Rabbi Akira Was A Great Teacher. Here's Some Great Tngs hi Akiva Hebrew Day _School Learned From -Him. Rabbi Akiva believed passionately in Torah values and academic chal- lenge. Akiva Hebrew Day School does too. Rabbi Akiva's school had an exciting, vibrant and warm atmosphere. His school believed in producing erudite Torah scholars who could articulately and successfully participate in, and contribute to the world they Wed in. And we do too. He believed in the full religious and intellectual potential of all of his stu- dents. (He had to: he started study- ing Torah when he was forty —and became Rabbi Akiva.) Of course, he wanted them to develop the highest standards of personal character. And —maybe most important of all— Rabbi Akiva loved his students. And so do we. That's why so many parents look to Akiva as a great answer for Jewish kids in today's world. We believe in that too. Maybe, you should too.

Confused? While the part about home health care is plain and simple, what Mr. Herman is referring to is that a number of our aging parents will ulti- mately move in with us. But, in- stead of sharing our roofs completely, builders will design and buildhomes with in-law or parent apartments attached. Also, as we head toward "a shift to home-based businesses, builders will begin construction on in-home offices. Satellite doc? While there may not be a shortage of Jewish doctors, there aren't enough physicians to go around — around the world that is. The answer is in telemedi- eine, Mr. Herman said. Huh?
