The INSIDER AUGUST 2023 5 I hope you are enjoying your summer in sunny South Florida. Remember to take care of yourself, stay hydrated, and protect your skin from the sun. Embrace the beauty of nature, spend time with loved ones, and explore new hobbies or interests. We are in the midst of our annual budget season! The proposed 2024 Budget is currently in its preparation stage. On behalf of the Budget & Finance Committee, I would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all those who submitted their ideas and suggestions for the upcoming 2024 annual budget season. We extend our sincere appreciation to all residents and clubs who have taken the time and effort to contribute to the budgetary planning process. Your dedication and involvement are vital to the success of our community. Subsequently, the approved suggestions will be presented to the Board of Directors for final approval. We are elated to announce that Dr. Michael Funk will be in the medical office at Wynmoor, our opening target date being September 2023. It’s convenient for residents to have access to healthcare services within their community. The presence of physician’s assistants, nurse practitioners, and nurses suggests that the medical office will be able to provide comprehensive care to patients. Since the office is open five days a week, it ensures regular availability for residents who may need medical attention. By limiting access ONLY to Wynmoor residents, their guests, and employees, it helps prioritize the healthcare needs of the community members. Requiring appointments ensures that patients can schedule their visits and receive timely care, reducing wait times and providing a more organized healthcare experience. Overall, having a medical office within Wynmoor that offers a range of healthcare professionals is an asset for the community. Once again, the 2024 Hurricane Season is proving to be an active one. August and September represent the height of the storm season. Let’s hope Mother Nature is kind to South Florida this year but be reminded not to underestimate the importance of being prepared. Remember to regularly review and update your emergency supplies to ensure everything is in working order and not expired. Stay informed about weather updates from reliable sources and check the Wynmoor Blasts for any information being provided to our residents. Being prepared is the best way to mitigate risks and keep yourself and your loved ones safe during the hurricane season. We are thrilled to announce the installation of the new theatre lighting at the Wynmoor Theatre. This upgrade has been implemented to enhance your experience during shows and movie screenings, ensuring that you have the best possible enjoyment! Thank you for your understanding and patience during the renovations that are taking place on the back nine of the golf course, which should take approximately three weeks. We understand that this temporary closure may inconvenience some golfers, but we assure you that the end result will be worth the wait. Renovations are essential in maintaining the quality and enjoyment of the golf course. We appreciate your continued support and look forward to welcoming you back to an improved and revitalized back 9 once the renovations are completed. Turnpike Expansion news: There are several projects under design that all relate to Florida’s Turnpike, the Sawgrass Expressway, and the interchange of the two roads. These projects are broken into several different projects, but all have concerning impacts on the City of Coconut Creek. The project study for the mainline Turnpike is nearing completion and the City’s concerns have not been addressed. Florida’s Turnpike has announced the dates of two upcoming public hearings - September 20th (virtual) and September 21st (in-person). Time and location to be determined by the Turnpike Enterprise. We need residents to stay tuned and speak up. Please visit the project website, www.turnpike595towiles. com for the most current information. We welcome our new employees to the Wynmoor “family” and thank our longterm staff members for their loyal service over the years. THE REMAINING DAYS OF SUMMER. Did you know being kind to others is another powerful way to enhance your own well-being. Acts of kindness not only benefit the recipient but also contribute to a sense of fulfillment and purpose in our own life. Wishing you a wonderful, safe, and joyful remainder of the summer! Stay safe and be well! God Bless, From the President

Material in the paper represents the author’s own opinion, and not necessarily the opinion of the Insider. Continued on page 13 “What Is Common Sense?” Do You Always Use Yours? By Mobolaji Adedoyin A dictionary defines common sense as “sound, practical judgment concerning everyday matters, or a basic ability to perceive, understand, and judge in a manner that is shared by nearly all people.” Common sense is a form of practical decision-making and the ability to imagine the consequences of something you do. It stops us from making irrational mistakes or makes it easier to make choices on what to do. I believe every human is born with a certain level of common sense. As we grow older and begin to learn and experience different things, our level of common-sense increases and we become more knowledgeable and wiser. I also believe some people are born with a higher level of common sense - maybe it is in their genes. If everyone has a certain level of common sense, the question is does every-one always use their common senses. Unfortunately, millions of people do not always use their common sense - as a result the world is full of lies, hate, prejudices, extreme ideology, manipulations, discriminations, and unnecessary killings. Here are a few reasons why someone would not use his or her common sense. • Extreme religious and political ideologies or beliefs would prevent people from using their common senses. • Creed for Money - excessive love for money could cloud someone’s common sense - that person would even cheat or steal from loved ones. • Greed for power and fame would blind anyone from exercising good judgment. That is common among politicians. • Hate, prejudice, and racism would prevent someone from making a good and practical decision. Many people are blinded by those factors, and they would not understand or appreciate the truth about anything - sometimes they don’t even know the truth about themselves. • Extreme jealousy would handicap someone from making an easy commonsense decision. • Ignorance or lack of truthful information would not allow someone to exercise good judgement. Millions of people are not well informed and are not able to understand simple common-sense issues. • Poverty and hunger would prevent someone from using common sense. A poor person’s most urgent need is to eat and drink. When there is no money to accomplish that he/she must steal money or food. The word “sane” crossed my mind while I was writing this article. A sane person is of sound mind and is mentally healthy. Sane people have good judgment, are reasonable, and can tell the difference between what is real and imagined. A person is sane if he or she is rational. Does that mean if, for any reason, someone does not use his/her common sense we could consider that person to be temporarily insane? It is bad, dangerous, and unfortunate for a city, state, or country, when political and business leaders do not use their common senses because of their own selfish gains, too much love for money or extreme ideologies. It is even more tragic when the Supreme Court judges of a country are blinded by ideology and politics and fail to use their common senses. Everyone cannot be a leader - the masses rely on the so-called leaders, politicians, and Supreme Court judges to govern and run things rationally. I can imagine a more peaceful and beautiful world if everyone always uses their common senses. Cover Your Brother’s Back By Lawrence E.

