twi-ce a week and immersion in Is-raeli culture.
MASA Israel, which helps pla-ce Diaspora Jews in long-term Is-rael programs, created a program called A Better Stimulus Plan targeted at recent college gradua-tes looking for internship oppor-tunities in Israel while they wait out the economic troubles in the U.S. Avi Rubel, MASA’s North American director, says about 1,800 participants are doing post-college internship experiences - double the rate of recent years.
“So many grads are at a loss because there aren’t opportuni-ties and they need to find ways to differentiate themselves to get the jobs that are there,” Rubel told JTA. “For young Jewish students, coming to Israel gives them career development expe-rience, which is likely more subs-
tantive than one in the States. In Israel you will end up in the mix of interesting things instead of making coffee.”
Roselle Feldman had just re-turned to the United States from a Birthright Israel trip before the economy collapsed. She had been scheduled to teach more than 30 hip-hop classes at dance studios in Massachusetts, but the market crashed and her gigs disappeared.
Instead of filing for unemplo-yment, she hopped on a plane to Israel for MASA Israel’s Dance Journey, a five-month program for international dancers aged 18 to 30 in the western Galilee. She received training from the Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company, and at the end of the program Feldman was invited to audition for a spot with the dance company. “I loved every second of it,” she told JTA. “There’s nothing else like it in the world. It’s such a unique experience. I would go back in a heartbeat if I could afford it.”
Now she is back in Massachu-setts, teaching dance as the direc-tor of her own performance com-
pany, Intensity Dance Company. Soon she hopes to be teaching at a Jewish school, a desire she cre-dits to her experience in Israel.
Jesse Zryb, who graduated re-cently from Tulane University with a master’s degree in archi-tecture, also decided to sign up for MASA after a job he had been promised in Manhattan disappea-red when his company merged with another firm. The guaran-tee of work experience was why he joined the program, he said. Through MASA, he was hired as an intern at Stav Architects in Ra-mat Gan, just outside of Tel Aviv.
Zryb said he thinks the pro-gram made him more attracti-ve to potential employers back home. Soon after finishing the four-month program, he was hi-red as a designer at Pink Powered by Moss, a fabric design firm in New York.
“It kept me fresh, especially considering that back home any kind of employment was uncer-tain,” he said of his Israeli intern-ship. “I think it certainly looked good that I was being proactive during the situation and that I was
keeping active during the reces-sion. Keeping yourself fresh was important at the time.” Plus, Zryb added, “I had a great experience there.”

Denver - Set in stone for years, the mathematics of overseas funding in the Jewish Federation system just became malleable.
Up until recently, the American Jewish community could count on three things: death, taxes, and that 75 percent of the overseas portion of Federations’ an-nual campaign revenues would go to the Jewish Agency for Israel (JAFI), with the other 25 percent left for the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC).
However, following the Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA) 80th Ge-neral Assembly in Denver, the JFNA Board of Trustees overwhelmingly approved a more flexible and needs-based overseas model called the Global Planning Table - a “renewed structure and process for Jewish Federations and their partners to analyze the needs of the Jewish people in Israel and 70 nations across the globe, determine priorities, and assess the impact of philanthropic giving,” according to the umbrella organization in which the Ocean County Jewish Federation is a member.
“The relationship [between the Federation, JDC and JAFI] is not about the [fun-ding] split,” Jerry Silverman, president and CEO of JFNA, said in an interview with JointMedia News Service in Denver. “The relationship is about the fact that in the last 80-plus years, the Federation has counted on the JDC and the Jewish Agency for Israel to be our arms to deliver our mission both in caring for the vulnerable across the globe, with JDC, and in building the state of Israel, with the Jewish Agency.”
JDC, which provides relief as well as identity, culture, and social programs for Jews in more than 70 countries, initially received almost all its funding from the United Jewish Appeal (UJA) and allocated funds based on priorities it identified around the world, but by 2008, nine years after UJA merged with the Council of Jewish Federations and United Israel Appeal (UIA) to form United Jewish Commu-nities (now JFNA), just 13 percent of its funding came from Federation, according to “Mission, Meaning, And Money: How the Joint Distribution Committee Became a Fundraising Innovator,” published in 2010 by Mark I. Rosen.
the passage of a new National “Global Planning table” ends a decades-old automatic overseas funding split of 75 percent for JAFi and 25 percent for JDC.

