At every stage of life we make plans, setting out where we want to go and imagining what we will be like when we have ‘arrived.’ But things have a way of turning out not quite as we hoped or expeeted. In We Plan, God Laughs ....Sherre Hirseh argues that too often our plans are limited to ones we think up at bedtime, or are devised by our parents, or by what looks good on a resume. Addressing se rious spiritual issues, Hirseh takes readers through ten basie steps for formulating a plan that refleets who we are now and who we want to be - a plan that is alive, organie, and in syne with God.” This intriguing deseription of DAVID’ hi ^e.{AietcA4' vV £. iS*-.- ILLA by HEARTS ON FIRE THE WORLD'S MOST PERFECTLY CUT DIAMOND* THE VILLAGE SHOPS AT SOUTHPARK JUST TWO DOORS DOWN FROM CRATE & BARREL 43l()SHARONROAD,SUITET-Oy CHARLOTTE.NC 2H2M WWW. cl av id sl td .com 704-364-6 543 Sherre Hirseh’s book is sure to motivate us to read the book, at tend the Women’s Division Spring Leeture on Mareh 14, where she will be the featured speaker, and then partieipate in the Mareh 21 Temple Israel book elub diseus- sion.

Drawing on sueh familiar figures from the Bible as Jaeob and Esau, Hirseh (a Rabbi) demonstrates how to forget past hurts and fears in order to beeome present in the here and now. The noted Rabbi Harold Kushner says it is “an uplifting book. Where there is despair. Rabbi Hirseh of fers hope, and where there is eon- fusion, she shows us the path to elarity.” In these ehallenging times we eould all use a little spiritual self help.

Over the eourse of time we have kept our saered traditions, retelling the Pesaeh story at Seders aeross the world. Over the eenturies we have ad justed to our environments and ehallenges but have kept steady in our promise that next year we will eelebrate in Israel. That promise, albeit for many a symbolie ges ture reaffirms our eommitment to Israel. Over the eourse of its his tory, Hadassah has been an engine of eontinued support to Israel. For Hadassah, this promise means a world of healthy people living in peaee. A Middle East made more seeure by break throughs in medieine. It’s a Jerusalem that respeets the past while embraeing the best of the new. For Hadassah Medieal Or ganization, tomorrow is about putting a human faee on the most advaneed medieal teehnologies. Allow me to share a few formida ble medieal breakthroughs: Hadassah University Medieal Center improves blood test for BRCA mutations - Researehers say a new blood test to deteet ear ners of gene mutations for breast eaneer is faster, more aeeurate, and eheaper. Hadassah re searehers said it would provide test results in up to six days - in stead of a eouple of weeks. Ac cording to an artiele just published in the journal Caneer Prevention Researeh, the new sereening test is 95% aeeurate. Stem Cell Research for ALS Moves Forward at Hadassah Medical Center - Israel’s Ministry of Health reeently approved “Brainstorm Cell Teehnologies, Ine.” aeeelerating to a Phase II trial, following the positive safety evaluation of the Phase I/II trial at Hadassah Medieal Center in Jerusalem. This next round will evaluate the safety and prelimi nary effieaey of Brainstorm’s NurOwn stem eell therapy eandi- dates; trials are being eondueted by Hadassah Medieal Organiza tion. Our work remains eentral to Is rael’s well-being; this eommit ment drives the support from our members, assoeiates, volunteers, and donors. As it is every year during Pe saeh, Israel will be in our minds and in our hearts. Chag Sameaeh ^