Call 754-204-1248 For Rates and Reservations Or email me at: [email protected] ASK DR. JOY By Joy Berke Sanchez Ph.D. This article was originally written prior to 2012 when I moved to Wynmoor and people in New Jersey were sending me questions. It was reprinted in 2017 and now again in 2023. It seems as though people are still struggling with this issue. Dear Dr. Joy So many of us are always on and off diets. They seem to work for a while, we quit, we gain weight again. Can you give us some tips on things we can do to eliminate the up and downs? I could write a series of articles on this subject for the remainder of our lives and not make a dent; but here goes. I don’t know if any of you know that in the early 80s I owned an obesity clinic in Brooklyn on Sheepshead Bay Road. Since then a lot of new theories and a lot of new diets have come along but the problem of obesity is still with us and from what I understand, getting worse, especially in children and adolescents. In my clinic I had a physician, three full time nurses, two part time nurses, an office manager and me to handle the psychological side of eating. The program was hard core to match the clients’ needs. The diet was unbelievably strict and I would never recommend anything like it again. Nor the liquid Optifast diet that came later. Our original diet consisted of 9 oz. of lean protein a day and one small salad with a squirt of lemon juice or vinegar and 80 oz. of water. We had support groups and psychotherapy groups and one on one counseling which often led to intense psychotherapy. The clients had to have at least 50 lbs. to lose and many had 100-200 extra lbs. One person weighed in at over 450 lbs. The people who stayed on this diet lost weight but unfortunately this included muscle and organ tissue. Many of them could not exercise so we initiated a stretching and mild yoga class also. They were asked to walk just for 5 minutes to start. Most people were actually compliant and did what they were supposed to do for a while. Some of the ‘whiles’ were of longer duration than others but they all succeeded to differing degrees. So, what happened? No one could maintain such stringent rules for eating and sooner or later the dam burst. Binges would ensue and soon they were spiraling out of control. I closed the clinic in 1984 and tried to find a new way to help those with severe weight and eating problems. At the same time my psychotherapy practice was growing, especially my Brooklyn office where I had a large base of clients who realized they had food and eating issues that needed to be looked at and inevitably this led to other fundamental problems. In 1989 or 1990 Oprah Winfrey lost 60 lbs. on Optifast and that plan became the new ‘in’ thing. I was asked to facilitate counseling groups from two area hospitals using the program and I agreed to do it. I also wrote the psychological part of their maintenance program. I found the same results occurring that I had in the Brooklyn clinic except this time the people weren’t even eating food of any chewable type. It was all liquids and after 16-32 weeks they were reintroduced to solid food. The binges started when the carbs started. So even though, once again, people lost a great amount of weight, they were often back where they started or worse within a relatively short period of time. Even addressing the disorder psychologically and behaviorally couldn’t seem to ward off the pull of the food. However, I did begin to notice that even in those people who did not return to huge amounts of food, just eating what would be considered rather normal eating put weight back on them albeit more slowly. What happened was that the severe dieting, bordering on starvation (both programs were under 500 calories per day), slowed people’s metabolism to a point where eating above 750-1000 calories per day added fat to their bodies. Enter the syndrome where people now cut their calories even further to see results which obviously could not be maintained and subsequently it takes even less calories to regain fat. As they lose pounds they lose muscle and organ tissue and when they gain pounds they now only gain fat. So even weighing the same thing they are actually fatter and it is even more difficult to lose fat because there is more of it and their metabolisms have slowed down considerably. Depressing isn’t it!!!! So where does this leave us? Diets like Atkins or other high protein, very low carb plans may work for a while also (mostly, but not exclusively, for men) but no matter what kind of PR we hear, these diets are dangerous and do lead to cardiovascular and digestive problems. Most fad diets fall somewhere in the short-term weight loss/long term weight gain area. Weight Watchers, the old standby, used to be a fairly well-balanced diet but now with the point system you can actually stay within the guidelines and eat nothing but junk food. Personally, I believe that if done right it is very doable but for people with very slow metabolisms the points have to be cut down considerably. It is also relatively slow and for most dieters “fast” is the only way to go. Medically, at our ages we have issues with Metabolic Syndrome which is a fancy way of saying we are either pre-diabetic, diabetic, hypoglycemic and/or insulin resistant, all of which will wreak havoc on our ability to lose fat. We are often more sedentary than we should be so the fire inside never gets lit and even if it does, it certainly never burns brightly for any extended period of time. Which brings me to exercise. Please keep reading… You don’t have to start with a lot of it or do it strenuously. You can walk, you can stretch, you can learn to breathe deeply, you can find a YouTube program and do yoga for seniors or chair yoga if you don’t want to do it in public. But you must do something beginning with 5-15 minutes a day if you are sedentary or 15-30 minutes a day if you are already doing something. Working out with light weights, while dieting, can help you keep some of your muscle tone. As for eating…cut out ALL simple carbs for the most part. If it’s white (flour, sugar, rice, potatoes) don’t eat it. If it is deep fried, don’t eat it. If sugar is one of the first 5 ingredients, don’t eat it. If it contains high fructose corn syrup, don’t eat it. If it contains trans fats, don’t eat it. If your cholesterol is high avoid animal products and full fat dairy products as well as the already mentioned items. If you are diabetic, don’t take meds and then eat lots of simple carbs. Insulin is the fat storing hormone and anything that’s floating around with the insulin will be stored as fat. Eat lots of high fiber food but start slowly so your body adjusts to it. There are also some fiber supplements you can take. You should lose some weight following these guidelines but even if you don’t you will be healthier. For those of you who do all the right things and still can’t lose an ounce, hang in there. Your body may not realize you’re serious for a while and be reluctant to give up those fat cells. Remember you will be healthier even if you’re not skinny. For those of you who have compulsive eating behavior along with bad food choices things may be a little harder for you. To begin with, it takes a full 21 days to break any habit including the one of continually moving your hand from food to your mouth. You need to find a way to do something that is incompatible with eating. Typing, painting, walking (no food allowed), any other sport, showering, knitting, playing a musical instrument, etc. There are many alternatives. Watching TV is not one of them. You also need to train yourself to allow the anxiety of wanting to eat and not eating, to surface and not give in to it. Yes, I know how difficult this is and I’m not saying it lightly. You also need to draw up a hierarchy for yourself where being fit and healthy and losing some weight becomes more important, and if it isn’t no amount of mind control will make it so. In that case you will just have to accept what exists and move on with your life. You must really want the end result to justify what you have to do to achieve it. Just saying you want it isn’t enough; the real question is what are you willing to do to get what you want. Be honest with yourself and see what is true for you. Good luck and if you have any questions, please write me at JoyB212@ aol.com