has had the role of community agent; ful-filling the classic roles that Jewish com-munities have utilized for generations to govern themselves and make sure that communal needs were met.In addition in the “New World” Federation has assumed another essential function on behalf of American Jewry as it stepped up and provided assistance to less fortunate Jews in other countries across the globe. From collecting funds to provide relief to the victims of pogroms in Russia in the 19th century, to massive aid to refugees in Europe after both the First and Second World Wars. Federation in partnership with the American Jewish Joint Distribu-tion Committee and the Hebrew Immi-grant Aid Society; it has been us, Federa-tion in Partnership with our donors, who have made the difference between life and death for fellow Jews.Since 1882, the beginning of the First Ali-yah, Federations have collected Millions of Dollars to assist Jews who chose to re-settle Palestine and laid the ground work for the creation of a modern Jewish state of Israel. After 1946 it was Federation’s annual UJA campaigns that made the di-fference in Israel’s growth from 600,000 Jews in 1948 to 1.8 million Jews by 1952. We did this by funding the absorption of the remnant of European Jewry after WWII and the refugees that were expelled from Arab countries after Israel’s War of Independence. That task continues with Federations helping Israel to absorb over one million Soviet Jews in a decade and 120,000 Ethiopian Jews over the last 20 years.Today, in the countries of the former So-viet Union (FSU), Federation with the on the ground network of American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) wor-kers, Federation provides life saving su-pport for over 168,000 frail elderly Soviet Jews, many of whom are Holocaust and WWII survivors, who live alone in “cold-water walk-up” apartments. We provide food, medicine, and other social services to supplement their meager government pensions. Without this assistance and vital human contact these Jews, most of whom have outlived their families, would be alo-ne in the world. At the other end of the sca-le, the Jewish Agency for Israel is working hard in the FSU to rebuild Jewish commu-nity institutions that were deliberately des-troyed during some 75 years of Commu-nist rule. Last summer, with funding from Jewish Federation, over 10,000 children attended Jewish day camping programs where they learned to be proud of their Jewish heritage; building a foundation for the future of this long time Jewish Com-munity.

ned today by the Jewish Chaplains Memo-rial. The new memorial is the result of se-veral years of perseverance by The Jewish Federations of North America and other key Jewish and secular organizations who worked to successfully pass the legislation for the memorial through the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate.
“We have long awaited this day where we can recognize the crucial work and bra-very of Jewish chaplains who have died in service to our country,” said Jerry Sil-verman, president & CEO of The Jewish Federations of North America. “We have made it a mission to reunite the memory of fallen Jewish Chaplain Rabbi Alexander Goode from the sunken USAT Dorchester with his fellow fallen chaplains.”
Two known survivors remain from the USAT Dorchester, including one who joi-ned the dedication ceremony. This day was especially meaningful for him, as he paid his respects to his former shipmate.
CBS News Correspondent Dan Raviv, an active member of the Jewish community, served as the ceremony’s emcee. Speakers included top leaders from the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Army, the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs, Jewish organizations, as well as Members
of Congress. The full list of speakers in-cluded: Air Force Chief of Chaplains Cecil Richardson (on behalf of Chief of Staff of the Air Force General Norton Schwartz); Army Chief of Chaplains Major General Rutherford; Navy Chief of Chaplains Rear Admiral Tidd; Steve Muro, Under Secre-tary for Memorial Affairs, U.S. Dept. of Veteran Affairs; Jewish War Veterans Na-tional Commander Allen E. Faulk; Con-gressman Jeff Miller (R-FL); Congresswo-man Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL); The American Legion; The Jewish Fede-rations of North America; and The JWB Jewish Chaplains Council.
