Jewelry, we are the designers. O ast year in our October issue, we profiled five courageous breast cancer survivors for breast cancer awareness month. This year we spoke to five physicians treating the disease. J Although approximately 182,000 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in 2002, these compassionate doc- tors inform us that the outcomes are promising. Yes, the incidence of breast cancer is still alarming, but through early detection and targeted treatment the survival rate is better than ever. Style at the Jewish News salutes all the physicians and survivors battling and conquering this dis- ease. On a lighter note, we attended the 60th birthday of JVS at the Fox Theatre with entertainer Jay Leno. Leno was gracious as he mingled with the patrons before the performance and ever so amusing on stage. I'm all smiles with Leno in the photo, thanks to Shelley Tauber who just nudged me toward him. Speaking of Shelley and Joel Tauber, we also feature the installation by artist Dina Kawer inside the new chapel at Congregation Beth Ahm made possible by the generosity of the Taubers. Linda Bachrack inter- viewed this awesome artist, while photographer Krista Husa captured her spiritual designs. "The room called for a calm, spiritual, elegant design,” said Kawer. As we begin the New Year, I wish you all a calm, spiritual and healthy year. Sincerely, (248) 356-7007 M.B. JEWELRY DESIGN & MFG. LTD. Applegate Square • 29847 Northwestern Hwy.