Continued from page 7 band of brothers, regardless of which branch of service we are in and should always cover each other’s back. This is especially true when we support one another in combat and this should also be true in civilian life. In November 1965, I was stationed at Griffiss AFB in Rome, NY, and arranged to get leave to be with my family for three days during Thanksgiving. I was very lucky because one of my Air Force buddies drove me 20 miles to the Greyhound bus station in Utica, NY, where I would take the bus to Providence, RI. I arrived at the bus station around 9:30 a.m. the day before Thanksgiving and waited for 3 hours for my 12:30 p.m. bus to leave for the 300 mile journey to Providence. While waiting for time to pass before my bus would depart, I met an army corporal who was also waiting for his 11:30 bus that would take him to his family in Akron, Ohio. It seemed odd that here I was waiting to go east and he was waiting to go west. We got to talking about our life in the military, I in the Air Force and he in the Army. After a while, our conversation tended to turn to family, Thanksgiving and problems we might have in getting home. I was lucky because mine would pick me up at the Providence bus depot and drive me the remaining 30 miles to New Bedford, MA and home. The corporal wasn’t so lucky. It seems that when he reached Akron, he still had 20 miles to go and no means of transportation to get home. It was then I realized that he was in a financial fix that was greater than mine. I didn’t have much money only $45 but I offered to give $25 to help him hire a cab to get him home. To my surprise, he refused my offer unless I gave him my name and military address and he gave a solemn promise that he would pay me in full at the next pay cycle. We departed as friends and thought we would never see each other again, that was all right by me and the money was just a good deed, whether I was paid back or not. Three weeks later back at Griffiss AFB I received a letter with a $25 check from my Army friend thanking me for saving his Thanksgiving and a promise that if any other GI were in dire straits, he would cover their backs as I covered his. Maybe, just maybe, if we humans could only focus our attention on the good we could do for each other by covering each other’s back, instead of demonizing groups because they are different. What a wonderful world that would be. Traffic Violations The speed limit on Wynmoor Circle is 25 mph. The speed limit in the villages is 15 mph.

The state’s health department reports a significant increase in HIV cases among people aged 60 and above. This demands immediate action to prevent further infections. Using condoms consistently and correctly during sex is crucial to reduce HIV risk. Condoms act as a barrier to prevent the virus from spreading. It’s vital to promote safe sex and educate older adults about condom use to protect from HIV and other infections. If a condom breaks or there’s a chance of HIV exposure during sex, there’s a backup option called Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP). It involves taking prescribed medications within 72 hours of exposure to reduce infection risk. PEP isn’t a replacement for regular condom use or pre-exposure medications. Some seniors may not think they can get HIV, leading them to avoid preventive measures. We must change this by creating supportive communities where people feel safe to talk about sexual health without judgment. To lower HIV cases among seniors, we need to educate about safe sex, encourage HIV testing, promote condom use, and make preventive medications more accessible. By working together, we can protect older adults from HIV and ensure a healthier future for all.

The INSIDER AUGUST 2023 23 I Haven’t Got Time For The Pain By Marcus Smith, Licensed Acupuncture Physician The number one health issue of the patients I see in my office is pain - lower back pain, upper back pain, spinal pain, hip pain, knee pain, shoulder pain, elbow pain, neck pain, jaw pain, headaches, and the list goes on. And they have usually been told by their primary doctor or orthopedist or neurologist that their pain is caused by caused by arthritis, bursitis, tendonitis, muscle sprain, muscle strain, bulging disc, herniated disc, ruptured disc, spinal stenosis, nerve impingement (pinched nerve), and that list goes on. These patients are often taking anti-inflammatory medication or muscle relaxers, often both, and still they are in pain. They may have had surgery to correct what they were told was causing their pain, or received cortisone injections and nerve blocks and are taking opioids yet they are still in pain. For the majority of these patients, the cause of their pain is not what they have been told. I’ve had patients arrive in a wheelchair and report excruciating, unrelenting lower back pain which prevents them from walking or even standing for more than a few minutes. But when I review the MRI or Xray they have brought with them, I can find nothing to account for the intensity of pain and debility they are experiencing. Conversely, other patients have little pain or debility, perhaps just some nagging soreness or tightness but their MRI may indicate multiple levels of disc degeneration, nerve impingement, stenosis, even vertebral fracture, and their doctors are surprised they are NOT in a wheelchair. Perhaps it is because Acupuncture was developed long before the advent of pharmaceutical treatment of symptoms that it can help resolve chronic pain more successfully than modern Western methods which rely heavily on just masking the pain. Acupuncture is NOT a quick fix. The effects of Acupuncture treatment are cumulative as each treatment builds upon the previous one. Though it is not uncommon for patients to report up to an 80% reduction in their pain after the very first treatment, a number of treatments over period of time is usually necessary to build this cumulative effect and to correct the underlying imbalances which are creating the symptoms.

