Ronald S. Lauder

Foundation, Poland

oin us in welcoming Rabbi Michael Schudrich,

Director of the Ronald S. Lauder Foundation in Poland. Rabbi Schudrich, an American

rabbi who was formerly the Rabbi of the Tokyo, Japan Jewish community, is intimately

involved in the effort to rebuild Jewish life in Poland. Savaged b y genocide and continuing

repression, the Jewish communit y of Poland only barely survived to see the changes of toda y.

Making Hospital
Stays Pleasant

But it survived. And now a small miracle is appearing before us: the rebirth of Jewish life in

Poland. Today it is estimated that there may be up to 40,000 Jews living across Poland.

The

Lauder Foundation has established a Jewish school, four youth clubs and a summer

For a sick child, a stay in a hos-
pital is no day at the beach.
Officials at the new Ronald
McDonald Children's Hospital at
Loyola University in Chicago,
though, have settled on a child-
friendly decor that resembles just
that - a day at the beach.
Doctors, nurses, parents, ar-
chitects and designers have done
their best to make a child's time
spent at Loyola as painless as
possible, both physically and psy-
chologicnlly.
The hospital's newly complet-
ed pediatric intensive care unit
(PICU) was built from scratch
with the idea of making it a less
alien and forbidding place for
kids and their parents.
Walk through the automatic
door of the unit and step onto 'the
beach."
"The carpet starts out like
sand," says nurse Elizabeth
Freeze. "The unit faces east, so it
looks as if you're walking right
into Lake Michigan."
The watery motif is evident
everywhere you look.
Directly in front of the nurses'
station, at the center of the unit,
is a special kind offish tank. De-
signed by an artist, the tank is
filled with plastic aquatic crea-
tures, all painted in outrageous
Day-Glo colors.
The tank is about 2 feet high,
perfect for toddlers, explains Dr.
Gilbert Goldman, PICU medical
director. 0