In addition to Rabbi Alexander Goode, the other 13 Jewish Chaplains commemo-rated included the following: Rabbi Her-man L. Rosen, June 18, 1943; Rabbi Henry Goody, October 19, 1943; Rabbi Samuel D. Hurwitz, December 9, 1943; Rabbi Louis Werfel, December 24, 1943; Rab-bi Irving Tepper, August 13, 1944; Rabbi Nachman S. Arnoff, May 9, 1946; Rabbi Frank Goldenberg, May 22, 1946; Rabbi Solomon Rosen, November 2, 1948; Ra-bbi Samuel Rosen, May 13, 1955; Rabbi Meir Engel, December 16, 1964; Rabbi Joseph Hoenig, December 29, 1966; Rab-bi Morton H.

* PJ Library – 120 commu-nity sponsored subscriptions to one of the best innovative pro-grams that provides a Jewish content book a month for pa-rents to read at bedtime to chil-dren between six months and five years old.
* Birthright Israel – Our Fe-deration pays its fair share of the 35% of the cost that Jewish Federations across North Ame-rica contribute to running this hugely successful opportuni-ty for 18 to 26 year old young adults to visit Israel for ten days at no cost. This past year over 50,000 American Jewish young
adults took advantage of this opportunity.
* MASA Israel (Israel Jour-ney) is the partnership between Jewish Federation, the gover-nment of Israel and the Jewish Agency for Israel to market and run over 200 different pro-grams in Israel ranging from six months to a year for age groups ranging from High School gra-duate gap year programs to uni-versity graduates of all levels to do internships. In the last year alone over 10,150 youngsters have participated, over 6,000 of whom were Americans.
So if you want to know what’s in it for you when you ask: “what Federation does”? My short answer is: everything and nothing! If you are one of the over one million people we help each year, it can be a life line for you. If you are one of 1000 community member who makes an annual donation to Federa-tion, at whatever level you can, then to you it’s the warm feeling of making the lives of a million (!) people that much better - and that’s priceless!

Why is lung cancer screening important?Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States, with more than 94 million current or former smokers at elevated risk of the disease. Most lung cancers are detected when they cause symptoms, by which time the disease is more likely to be advanced and less curable.In the I-ELCAP study, which was in the July 2006 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association women were found to have 1.9 times the risk of developing lung cancer as men when the results were analyzed to control for age and smoking histories.More people die of lung cancer than breast, colon and prostate cancers added together. Early detection is crucial. A recent study of by American College of Radiology Imaging Network (ACRIN) published in New England Journal of Medicine in August 2011, demonstrated a relative reduction in mortality from lung cancer with low-dose CT in comparison to standard chest x-rays. The National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) results recently published provide hard evidence of the mortality benefit from low-dose helical CT screening for lung cancer in an older and heavy smoker population. With CT, small tumors, which are not visible on conventional chest x-rays,
can be seen at an earlier, more curable stage. With early detection, 85 percent of cancers can be found in the earliest, most curable stage. If treated promptly with surgery, their cure rate is 92%.
Who should be screened for lung cancer?Smokers and ex-smokers should be screened for lung cancer, even if they quit 30 years ago. If you are 50-80 years of age with at least a 20 pack year history. For example, if you smoked 2 packs per day for 10 years or 1 pack per day for 20 years than you have a 20 pack year history.
How is it performed?Low dose lung cancer screening with chest CT is a fast, noninvasive way to look for cancers in the lung. It is intended to supplement or replace routine chest x-rays in individuals that are at high risk for developing lung cancer. Our goal is to minimize the amount of radiation exposure to asymptomatic patients while maintaining high quality images. The exam is complete in about 30 seconds and you may return to your regular routine after the procedure. No intravenous contrast is used.
A chest x-ray shows only two views of your chest (front and side), while a CT scan shows cross-sectional images all through your chest-from the very top of your lungs through the lung bases. Thus, tiny abnormalities (that could be early stage lung cancer) can be found which may not have been seen on a chest x-ray.
How much radiation will I be exposed to?The median radiation dose for the screening test has been reported up to 8 mSv which can usually be lowered to 1 to 2 mSv depending on your body habitus. As a comparison, average background radiation in the US is approximately 3 mSv/year and the dose allowed for people who work in the radiation field is 50 mSv/ year.
Who reads my exam?A radiologist who has had extensive training and experience in interpreting these types of tests analyzes each CT scan.The radiologists will discuss any findings and necessary follow-up with your physician.