28 AUGUST 2023 The INSIDER You’ve Tried The Rest, Now Try The Best! Temple Beth Am, Margate By Linda Storfer It’s the most wonderful time of the year! It is already August and summer is flying by much too quickly. It is the time of year when we travel and see friends and relatives whom we may not have seen since last year or perhaps even longer. If we are not traveling, we are entertaining our out of town and out of the country friends and our grandchildren are visiting us since they have school vacation. Picnics, barbeques, baseball, fireworks, outdoor concerts and theater, trips to the beach and beautiful gardens. Enjoying nature trails and preserves and consuming lots of ice cream is what summer is all about. Of course, living here affords us lucky Floridians the opportunity to do most of these things all year long and not just in the summer but I still think of summer as one of the most special times of the year. Having recently returned with my husband Bennett from a trip to the southwest where we visited and hiked in many of our country’s national parks including the Grand Canyon, Bryce, Zion, the Arches, the Painted Desert, the Petrified Forest, and a Navajo Indian reservation, I can truly say that we live in a great and very beautiful country with our state Florida ranking very high with many cultural offerings and natural beauty. At Beth Am there is a buzz of excitement in the air. At our recent congregational meeting a few months ago, our new president Shavie Fagan, an extraordinary woman with boundless energy and a cadre of new ideas, was elected and installed to serve a two-year term. Fortunately for our congregation there is no dispute over the election results of our new leader and we are very eager and anticipate some wonderful changes in the coming months. Shavie Fagan is a woman of slight build but a giant with ideas, programs, and enthusiasm. Come in on any Friday night or Saturday morning for Sabbath services and you can hear our senior Rabbi, Rabbi Michelle Goldsmith or Shavie Fagan speak on the bima (the podium on the stage) and you’ll leave feeling inspired. Our Friday night services begin at 6:00 p.m. while our Saturday morning services begin at 9:30 a.m. We also have daily services in the morning and evening. Our dynamic Men’s Club and Sisterhood have been busy planning some exciting and fun events for the coming program season 2023-24. Mark your calendar for Sunday, August 20th for the third Annual Men’s Club BBQ and Open House for new members at 12:00 noon. Come and join us and consume tasty hot dogs and hamburgers with cold drinks and desserts while you meet old and new friends. Non members are welcome to attend and will have the opportunity to meet our friendly congregants, the Rabbi and synagogue leaders. In order to help us plan better we ask that you preregister so we can have enough food on hand. No walk-ins please. Summer is baseball season and if you are interested you can join us at Marlins Park and watch our Marlins face the Washington Nationals on Jewish Heritage Day at the stadium on Sunday, August 27th. We are providing roundtrip transportation and every ticket holder will receive a special Jewish Heritage Day t-shirt. Tickets are limited so please make sure to register now in order not to be left out. If you’re in the mood to play and have fun drop in any Monday evening before 6:30 p.m. or Wednesday morning before 11:00 a.m. and play Bingo for terrific cash prizes. Save the date of Sunday, September 10th at 9:30 a.m. for our third annual “reverse tashlich” beach cleanup which is being sponsored by our Social Action Committee. This is a wonderful opportunity to do a mitzvah right before the High Holidays with a group of enthusiastic volunteers. I guarantee that afterwards you will feel a little tired but great in that you made a difference. Speaking of the High Holidays its not too early to purchase your tickets for Rosh Hashanna and Yom Kippur. Rosh Hashanna begins on Friday evening at sundown on September 15th and Kol Nidre will be chanted on Sunday, September 24th at sundown followed by Yom Kippur the following day (see our ad elsewhere in this paper). If you would like more information about becoming a member, any programs or attending daily or holiday services please call our office at 954-968-4545 located at 7205 Royal Palm Blvd. in Margate located minutes away from Wynmoor. You can also check out our website at www.beth-am.org for further details about any of the above. On behalf of our Rabbi and Board of Directors I would like to wish everyone a healthy, safe, and productive remainder of the summer. Shavie Fagan President, Temple Beth Am

