Your article generated a greater awareness of a very exciting program. It is a great privilege to be part of this organization. I would just like to clarify one point. I have been privileged to be the director of Camp Simcha for the last 12 years. However, the founder of Camp Simcha and the entire Chai Lifeline is Rabbi Simcha Scholar. It is the Chai Lifeline pro- gram that is the model of an inter- national program of incredible car- ing and psycho-social support for Jewish children all over the world.

Getting Ammunition May Have Helped I write in defense of Hymie Cutler, director of the Michigan Committee for a Safe Israel ("Atalena's Sinking Proved A Disaster" Feb. 8, page 6), when Irving Tukel ("Rabin Wrongly Blamed For Capture," Feb. 15, page 6) said that Cutler blamed Rabin for the sinking of the ammunition-car- rying ship, the Atalena. Mr. Cutler stated facts without blaming anyone. He concluded by saying the sinking of the Atalena was a disaster for the Jewish people. Was it? It is known that the Jews defend- ing Jerusalem ran out of ammuni- tion and surrendered to the Arab Legion commanded by the British. It is speculation what the Jews would have done if they had received that ammunition even after surrendering. They rose up against the British before and may have done so again.

Lafayette • Royal Oak • www.lorioross.com Prayer Does Help Promote Healing Over the past five years, I have used prayer to facilitate my patients' heal- ing and my own ("Prayer and Healing," Feb. 1, page 79). I am a physician specializing in breast dis- ease and the survivor of two breast cancers. Fear is often a barrier preventing women from doing breast self-exam. Prayer overcomes fear. I teach my patients the following prayer to use before they check themselves: "Blessed God, Help me find any- thing I need to find, Help me take care of anything I need to take care of. I'll do my part. You'll do yours. The first line is easily changed or omitted as the situation dictates. The prayer can be used silently or aloud by a professional before exam- ining a patient. My most memorable response from a patient after I taught her the prayer was, "That's not the prayer I say. I say, 'Oh God, don't let me find anything!"' We laughed and agreed that her prayer defeated the concept of self-exam. I think (and pray) that she's doing a better job now. I hope this prayer helps your readers, be they patients, health care professionals, or both.

For my family's loss, I have, of course, become a founding member of the World War II memorial to be constructed in Washington, D.C., and will be present at the cere- monies. A few years ago, a metropolitan columnist made a snide remark at a public meeting about Jewish men in the military. I tried to set him straight. A public memorial display with a plaque with our numbers in American wars would help to dispel such ignorance. The recent publicity of the Buffalo soldiers and Tuskegee air- men has made many aware of the contributions of African Americans. Can we do less? Bertha Weil Royal Oak