What might you find on my exam?Most exams are normal showing no signs of cancer. If your test is read as negative or normal, then no pulmonary nodules or masses were detected. If the radiologist reports a pulmonary nodule you, may be asked to make an appointment with a lung specialist and may need to return for follow-up
imaging tests. Frequently, nodules detected on the screening exam are benign granulomas, inflammatory, or infectious process. Therefore, an initial positive screening test does not necessarily mean that you have lung cancer.
Does my insurance cover this exam?Low-dose lung cancer screening with Chest CT is not currently reimbursed by most insurance carriers unless you have an indication that allows it to be covered by your insurance company. Since this is a screening exam, you do not need a prescription to obtain this exam. Any follow-up studies should be covered by your insurance.If your insurance does not cover the test, the cost of a low dose CT scan is $250. Compare this to the approximately $300 a month the average smoker spends on cigarettes.

After the creation of the state of Israel, JDC took a backseat to the UIA with respect to Fede-ration dollars, and a 25/75 per-cent funding split between JDC and UIA stabilized in the early 1950s, with JDC receiving the smaller portion. Before Novem-ber 8, the same 25/75 split exis-ted between JDC and JAFI.
Silverman told Joint Media News Service that in 2009 at a Federation leadership institute conference in Florida, there was a “very strong decree, frankly, from the [individual] federa-tions, that they wanted to create a new space where we can take on the biggest challenges of the day, and where we could work in new and different ways with our partners who really have been our historic arms in delivering our mission.”
The result is the new Global Planning Table (GPT), which according to JFNA “is designed to stir new involvement among current Jewish Federation su-
pporters and engage those not yet a part of our collective effort.” The GPT “will be of, by and for the Federation system, with nu-merous opportunities for parti-cipation across all city sizes and regions,” JFNA said.
“What this means for our Fede-ration” commented Danny Gold-berg, JFOC’s Executive Director, “is a potentially more responsive national system with greater fle-xibility to target funds towards evolving needs around the world as situations unfold”.
JFOC has a strong tradition of channeling funds to Israel and other Jewish communities in need. In fact our Federation’s bylaws mandate that 60% of the net available funds from the Fe-derations / UJA annual campaign be sent to JFNA for distribution to programs overseas.
As an example of how the GPT might look to realign funding, Goldberg pointed to the issue of Jews in the Former Soviet Union (FSU).
Initially, the Jewish Agency (JAFI) struggled to bring to Is-rael over one million Jews from the FSU, and get them absorbed as productive Israeli citizens. Fe-derations (including ours), mo-bilized and raised hundreds of millions of dollars to make this happen. At that time JDC had litt-le skin in the game.
Today, twenty five years later, the situation is different. Jews remaining in the FSU are by and large doing well, except some 200,000 frail elderly, many of whom are Holocaust and WWII survivors who live on meager government pensions. Today it’s the JDC that is the primary agen-cy engaged on the ground, pro-viding care and support for over 168,000 elderly clients. Every dollar is stretched to the limit to provide food, medicine, and so-cial services. The Jewish Agency (JAFI) is focused on providing Jewish continuity experiences for children and young adults in revi-talized Jewish communities.
This macro funding imbalance under the old 75-25 split, which no single Federation can address
by itself, might be one of the first issues to be tackled by a National Global Funding Table, Goldberg speculated.
“As we’ve evolved over time, we’ve seen trend changes and shifts in the marketplace and we’ve seen the collective itself, the 157 Federations, begin thin-king about things more singularly than collectively,” Silverman told JointMedia News Service. “We realized that from the point of our process we had not had a place where the Federations could rea-lly come together and really think about the biggest challenges that we face as a Jewish people - whe-re we engage people, where we educate people, where we bring people to the work itself.”
Silverman said JFNA expects that under this new model, JDC and JAFI “will be in the best po-sition to continue to help us in delivering our mission.”
“We think by doing this, the byproduct is that we’re frankly going to have the ability to raise more resources and be able to do more in making a difference in the world,” he said.
JFNA said the GPT “will work toward a key goal of promoting higher levels of charitable giving by building “stronger and more coordinated fundraising, marke-ting and communications among JFNA, federations and our glo-bal partners, including JDC and JAFI.
