Ensuring Safety of your Elderly is Now Easy
Personal safety is no doubt the basic human need. As we grow old, our ability to take care of our personal safety goes down. In today's times when safety is a major concern, ensuring that our loved ones, who are ageing, are safe and sound has become even more significant. Safety issues could be related to health or wellbeing in terms of confidence, quality of life and through personal alarms. As people get older, their strength and stamina to deal with such safety issues tend to decline and this can result in them being at risk.

Planting Roots
As I loaded my last bag in the car, I looked back one last time up the driveway almost as to take a mental picture. The feeling of gratitude came rushing over, like a fresh breeze on a hot summer day. I had long envisioned this moment of departure from my childhood home. It was hardly the first time I left, but this time I made a definitive decision to make it my last. This moment feels bitter sweet, quite like the fruit of the pear tree that falls from the branches creeping over from the next yard. There is a small fear tingling inside that something will drag me back again, but it is silenced as soon as the car pulls off.

It was Fifty Years Ago Today
It Was Fifty Years Ago Today… June 26, 1971. Fifty years ago, I stood at the front of Temple Beth El as a Bar Mitzvah and led our congregation in prayer. While I had Rabbi Gerald Schuster for back-up seated behind me, the bima was mine. Read the prayers for Shabbat. Read from the Torah, offer a d’var Torah (think of a homily- an explication of a current event based on the week’s reading), lead the closing prayers, and offer the blessings over wine and bread before the luncheon. It’s a big deal, the Bar Mitzvah, whether you’re 13 or 73, and you’re glad when it is over.

I used to want to live forever. Now, that is not the case. But with that being said, I would like to live a long and healthy life. One thing that I discovered while listening to Eckhart Tolle, who was born in the 1940s, is that he looks like he's in his forties, but he's actually in his 70's!
