The A, B, C's of Alzheimer's Disease
and Dementia •

ON ICE AND OFF

–> If you're caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's disease or other related dementia,
chances are you have many unanswered questions. Arden Courts of Bingham Farms
understands and would like to help you find the answers by hosting this informative seminar.
Dr. Keith Tobin is certified in both Family Practice Medicine and Geriatrics and currently is
the President of American Geriatric Consultants. During this seminar, Dr. Keith Tobin would
like to share his knowledge on Alzheimer's disease and other related memory impairments
with you.

Mathieu, Jr. ("which I know you're not
supposed to do," he now says, somewhat
sheepishly), his son's birth triggered a
desire to look deeper into his religious
heritage.
His wife Shannon, who was born
Catholic, followed him on the journey,
and is now in the process of converting
to Judaism, just as Schneider's mother
did.
"We decided we wanted to raise our
kids Jewish," Schneider explains. "My
wife's kind of from a similar back-
ground: Catholic, where religion wasn't a
huge part of their lives. I think the more
she learned about Judaism, the more
interest she took in it. I think it's really
that sense of family that drew her to it
most of all.
"She's been taking classes with me in
the summer, at a synagogue in L.A. The
community, the sense of family, is very
important for us, and to raise our kids
Jewish."

The couple also took "very informal
classes" at their Los Angeles home. A
rabbi came to their house weekly,
which was particularly convenient
during a travel-filled hockey season.
"We'll probably do it again this sum-
mer when we're back in L.A.," he
adds.
His family attended a Rodondo
Beach synagogue that, he says, is a
huge part of the community.
"They were doing Meals on Wheels.
It wasn't only for the Jewish families, it
was for everyone. They have a corn-
munity center that was open to kids
for after-school programs and things
like that. So I liked being a part of
that."
In addition, "The last couple years
I've taken off a day for Yom Kippur
and starved myself That's something
that I'll keep up with." When he and
his family — which includes daughter
Abigail, 1, plus a third child on the
way —settle into metropolitan Detroit
before next season, Schneider says
theY'll look for a synagogue.
"I like to, for the High Holidays
especially, go to services. They were
Orthodox at our synagogue (in Los
Angeles) so it was difficult for me to
follow along, but I had some help.
This year, I'll probably try to find a
Reform synagogue here."
Schneider has one year left on his
hockey contract, but he hopes to
remain with Detroit for many more
years. Likewise, his off-ice journey will
apparently continue in the same direc-
tion he's traveled the past two years. ❑