“Ultimately, the GPT will ser-ve as the hub of a communal system that fosters education, sparks new dialogue and engages deep commitment to meet glo-bal Jewish needs,” JFNA Board Chair Kathy Manning said in a statement.

JDCJDC is one of three overseas agencies
supported by Your Federation gift.
In the aftermath of the devastating ear-thquake in eastern Turkey on Octo-ber 23rd, the American Jewish Joint
Distribution Committee (JDC) has begun collecting funds for relief efforts. Respon-ding to initial reports of hundreds of deaths and wide-spread building collapse, JDC is working with its local partners, including Turkey’s Jewish community, to ensure the victims’ immediate needs are addressed. JDC’s past humanitarian interventions in Turkey have included the provision of aid and training after earthquakes in 2010 and 1999. JDC staff experts are currently de-termining what next steps are necessary, especially in the hardest-hit Van Province.
“Our hearts go out to the people of Tur-key at this tragic time and we offer our condolences to the families of those lost in the earthquake. Building off our historic work in Turkey, the disaster-preparedness training we have provided in the past, and the strength of our partnership with the Turkish Jewish community, we are res-ponding quickly and strategically to help victims in their time of need,” said Steven Schwager, JDC’s Chief Executive Officer.
The 7.2 earthquake is the most power-ful to hit Turkey in a decade. JDC’s mul-ti-pronged involvement in the Turkish Jewish community began following World War I when it came to the aid of orphaned Jewish children. JDC’s work continued with its reinvestment in Turkey in 1992 by improving social services and Jewish community-based economic development,
JDC.Responds.to.Turkey.Earthquakeas well as its provision of disaster-relief and development efforts in the country.
JDC’s disaster relief programs are fun-ded by special appeals of the Jewish Fe-derations of North America and tens of thousands of individual donors to JDC. JDC coordinates its relief activities with the U.S. Department of State, USAID, Interaction, the Israeli Foreign Ministry, Israeli relief agencies, and the United Na-tions. JDC has provided immediate relief and long-term assistance to victims of na-tural and manmade disasters around the globe and continues to operate programs designed to rebuild infrastructure and com-munity life in disaster-stricken regions.To Make a Contribution to Turkey Earthquake Relief:Online: [email protected] Phone: 732-363-0530By Mail: check payable to:Jewish Federation of Ocean CountyTurkey Earthquake Relief301 Madison Ave.Lakewood, NJ 08701

The largest Jewish high school in the Former Soviet Union is set to be es-tablished in the Moldovan capital,
Kishinev.Following a warm meeting between top
World ORT lay leaders and management and Moldovan Prime Minister Vladimir Filat, more than six months’ preparatory work by World ORT Representative in the CIS and Baltic States, David Benish has been given the seal of approval.
“I very much appreciate ORT’s contri-bution to my country,” Prime Minister Fi-lat said. “I know ORT’s reputation interna-tionally and I support every decision, and every step it takes in Moldova.”
His Government has provided a 4,000-square-meter school in the centre of Kishinev which will not only be able to comfortably accommodate all the students from ORT’s two existing schools in the city, ORT Herzl Technology Lyceum and
New.ORT.school.set.to.be.biggest.in.the.FSUORT Rambam, but will also have plenty of space to increase enrollment.
“When the ORT school in Kishinev opens, it will be the largest Jewish school in the Former Soviet Union and one of the largest in Europe. We are extremely exci-ted about this,” said World ORT Director General and CEO Robert Singer.
The potential to expand is critical to the prospects of the 35,000-strong Jewish community’s children, who are already be-ing attracted to the ORT schools in grea-ter numbers. This year, the Kishinev ORT schools’ enrollment increased from 642 to 719 because of the high quality of the edu-cation it offers. ORT Herzl, 80 per cent of whose graduates win university scholars-hips, is the only Moldovan school chosen by Microsoft for one of its international educational initiatives.
“The only buildings available for these schools in the 1990s were former kinder-gartens which don’t have the design and facilities our teenage students need,” said Mr. Benish. “The new building is 20 years younger than the ones we use at the mo-
ment and has a sports hall, laboratories and rooms which can be readily adapted to suit the needs of a modern, growing high school committed to excellence in scien-tific and technological subjects, and it will enable us to meet increasing applications for enrollment.”
