The Charlotte Jewish News - November 2016 - Page 7 ^ Jewish Family Services ^ JFS Food Pantry: May No Jewish Family Ever Go Hungry By Annie Lord, Director of Development and Marketing Earlier today a Jewish Family Serviees donor eame in to give her grandson a tour of Jewish Family Serviees’ food pantry. They walked in and she showed him the shelves that donors like you stoek with food and personal items. She proudly explained, “Beeause of this, no Jewish family will ever go hungry.” She said it with the wisdom that resonates from a grandparent: as someone who has been alive long enough to know that hunger af- feets people of all ages (we are seeing a rise in seniors using the food pantry due to fixed ineomes), that all too often hunger affeets families living payeheek to pay- eheek, and that hunger doesn’t always mean poverty—that some times a job loss or health emer- geney spirals into a need for help with groeeries. As Jews, we have set our goals for the New Year and thought about the path we want to take for JFS Volunteers for September Volunteers: Riek Abrams, Naney and Emily Adamo, Ben Aizenman, Chaim Burke, Jennifer Collman, Andrea Cronson, Sheryl Effren, Mel and Caren Frank, Robert Friedman, Mare Gentile, Jennifer Golynsky, Gail Halver son, June Hirsehmann, Bob Ja- eobson, Eva Kantor, Matt Luftglass, Frada Mozenter, Bar bara Rein, Jeff and Staey Straueh, Liz Wahls, Amalia Warshenbrot, Mike Weinberg, Jan Weiner, Mary Wennen, Dori Whitman, Lisa Wielunski, Naney Wielunski Hadassah Cooks: Phyllis Berlin, Bonnie Berman, Cathy Bogus, Ilene Cantor, Sharon Ca vanaugh, Gladys Cherny, Ruth Goldberg, Sharon Goretsky, Gail Green, June Hirsehmann, Elsie Kahan, Fran Kaplan, Judy Kauf- mann, Steve Kaufmann, Penny Krieger, Andy MeCleary, Jered Mond, Phyllis Romaine, Fran Sehuler, Joyee Stoll, Elissa Vining Food Pantry Donations: Tem ple Israel and Temple Beth El Congregants, Adamo Family, He brew High Simcha Celebrations: B’nei Mitzvah Jordan Browning, David Mond, Hannah Julianne Musa, Ilan Soeolovsky-Hull Special Recognition: Mega Challah Bake Charlotte (round holiday ehallot); Golden Grains Baking Co.

We have fasted, atoning for the things we wish that we had done differently. Now, as we shift gears from one holiday season to another, looking forward to Thanksgiving tables filled with food, and family, and happy deelarations that “we are stuffed,” let’s not forget those with less. Let us not forget those whose families leave the Thanks giving table without that “stuffed” deelaration. Let us not forget those whose eleetrieity is on this month, but whose table is barer beeause of it. Let us not forget those whose unexpeeted diagnosis results in unplanned medieal expenses af- feeting their other needs. Let us not forget those who are out of work and need some extra help to set their table. Instead, let us remember the pangs of hunger from a day of fasting. Let us remember our res olutions to be better in the eoming year. Let us eontinue our dediea- tion, as a eommunity, to the nearly 200 people JFS’ food pantry eur- rently serves. Let’s live up to a grandmother’s powerful words, and make sure “no Jewish family will ever go hungry.” Make your meaningful dona tion to Jewish Family Serviees’ Family to Family Campaign today.

No wonder so many patients take years to make a decision in treating their hearing loss. Levine Hearing takes a refreshing approach. Many peopieseiect an office pureiy on the proximity to their home or because an ad showed up in the maii on the right day, but be aware that where you receive your hearing devices has a huge impact on your treatment outcome. Some offices carry only one brand of hearing aids and "iock" their programming software, so that you must go to that office for the iifetime of the hearing aids. Levine Hearing carries aii six of the major manufacturers including Starkey, Siemens, Unitron, Widex, Phonak, and Resound with no "iock" on the programming software, if a patient moves away or ever decides that they are not satisfied with the service anymore, these open-piatform hearing aids can be reprogrammed by other practitioners, giving patients more control in the future. Seiecting the appropriate brand and ievei of technology to treat your individual hearing loss is a choice that requires the expert advice of your hearing aid practitioner. Some hearing aid brands are well known for their discreet designs while others are experts in Bluetooth capabilities. Day to day activities need to be taken into account to be sure that the hearing aids selected are the right fit for the individual. Every brand of hearing aids will have levels of technology ranging from basic to advanced, to fit different activity levels and also different budgets. A good practitioner will ask many lifestyle questions before prescribing a specific brand or technology level. You should always feel that you have a choice in the selection. The single most important decision in choosing the right hearing aids is actually choosing the right practitioner. You could buy the best hearing aids in the world, but if they are programmed poorly, you will find yourself very unhappy.
