A lot of women are so afraid of
breast cancer they don't want to
hear about it.
And that's what frightens me.
Because those women won't
practice breast self-examination
-regularly.
Those women, particularly
those over 35, won't ask their doc-
tor about a mammogram.
Yet that's what's required for
breast cancer to be detected
early. When the cure rate is 90%.
And when there's a good chance
it won't involve the loss of a
breast.
But no matter what it involves,
take it from someone who's been
through it all.
Life is just too wonderful to
give up on. And, as I found out,
you don't have to give up on any
of it. Not work, not play, not even
romance.
Oh, there is one thing, though.
You do have to give up being
afraid to take care of yourself.

Get a checkup. Life is worth it.

The Orthodox Union (www.ou.org)
offers a modest collection of essays
covering all the basics, including
things like a lucid description of the
basic prayers of Yom Kippur.
The Lubavitchers, traditionally lead-
ers in Jewish cyber-learning, are a dis-
appointment this year; the Chabad
homepage (www.chabad.org) includes
only the most basic information, and
it's haphazardly packaged.
The Union of American Hebrew
Congregations (UAHC), the central
Reform body, weighs in with an
attractive Jewish Parent Page, offering
holiday projects and discussion topics,
highly condensed descriptions of ritu-
als and traditions and a handful of
recipes. It's found at:
(www.uahcweb.org/educate/parent/).
America Online users will want to
check out the Jewish Community
Online section — not available to
non-AOLers, unfortunately.
The JComm interface is starting to
look dated; the AOL software doesn't
allow for the fancy graphics that we've
become accustomed to on the Web.
But the content here is terrific:
essays, holiday stories and recipes,
music, a useful question-and-answer
section ("can we wear fake leather on
Yom Kippur?”) and tips for parents.
There's also a modest collection of
links — including one to a fascinating
site describing the High Holidays in
Indonesia. Also: downloadable files,
including pictures, holiday greeting
cards, even sound files of shofars being
blown.
Speaking of shofars, you can listen
to the different calls online on the
Web site of the Magnes Museum in
Berkeley, Calif.:
(wwvv.jfed.org/magnes/shofar.htm) .
The shofar is a little tinny sounding
over tiny computer speakers, but the
kids will love it.
And for the literary minded, the
Jewish Outreach Institute weighs in
with a modest handful of essays and
stories, including one by I.L. Peretz,
the famous Yiddish writer.
(vvww.joi.org/celebrate/rosh/)
Finally, Rabbi Arthur Waskow, a
leader in the "Jewish renewal" move-
ment, offers an emotionally potent
essay on "Renewing the Year,
Renewing Ourselves," with some pret-
ty graphics thrown in for good mea-
sure, at
www.jcn18.com/aw-seven.htm.