Classes from ORT Herzl will start to move into the new school in January with ORT Rambam students making the transi-tion from about April. Members of the re-cent World ORT mission to Kishinev and Odessa, which was chaired by World ORT President Emeritus Sir Maurice Hatter, have committed themselves to attending the new school’s opening at the start of the new academic year in September.
“Creating this new school generated a lot of excitement among mission members and prompted financial commitments from Sir Maurice and Lady Hatter, ORT Mol-dova President Ilan Shor and British ORT Trustee Simon Aron,” Mr. Benish said.
The merger will also allow benefits accrued by ORT Herzl over a decade of investments through World ORT’s Rege-neration 2000 and 2004 campaigns to be shared with the students at ORT Rambam.
“ORT Rambam joined our network only two years ago and the international econo-mic crisis has made it difficult for us to rai-
se the funds necessary to make the desired improvements,” said Mr. Benish. “Being together in the same school will mean that the strides we have taken in raising stan-dards at ORT Herzl will be shared, as will the benefits from our current QUEST cam-paign.”
Mr. Shor, who became ORT Moldova’s president in 2009 at the tender age of 22, was deeply touched by Sir Maurice and Lady Hatter’s proposal to name the new school after the national organization’s inaugural president, his late father, Miron. “I’m very happy about this project; it will be a fitting tribute to my father’s ideals,” he said.
World ORT Mission members Sir Mau-rice and Lady Hatter, ORT France Presi-dent Lucien Kalfon, Director of the Euro-pean Day of Jewish Culture in Switzerland Nadia Guth Biasini, Lower Galilee Mayor Moti Dotan, and British ORT Trustee Si-mon Aron spent five days in Ukraine and Moldova to see the impact of ORT’s pro-jects there.
As well as the ORT schools in Kishinev, they toured the new computer center at Odessa’s Tikva Orphanage and the Ukrai-nian capital’s ORT School and Technology Center.

The head, and only, offices of Chat-Vibes, an Israeli start-up com-pany, consists mainly of three
desks, four laptops and a white board occupying a small, dark room in need of paint and a decorator in a small, non-descript building on Tel Aviv Rothschild Boulevard.“This is the biggest meeting we’ve ever had here,” says Uri Schneider, the company’s director of social media, as he squeezes in a handful of visiting jour-nalists. Across the room Chief Executive Officer Gilad Carmi and Chief Techno-logy Officer Justin Alexander wave a hello. The other employee, described as a “tech guy”' is somewhere else, which is just as well as there isn’t any obvious place for him to work.When Tel Aviv residents call their ho-metown ‘the city that never sleeps,’ they mean drinking and dancing. A new unit of the Mayor Ron Huldai’s office,
City is bent on luring start-up entrepreneurs, even non-israelis.
In.Quest.for.Cool,.Tel.Aviv.Turns.to.TechTel Aviv Global City, wants to add a new element to the city’s nightlife: start-up en-trepreneurs working all hours writing bu-siness plans and computer code. The goal is to turn itself into the high tech center not just of Israel but all of Europe in 10 years’ time.As unlikely as it seems at first glance, ChatVibes is just the kind of business the city aspires to attract. Despite its modest offices, the company is an infant tech powerhouse. It was the first to develop a video chat add-on to Facebook and even though Facebook itself has since intro-duced its own video chat, ChatVibes is still going strong. Schneider says it’s the second most popular Google Chrome ex-tension and its Facebook page grew by 282,500 “likes” to pass two million last month.The company is cash-flow positive and the founders’ turned down an offer for a major investment because they wanted to keep their company in Tel Aviv. Elsewhe-
re in the same building, another company called Faunus (four desks, five employees and two ceramic chickens by a coffee urn) is developing technology for the early de-tection of viruses in chickens. Upstairs, 6Scan (two desks, three employees and 2 ½ others in California) is conducting beta testing of anti-hacker technology designed to protect small websites.“We moved here two months ago. We’ve been around since April and just closed an investment,” says its 26-year-old CEO, Nitzan Miron, who acquired his tech skills serving in the army. “People who come out of military units are good hackers.”Israel established itself as a high technolo-gy center, popularly known as the “Start-up Nation,” over the last two decades. As the country’s business center and biggest metropolitan area, Tel Aviv is already home to most of the nation’s start-ups. Rothschild Boulevard itself was home to LabPixies, the first Israel start-up to be acquired by Google. Last month, another