According to nonprofit organizations, approximately 30 million dogs and 10 million cats are slaughtered yearly to sustain the dog and cat meat trade. When transported to slaughterhouses, dogs and cats are packed tightly in trucks for hours or days without food or water. As a result, many dogs and cats suffer immensely and die during transport. The ones that survive the journey are slaughtered in the cruelest ways possible, including being clubbed, having their throats cut while still conscious, being burned alive, and being electrocuted. The issue surrounding this inhumane practice goes even further. In addition to the cruelty of the dog and cat meat trade, consuming this kind of meat poses severe health risks to humans, and several diseases, such as rabies, cholera, and trichinellas, are associated with it. There is also a risk of spreading mutated canine influenza and canine coronavirus to humans, which could cause another pandemic to reach the United States. “The global suffering of dogs and cats for human consumption is barbaric and unconscionable. The same animals that we consider valued members of our families are victims of some of the worst examples of human cruelty. This resolution is an important step in eliminating the pervasive abuse of dogs and cats worldwide,” said Congressman Moskowitz. “Around the world, millions of dogs and cats are subjected to inhumane conditions before being cruelly slaughtered,” said Senator Merkley. “These disturbing practices must end. This resolution sends a resounding message to the countries that perpetrate these abuses that the United States is committed to enforcing critical animal welfare standards, and urges the global community to do the same.” Senator Rick Scott said, “It is unimaginable to think of cats and dogs being tortured and killed for people to eat. We must end this disturbing and inhumane practice now and I am proud to stand alongside my colleagues to send this important message in a bicameral and bipartisan resolution.” “Dogs and cats provide love and companionship to millions of people and should not be slaughtered and sold as food,” said Congressman Buchanan. “The United States sent a strong message in 2018 by passing the late Rep. Alcee Hastings’s and my legislation to permanently ban the practice domestically. The U.S. should continue to be a leader against this inhumane and unsafe industry by passing this resolution condemning the practice across the globe.” A list of additional original co-sponsors is found below: Rep. Bonamici (D-OR); Rep. Cohen (D-TN); Rep. Dingell (D-MI); Rep. Fitzpatrick (R-PA); Rep. Gottheimer (D-NJ); Rep. Posey (R-FL); Rep. Raskin (D-MD); Rep. Swalwell (D-CA); Rep. Dina Titus (D-NV); Rep.

Come join our Temple Family. We welcome everyone to our warm friendly atmosphere. And now, some Jewish food facts. Have you ever heard of a gogol mogol? It was the Jewish go to medicine in Ashkenazi homes for a sore throat or the beginning of a cold. Sonya Sanford tells us a bit about this part medicine, part dessert, made with egg yolks, sugar and milk to start. There is even some science behind its supposed healing properties. There is a story that Barbra Streisand’s mother tried to strengthen her daughter’s vocal cords by serving her a gogol mogol. Would you like to try a gogol mogol? Try this recipe for one serving. Basic: 4 egg yolks, ¼ cup sugar or honey, ¼ cup hot milk. Add ins if you like them: a shot of brandy, some lemon juice, some cocoa powder. Mix the egg yolks and sugar or honey until pale and frothy. Add the milk and anything else and beat until frothy again. Drink immediately. L’chiam! Michael Leventhal, the author of Babka, Boulou and Blintzes: Jewish Chocolate Recipes from Around the World, states that Jews have always played a role in the production and popularization of chocolate. Jews in Spain were involved in importing and selling cocoa beans. Soon they learned to make chocolate from those beans. When the Jewish diaspora spread from Spain following the inquisition the Jews brought their chocolate skills with them. Bayonne, France is near the border with Spain, and is known as France’s chocolate capital. The two chocolate museums there credit the Jewish role in Bayonne’s chocolate industry. Leventhal talks about how the people of Bayonne were jealous of the Jews’ success. By 1725 there were laws forbidding Jews from making chocolate and selling it in shops in Bayonne. In his book, Leventhal has chocolate recipes from every part of the world. Some go back to the 1500s. So, from the simple gogol mogol , to the more sophisticated chocolate, we go on to hard liquor. Marnie Davis in her book Jews and Booze: Becoming American in the Age of Prohibition says that 50% of the bootleggers during prohibition were Jewish, 25% Italian and around 10% Irish. During Prohibition, which lasted from about 1920 to 1933, Jewish immigrants were drawn to the illegal alcohol business because it helped them to become Americans. The drinking of alcohol has always been a part of Jewish life. On Passover, we drink 4 cups of wine. The Kiddush, the blessing over wine, is one of the ways Jews remember the Sabbath. But Jews were forbidden to drink wine that was produced or distributed by non-Jews: therefore; Jews felt it necessary to be involved in the alcohol industry. As large number of Jews came to the United States in the late 1880s their expertise in distilling and distributing alcohol was an appreciated skill. These new Jewish immigrants were offered work in the whiskey business. Alas, Prohibition threatened their economics and social life. The Temperance movement led the federal government to enact Volstead Act in 1919. The First Amendment, which protected religious freedom, provided a loophole for Jews to acquire wine. They had an annual allotment of wine that they could get from their rabbis for religious purposes. The number of American rabbis soared during this time. And so, we have the Jewish bootlegger. Meyer Lansky: He was one of the founders of the National Crime Syndicate and was known as “The Mob’s Accountant.” After Prohibition, Lansky became active in legalized gambling. He was indicted on federal tax evasion in 1970 and tried to escape to Israel, who refused him entry. He returned to the U.S. and was arrested. After the trial, he was acquitted. Arnold Rothstein: He was known for fixing the 1919 World Series, but was a bootlegger, gambler and narcotics dealer. In order to evade the law, he bribed police and politicians. Moe Dalitz: Dalitz, from Detroit, hired the mostly Jewish Purple Gang, to protect his interests. In 1929, illegal alcohol was second only to automobiles as Michigan’s chief industry. Dalitz was a major player. Abner Zwillman: At the top of his game, he was the head of most of the criminal activity in New Jersey. In the 1950’s he was charged with tax evasion, but argued that the statute of limitations had long expired. As with Dalitz and Lansky, he went free. Sam and Harry Bronfman (liquor man in Yiddish): In 1919, in Canada, they opened export houses on the border with North Dakota. They distilled legal alcohol; cut, colored, added caramel and sulphuric acid and exported it to the U.S. He cut distribution deals with Lansky and Rothstein, among others. Sam purchased a distillery, took it apart, sent it north, and distilled his own whiskey. An underground pipeline pumped it into the U.S. Seagrams, and the Bronfmans, are known as leaders in the Canadian Zionist movement. Jews are still involved in the liquor industry with brand names like I.W. Harper, Elijah Craig Bourbon and Evan Hills Bourbon. All legal!

