and memorial. Auschwitz Museum is in a financial crisis, memorial spokesperson Pawel
Sawicki warned in 2009. And if we cant secure the buildings and conserve the site properly, we will be forced to close it to the public in a few years.

Dress Cheaply
by Mike Selinker
If what you wear says more about who you are then what you say when you speak, humorist
Jarod Kintz notes, then my advice is to keep quiet and wear loud clothing. Theres no question
that its just as easy to make a statement while wearing inexpensive clothes as while wearing
expensive ones. So why not economize while you accessorize?

The hook for this story was supposed to be, how did a nice Jewish
girl come to teach Hebrew Bible at
a Jesuit University?
But that proved the easy part.

tion, decrease episodic apnea and bradycardia [a slow heart rate], and improve weight
gain and feeding tolerance.
Meirs team said the combination of the
tactile and the maternal auditory stimulation might mimic the sounds that a fetus
hears in the womb.
Because preemies are born with underdeveloped organs and nervous systems, the
main focus of Arnons NIDCAP unit is to
support the families of premature babies
and to facilitate the parents and the childs
health and development.
Parents whose premature babies are
cared for in the Meir Medical Centers
NICU are trained in both techniques to use
when they take their child home.
In addition to experimenting with KC
and a fathers voice, Arnon will continue
to experiment with the combined KC and
maternal singing techniques to see if babies
might benefit from the continued use of the
therapy as they grow.
Further studies evaluating the longterm effects of this bimodal exposure, and
whether continuing this therapy during
infancy facilitates gross motor skills,
mental processing, perceptual memory,
social behavior and learning, are warranted, he said.
Longtime JTNews correspondent and freelance
journalist Janis Siegel has covered international
health research for SELF magazine and
campaigns for Fred Hutchinson Cancer
Research Center.

For Zach and Corinne Stroum, the local Jewish community was central to their relationship.
We used to go to a lot of Jconnect events together, says Corinne. It framed all of our dates.
They attended a class for engaged couples offered by Hillel at the University of Washington,
which got the hard questions out of the way early, she says.
When we got engaged it was a no brainer that Rabbi Oren [Hayon] would marry us.
Corinne and Zach were married August 17 at the Arboretum, and they
tried to include as many elements from the community as possible local
Jewish band the Debaucherantes performed at the reception, and a Jewish
friend designed knit tablecloths with circles symbolizing gematria. The wedding itself was traditionally Jewish, as well.
So many generations back, this is how they got married, says Corinne.
We incorporated all of it. I look forward to my kids doing the same thing.

Voyage for Madmen
Play
Written by Rachel Atkins (scriptwriter
for Letters to the Editor), Voyage for
Madmen recounts the unbelievable but
true story of the Ardeo Theatre Project,
a Seattle theater company that underwent a series of disasters parallel to the
plays it was rehearsing. With elements
of The Tempest, Frankenstein, and
the true story of British sailor Donald
Crowhurst, Voyage of Madmen has
also mirrored the Ardeos challenges,
with three past productions that fell
apart beyond anyones control. Directed
by Susanna Burney (In the Land of Rain
and Salmon), Voyage is a vaudevillestyle adventure story about Seattles
theater community and the risks of the
creative process.
At West of Lenin through March 7.
General admission $20.
Opening gala February 20 $25.

MAKE AN IMPACT
Endowed gifts are a significant source of revenue for
Jewish Federation grants benefiting our community.
This is the first of many years, I hope, of bringing in people who have gone
through things that are courageous, Chiavaras said of the event. Her goal is to
show people that we can go through things in life and come out on the other side
and make something of it, much as Eger did.
Chiavaras, who is currently working on her Ph.D. in psychology, was
inspired to start Calvins Kids after seeing the suffering of families whose children were in life-threatening situations. The organization is named for Chiavarass dog, Calvin, whom she adopted from the Seattle Humane Society four
years ago. During their walks around their neighborhood, near Seattle Childrens Hospital, Calvin unwittingly provided comfort to a number of agonized
parents and patients.
People would just get on their knees and hold onto him and cry, Chiavaras
said. Lots of times, I would never even say a word.
Chiavaras is hopeful that Egers message and outlook on life can bring comfort to those in the community who are dealing with trauma or loss. Eger herself
has said that she looks forward to talking to her audience about the difference
between curing and healing, and about the spiritual dimension of healing
what she calls the third dimension, beyond the body and mind.
More than anything, both Eger and Chiavaras want people to understand
that there is life after trauma.
Its not what happens, said Dr. Eger. Its what you do with it.
If you go:
Dr. Egers talk, The Art of Survival, will take place on Fri., February 6 from 6 to 9 p.m.
at ACT Theatre, 700 Union St., Seattle. Tickets are $45 and can be purchased online at
www.brownpapertickets.com/event/906342. For more information, contact
Rachel Chiavaras at 206-769-9480 or rachel@calvinskids.org.

Hanukkah, we sang songs and lit candles as part of Your Songs Tell Your
Stories. Although not everyone knew all the words, it was beautiful to see so
many elderly people coming together and rejoicing. We celebrated together,
bonding over songs of our past and present singing in Hebrew, English, Yiddish and Ladino.
Each resident I spoke to left me extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to spend part of my day with them. As this program continues, I hope to
further invest in my relationships with these amazing people. They have truly
opened my mind and heart to new experiences that I previously discounted.