Rothschild start-up, The Gift Project, was snapped up by E-Bay.The city has bigger plans - to combine cool technology with coolness all around - to attract hip, young entrepreneurs who live, work and party in Tel Aviv and make it a world-class city in the leagues of New York, London and Shanghai.“What we realized was that Tel Aviv’s re-lative advantage is in the fusion of techno-logy and innovation,” says Eitan Schwartz, describing the city’s strategy. He has the tech-sounding title of Director of Interna-tional Content for the Tel Aviv Global City initiative. “If we want to be a global lea-der in one sector, it’s probably going to be that.”If the city’s restaurants and clubs aren’t enough to lure them, the municipality is embarking on plans to offer tax breaks for start-ups, free Wi-Fi in designated areas, hand-holding for new businesses and hos-

ting conferences that bring the global industry’s leaders to the city. As a result, the first week of November the city was holding a combination tech conference and festival, five days of spectacles, seminars and networking in the city’s trendy Jaffa Quarter.
I have never seen such unity in Lakewood. It was outstanding. Rabbi Schenkowleski, who has been with the Lakewood Yes-hiva for forty years, told me he doesn’t remember a study ses-sion at the yeshiva ever closing for other than a fire alarm. But on this day, everyone closed their study books and went outside to line the streets. There must have been thousands of students from the Beth Medrash Gohova Rabbi-nical College. I get goose bumps when I speak about this. Resi-dents lined the streets in respect for the fallen and for the law. The unity Chris Matlotz brought to this town is a legacy to live by. That’s why I had the idea of renaming Third Street as Chris Matlotz Way. Not Chris Matlotz “Street”, “Drive” or “Avenue”, but Chris Matlotz Way in honor of his way of life.When.it.comes.to.destructive.behavior.and.public.safety,.what.are.we.doing.as.a.town.to.keep.our.young.people.away.from.a.destructive.path?
Mr. Lichtenstein, the township liaison to youth gang and violent initiatives, works together with Kamess, Pastor Salguero and many others to create and orga-nize educational activities. We are truly blessed in Lakewood to have mentors and counselors wi-lling to roll up their sleeves and work for a better tomorrow for our youth.You.were.recently.appointed.as.Major.in.the.U.S.Air.Force..Why.did.you.choose.to.serve.in.the.Armed.Forces?
My great grandparents were per-
secuted in many different coun-tries in Europe, including Russia. When they came to the United States, this country allowed them to have the religious freedom to practice their beliefs. This is the reason I joined the U. S. Air For-ce, because I felt a responsibility to give back to this great country. I feel privileged to have been de-ployed to Iraq to serve our men and women fighting this war for freedom.One.of.your.responsibilities.is.to.be.a.chaplain..How.do.the.Jewish.soldiers.feel.having.someone.they.can.turn.to?.Is.that.generally.the.case?
That generally is the case. You won’t believe this, but a chaplain provides spiritual and emotional support for all service personnel. Therefore the chaplain’s duty is to deal with anyone who walks in the door. People deployed have all kinds of emotional dis-turbances and troubles and they need to speak with someone. The advantage of having a chaplain is that there is no stigma. They don’t want to speak to a psy-chiatrist or psychologist because they are concerned it will go on their report. When you speak to a chaplain it is confidential. I was there during the holiday season, Thanksgiving, Christmas and Hanukah, to offer moral boost to all airmen and soldiers.When.was.the.last.time.you.went.to.Israel?.Are.there.any.specific.experiences.that.come.to.mind?
I go to Israel a couple of times a year. First of all I go to support the economy over there. I go as a tourist with my wife. Israelis appreciate when the Americans
go. It gives them a feeling of en-couragement to go on with their lives. They see that we care about them and we stand in solidarity with the people of Israel.I was there when I was twenty years old, learning in a theologi-cal seminary. It was a time when there were many bus bombings. It is a horrible feeling, living in constant fear of bombings. Af-ter the tragedy of 9/11, we know what it is like.Do.you.have.some.spots.you.like.to.visit?