The INSIDER AUGUST 2023 35 Dangers Of Trying To Be Your Own Lawyer By Martin Zevin, Attorney You have probably heard the saying: “The lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client.” If that is true, what about a nonlawyer who tries to represent himself? In this age of the internet, I see many people attempting to prepare their own legal documents. Typically, this involves accessing some do-it-yourself legal website which provides generic forms. These forms include the Durable Power of Attorney, Designation of Health Care Surrogate, Living Will, Quit Claim Deed, Revocable Living Trust and Last Will and Testament. In over forty years of experience as a Florida attorney, I have seen very few nonlawyers successfully create and properly execute any of the above legal documents. Documents are created and/or executed improperly, resulting in a legal can of worms. Deeds are a common example of where an attempt to save a few dollars in attorney’s fees results in what can often end up being major title defects. Properties are improperly transferred, thereby creating a defect in the title which needs to be corrected either while someone is alive or during a probate process after death. The defects can involve improper dates, names, lack of proper witnessing and/or notarizing, incorrect legal descriptions, etc. Lawyers make mistakes, too, particularly those who are not experienced in real estate. Each of our fifty states has its own unique set of laws. Therefore, attempting to use a generic form for Florida is asking for trouble. In October of 2011, the Florida Legislature passed a new law regarding the Durable Power of Attorney. This law makes the document much more complicated and detailed than it used to be. I worked with other law firms for many months to create a proper document to conform to the complex new law. It is highly unlikely that such a document (our current format is approximately 26 pages) is available on the internet. Likewise, there is specific language regarding the Federal HIPAA Act which must be included in all Florida Designation of Health Care Surrogates to make them “HIPAA compliant.” The correct language is not likely to exist on the generic Health Care Surrogate forms. Regarding Revocable Living Trusts, attempts to create this document and then transfer property frequently results in a total mess which requires that a lawyer revoke all of the previous documents and start from scratch. There are individuals and companies that advertise themselves as paralegals and claim they are not providing legal advice but only forms. In my opinion, it is virtually impossible to provide a legal form without providing legal advice. The bottom line is: there is no guarantee that hiring a lawyer will mean a good result. However, you certainly stand a much better chance than doing it on your own. Please feel free to call me for a free phone consultation regarding any issues pertaining to Wills, Trusts and Estates.

The INSIDER AUGUST 2023 37 Eudaemonia refers to the happiness of freeing oneself from the tensions of everyday life and enjoying oneself to the fullest. Recently, I returned to photogenic Rochester and the Memorial Art Gallery on the campus of the University of Rochester. The Memorial Art Gallery has a fine, multifarious collection of paintings and works of art. This review disseminates information about its fine, but not encyclopedic collection of European Paintings and works of art. I have divided their European Collection into centuries from the 14th Century to the first half of the 20th Century in this review. 14th Century-Italian Trecento. The Memorial Art Gallery’s collection of Italian Paintings from this period is small. Nevertheless, I saw two excellent paradigms of Late Medieval Italian Painting; Giovanni Dei Biondo’s “Crucifixion With God, the Father and the Virgin, Mary Magdalene, and Saint John The Evangelist” (produced in Florence, after the Papacy returned to Rome from France) and the Master of the Urbino Coronation’s “Annunciation To Zacharias” (originally a fresco, later transferred to canvas; produced in Fabriano, after the return of the Papacy to Rome). The use of gold leaf in the Late Medieval Paintings from Italy refers to gold being “The Light of God.” This was seen in Giovanni Dei Biondo’s “Crucifixion With God, the Father With The Virgin, Mary Magdalene, and Saint John The Evangelist.” I also appreciated the fine console, “Doubting Thomas” produced in Medieval France, during the 13th Century (originally in a church in Saint Martin De Candes, France which employed limestone and polychrome). 15th Century-Renaissance. The Memorial Art Gallery has some fine examples of Italian Renaissance Period Paintings by Rafaelino Del Garbo “Madonna and Child With Angel,” Francesco Benaglio “Madonna and Child,” and Vincenzo Catena “Portrait of Man.” All of these Italian Paintings have landscapes in the background, instead of gold leaf. From the Renaissance Period produced in the Netherlands, I saw fine devotional theme paintings by Vranck Vander Stockt, the Master of the Saint Ursula Legend “Madonna and Child Enthroned With Angels” and the Master of the Holy Blood “Adoration of Magi.” 16th Century-Later Renaissance-Mannerism I saw fine portraiture from this period by Corneille de Lyon and Girolamo Bedoli of prominent people of this period. I relished the excellent “Gothic Church Interior” by Flemish Master, Paul Vredeman de Vries with splendid use of lines and light effects. 17th Century-Counter Reformation-Dutch Masters- I appreciated the following paradigms of Counter Reformation Art, also called Catholic Reformation paintings such as; El Greco’s “Apparition of Virgin To Saint Hyacinth,” Domenico Fetti’s “Saint Stephan,” and Luca Giordano’s “Entombment of Christ.” I relished splendid paradigms of Mannerism by Rembrandt “Portrait of Man Beside Armchair,” Bernardo Strozzi “Musicians,” Paolo Paolini “Portrait of Man Holding Book About Durer,” and Jacob Jordaens. I liked their collection of Dutch Masters, including fine paintings by Frans Hals, Jan Steen “Pancake Maker,” Govaert Flinck “Vertumas and Pomona,” Jan de Cappelle “View of Dutch Coast,” fine seascape,” and Hendrick Heerschop “Doctor’s Visit,” satirical work with sexual connotations,” among others. 18th Century French Baroque-Neoclassicism I savored fine French Baroque Period Paintings by Jean LePrince “The Visit reminiscent of Claude Lorrain,” Bernard Duvivier “Cleopatra Captured by Romans,” Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres “Portrait of A Friend,” and Hubert Robert “Figures Among Ruins,” quintessential Neoclassicism. I also appreciated fine portraiture by Thomas Gainesborough and Hyacinthe Rigaud “Portrait of Archbishop of Paris.” 19th Century-Realism-Naturalism-Impressionism I enjoyed fine Barbizon French School Paintings by Camille Corot, Theodore Rousseau, and Gustave Courbet “The Stonebreaker,” somewhat somber. I enjoyed fine Orient Theme Paintings by Jean Leon Gerome “Interior of Mosque” and Daniel Israel “Harem Scene.” I saw fine examples of Naturalist Style Paintings by Felix Ziem “Yellow Sail,” Leon Lhermitte “The Washerwomen,” Gabriel Max “Martyrdom of Saint Ludmila” and Frits Thaulow “The Stream.” The highlight of my visit that day were three marvelous French Impressionist Paintings by Claude Monet, including “Low Tide, Sunset,” produced in the 1870’s, “Rocks of Pourville,” and “Waterloo Bridge” produced in the early 20th Century. The Memorial Art Gallery on the campus of the University of Rochester was a fine escape from tensions of everyday life. Furthermore, I appreciated its cozy atmosphere.

