Gaucher Disease (pronounced "Go-Shay")
is the most common genetic disease
affecting Jews of Eastern and Central
European descent. One out of every 14
carries the Gaucher gene — it is far more
prevalent than Tay-Sachs. Gaucher is not
gender or age specific.
Gaucher warning signs include:
• Fatigue
• Anemia
• Bone pain
• Easily fractured hones
• Bleeding problems and
easy bruising
• Low platelet count
• Enlarged liver or spleen
Fortunately, Gaucher can be detected
early with a simple test. And treatment
lets people with Gaucher live full,
productive lives. So don't wait another
minute wondering. Get the facts now.

testing and treatment, call toll-free:

opened recently in West
Bloomfield, was funded by
Edward Meer in memory of his
first wife, who died three years
ago.
And Meer and his wife, Gloria,
have also committed funds for a
gym at Yeshivat Akiva in
Southfield.
"The gym adds a new dimen-
sion to the Beth Jacob girls cam-
pus," said Gary Torgow, Yeshiva
Beth Yehudah president. "We are
extremely grateful to the Meer
family for their incredible gen-
erosity. If everyone was even half
that generous, think what a world
it would be." ❑