My two favorite spots in Israel are the Western Wall and the Dead Sea. I love going down to the Dead Sea and sitting out the-re. My cell phone doesn’t work so no one can reach me. The salt density is so high that you can’t sink because the salt keeps you floating. I enjoy just lying on my back. It is the most relaxing fe-eling in the world.Finally,.what.are.the.three.things.you.love.most.about.Lakewood?
(Laughs and laughs) The three things I love most about Lakewo-od, here we go: the people, the people, the people!
Another key element is lobbying the national government to create a special visa that would allow foreign entrepreneurs to come to the city to start up companies. Indeed, spicing the Israeli tech scene is a critical element to the plan, a way of boosting the city’s cosmopolitanism and injecting new talent, says Avner Warner, who is in charge of Global Tel Aviv’s inter-national economic development.That last element is a tall order. Privately, officials told The Media Line that government officials are wary about letting in people who might take away jobs or compete for investment capital with locals. Warner adds that Israel’s location in the Middle East could also deter Europeans and others from sett-ling in Tel Aviv with I-Pads and marketing plans.On October, rockets launched by Palestinian militants based in the Gaza Strip rained down on Israel’s south, including the coastal cities of Ashdod and Ashkelon. On Wednesday Nov-ember 2nd, as Global Tel Aviv officials were detailing their plans, the headlines were talking about Israeli plans for a mi-litary strike on Iran.“There are many barriers to overcome. We can’t do anything about the security barriers, so we just have to ignore them,” admits Warner. He adds, in terms of personal security, the city is safer than many urban areas in the U.S. and Europe. “The streets of New York are less safe than the streets of Tel Aviv.”He was speaking at a branch of the Tel Aviv municipal library house in the Shalom Meyer Tower at the bottom end of Ro-thschild Boulevard. A relic of the pre-Internet era, it is being given new life as a place for budding technology entrepreneurs to get started with the help of the city.Books and magazines are still there, but a large new space will be ready next month for 28 people whose business plans are little more than an idea in their head. If they pass muster with an admissions committee, they get to use the facility for three or four months, giving them access to desk space, Internet, a conference room, networking events and, perhaps most impor-tant of all, a place to bounce ideas and worries with others.“You’ll have a peer group of people going through similar things, similar difficulties, like fundraising,” says Warner.The idea of keeping the city’s high tech entrepreneurs close to each other extends beyond the walls of The Library as the new space is called. Tel A viv is focusing its high tech thrust on a small part of the city, starting at Rothschild Boulevard and spreading south to the Shalom Meyer Tower and Jaffa, an area dubbed the Tech Mile, although it is more like technology Square Mile. It is the oldest part of Tel Aviv, an area filled with 1930s-era Bauhaus apartments and older structures gradually being restored as well as steel-and-glass office towers.One of the newest ventures to take advantage of the city’s heightened interest in things digital is TechLoft, which opened

in September as a place where entrepreneurs with start-up ideas in their heads can get started. There is room for 70 of them over two floors in an office building on the city’s Nahmani Street.For a fee amounting to just $250 a month, they get desk space as well as confe-rence rooms, an “aquarium” for brainstorming and basic office services. Speaking from a deck designed for parties and other events just off one of TechLofts’ two working areas, Gilad Tuffias, one of TechLofts’ two founding partners, says they have held 10 networking events in the first two months.The idea of creating a seedbed for entrepreneurs is nothing new in the U.S. but it is new to Israel and may have more relevance in a country where few people have a garage to house their start-ups or even a spare room at home.“We understood the need for entrepreneurs, starting the journey of turning an idea into a reality, for a place they can work out of,” says Tuffias. “Instead of being in a coffee shop or at home, they can work with other entrepreneurs.”TechLoft doesn’t expect to earn a profit from providing office space and servi-ces, but it hopes to earn money from making micro-investments of $50,000 to $250,000 in the most promising of the start-ups that settle in at the facility. They will supplement their cash investment with sponsoring time in Silicon Valley for the entrepreneurs and introducing them to future investors.