The INSIDER AUGUST 2023 39 Service Equals Reward By Sheriff Gregory Tony Combatting Financial Sextortion Do you know who your children are talking to online? A new cyber-criminal enterprise is on the rise, inflicting emotional anguish and financial damage on victims. Sextortion is a cybercrime where predators use social media networks, apps or gaming platforms to establish contact and build relationships with their victims. Posing as a teen, the predator pretends to spark romantic interest the victim, who is often a teen themselves, and manipulates them into sharing explicit photographs or videos. The new “friend” then threatens to expose them and share these photos with their family and friends unless they send money. Unlike traditional sextortion, where predators blackmail victims into providing additional sexual images, financial sextortion involves blackmailing the victim into sending them money. Despite the amount the victim pays, it is never enough, and the criminal’s scheme continues. Sextortion can affect anyone; however, predators mainly target young boys between the ages of 14-17. According to the South Florida Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force Commander, Broward Sheriff’s Office (BSO) Sergeant Thomas McInerney, “Teenage boys are particularly vulnerable because, unlike their female counterparts, they are less likely to report this type of blackmail and are often too embarrassed to tell a trusted adult.” The statistics are startling. New research by Snap Inc., owner of the social media app Snapchat, shows that approximately 65% of teen social media users said they or their friends were either “catfished,” tricked into a friendship or relationship by someone with a fake identity, or their private information, including explicit photos, was stolen from their online accounts. One-third of those targeted admitted to sending explicit images. The emotional damage inflicted by this crime can be devastating. Victims who fall prey to these criminals can experience severe emotional distress and humiliation. In 2022 alone, more than a dozen sextortion victims around the country died by suicide, and multiple victims took their lives within hours of being sextorted. Aside from the emotional harm, sextortion can also cause significant financial strain. The FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center reported the economic losses related to sextortion totaled more than $13.6 million in 2021. Due to the underreporting of this crime, the number of suicides and total financial losses are estimated to be greater. BSO is committed to doing all we can to find and stop these criminals and bring them to justice. The South Florida ICAC Task Force, hosted by BSO, uses every means available to track down these predators and help victims recover their lives. Unfortunately, because much of the criminal activity originates outside the United States, the quest for justice is an arduous process. In an effort to stop victimization, the best method is to prevent it from happening in the first place. The BSO ICAC Task Force is teaming up with Broward County Public Schools to launch an educational campaign to connect with students and provide vital information to help them in making informed online decisions. Parents and caregivers should also do their part by monitoring what their children are doing online, checking who they are communicating with and having conversations regarding online safety. A list of helpful tips and important resources is available at www.sheriff.org/Sextortion. By staying informed, vigilant and proactive, we can combat sextortion and help create a safer digital landscape for today’s youth.

This is NOT a tax bill but shows your property’s 2023 Just/Market Value, exemptions, and proposed taxes as set by the various taxing authorities. The TRIM Notice is your opportunity to review your 2023 Just Value and ensure you are receiving all the tax-saving exemptions you are eligible for. Florida Statutes require our office use January 1st as the date of assessment each year. The 2023 Just Values are based on the market data from 2022 with January 1, 2023, as the date of assessment. Our office must consider changes in market conditions – up or down – when developing the Just/ Market Values each year. The Property Appraiser’s Office does not set or collect property taxes. If you have questions about the proposed tax rates, the contact information and public hearing dates for the individual taxing authorities are listed to the right of each agency name on the TRIM Notice. I Recently Applied for Homestead Exemption–Why Is It Not Showing on My TRIM Notice? Florida Statutes require our office use January 1st as the date of assessment and to determine exemption eligibility each year. If you purchased your home after January 1, 2023, you are eligible for 2024 Homestead Exemption. The 2024 exemptions will show online in December and be included for the 2024 tax year. I Had Homestead Exemption Last Year - Where Did My Exemptions Go This Year? If you purchased your home in 2022, you may have “inherited” the previous owner’s exemptions last year. These 2022 exemptions were removed at the end of 2022, so are no longer showing on your TRIM Notice for tax year 2023. Fortunately, you can still late file for 2023 Homestead and any other exemptions you may qualify for until September 18, 2023. To apply online, please visit our website at https://web.bcpa.net/bcpaclient/#/ Homestead or scan the QR code below. I Am a Senior Citizen – Why Isn’t the Senior Exemption Showing? The Senior Exemption is both an age and income-based exemption that is not automatically applied to a property because of the income requirement. To be eligible for this exemption, an applicant must be age 65 or older as of January 1, 2023 and have an adjusted household gross income for 2022 not exceeding $35,167. If you believe you qualify for this additional exemption, you can still late file until September 18, 2023. To review the exemption requirements and to apply for this exemption, please go to our website at https://web.bcpa.net/bcpaclient/#/SeniorExemption If my office can be of assistance to you, please feel free to contact me at [email protected].

42 AUGUST 2023 The INSIDER Come Together In Our House of Light: Temple Beth Orr Celebrate A New Day! By Esther Zipper It’s a new day at Temple Beth Orr! We’ve been through so much in the last several years! We’ve experienced a pandemic, the passing of loved ones, loneliness, economic hardships and fears of an unprecedented level. But we’ve Zoomed through it all and now we’re looking ahead to new and exciting times. At TBO, we have a warm and engaging rabbi, Laura Rappaport, who is here for all our members in times of sorrow and joy, and an open and welcoming congregation who helps make everyone feel that they belong. During the recent Passover holiday, Rabbi Rappaport asked us one of many thought-provoking questions when discussing the Exodus of the Jewish People from Egypt: Do You Know Where You Want to Go? Sometimes we know what we are leaving, but do we know where we want to go? Hopefully, we all feel safer now and have a new direction. We know what we’ve been through, and now it’s time to make new connections, new friends and share time with a landmark institution standing proud after 50 years. We just celebrated our 50th year at TBO during which we enjoyed many joyous occasions. We would be so happy if you could join us as the new year begins - to worship with us, celebrate with us, and simply become a part of our TBO family as you enter through our very welcoming doors. Our events are back in-person – social events, wine & cheese, exciting Bingo, a reforming Brotherhood, a vibrant Sisterhood, and an opportunity to learn, pray and have fun within our warm and inclusive temple. We are a dynamic Reform congregation warmly welcoming singles, seniors, couples, and families, including interfaith families. We serve Coral Springs, Parkland, Coconut Creek, Tamarac, and all the surrounding Broward and Palm Beach communities. And we would like to see you!! Join us and find out more!

These platforms (and others) can be great for finding a real connection, but it’s crucial to be aware of the dangers of romance scams. Scammers often pose as someone else online to gain your trust and affection. Then, they use your relationship to manipulate or steal from you. In 2021 alone, the FBI reported that American victims of romance scams lost nearly $1 billion. But you don’t have to let that scare you away from finding love online. Here are five tips from the fraud prevention experts at Citi to help keep you safe: • Keep your personal information private. When getting to know someone online, it’s natural to open up, but be mindful of sharing identifying information that scammers can use against you. • Communication matters. Use trusted dating apps and websites for conversations and be cautious about sharing your phone number before verifying the relationship. • Trust your instincts. If your online crush seems too good to be true, they probably are. Also be wary of someone who never wants to video chat or meet in person. • Watch for inconsistencies. Scammers aren’t perfect and there may be holes in their stories or inconsistencies in their profiles. If something seems off, listen to your head—not your heart. • Don’t send money or gifts. Never send money or gifts to someone you haven’t met in person. If they’re asking for your feelings and finances, it’s a major red flag. Following these tips can help get you one step closer to finding genuine love online. Happy dating.

As a parent, you naturally want to help your children — but is it always a good idea to provide them with support when they’re adults? You may want to proceed carefully in this area — to protect everyone’s financial interests. This topic is on the minds of many people: 63% of retirees and 69% of pre-retirees have either limited their financial support to adult children or other family members, or would limit this support, to preserve their own financial stability and avoid becoming a burden, according to a recent survey by Age Wave and Edward Jones. So, as this finding indicates, it isn’t that pre-retirees and retirees are being “selfish” when they’re cautious about providing financial assistance — their goal is to maintain their financial independence, so they never have to depend on their family members for help. And anyone can agree that this is a worthy objective. In any case, the amount of support you can reasonably offer will depend on several factors, including your monthly income, your expenses, your savings and your projected future expenditures. By taking these figures into account, you should be able to develop a good estimate of what you can — and can’t— do for your adult children. But if you do decide that you can afford to provide some financial resources, at least on occasion, you may want to be strategic about it. In other words, how can you do the most good? You have various options. For one thing, if your children have earned income, they can contribute to an IRA to help fund their retirement — and while you can’t put funds directly into their IRAs, you can give them money for that purpose, up to the annual contribution limit, which, in 2023, is $6,500, or $7,500 for those 50 or older. Also, if you have grandchildren, you could contribute to a 529 education savings plan for them. A 529 plan can provide tax-free earnings and withdrawals for qualified higher education expenses. However, even if you don’t think you can afford to make cash gifts, you might be able to provide some financial benefits in other ways. For example, you could give your children shares of stock you’ve owned for several years. If these shares had appreciated in value, and you were to sell them yourself, and then give the money to your children, you’d have to pay the capital gains taxes. By gifting the shares directly to your children, you’d avoid these taxes, and while your children would have to pay the taxes when they sold the shares, they might be in a lower tax bracket than you. And if they didn’t need the money right away, they could hold the shares and hope that they appreciate further. (Keep in mind that you can make financial gifts, including the value of stocks, of up to $17,000 per person, per year, to as many people as you want without incurring gift taxes.) Being cautious about providing financial support to your grown children and other family members – and being purposeful when you do provide it — isn’t selfish. It’s a thoughtful way to protect your own financial security and avoid burdening your family — while still helping them out when you can.
