Rabbi David Nelson of Congregation Beth Shalom in Oak Park, Rabbi Mordehai Waldman of Congregation Beth Tephilath Moses in Mount Clemens and Rabbi Joseph Rabbi Nelson Klein of Temple Eman.u-E1 in Oak Park responded to U.S. Census Bureau figures indicating that 1.08 million Michiganians, more than one in every 10, lack health insurance. In all, 45 million Americans lack the insurance, including more than 8 mil- lion children. Eight out of 10 unin- sured Americans either work or are in working families. Nearly one in six Americans has lacked health care cov- erage for a full year; millions more go without coverage for months. "Americans without health coverage represent every religion, race, and region of the country," said Rabbi Nelson, an officer of the Health & Hope Coalition representing 100 faith leaders. "Wherever we pray, chances are very good that someone near us is unable to get the health care they need because they do not have insurance coverage." 'As more and more Michigan citizens lose health care coverage and small busi- nesses in our state are finding they can no longer provide coverage for their employees, our community is coming together to say this is a problem we must solve together," said Nancy Schlichting, who heads the Detroit- based Henry Ford Health System. 'Although Americans observe faith traditions that encompass a wide spec- trum of beliefs, all hold that life is a holy gift to be cherished," Rabbi Nelson said. "We are called to care for one another, provide healing and pre- vent suffering. That is why we join together to support Cover the Uninsured Week." The Institute of Medicine estimates that 18,000 adults in America die each year because they are uninsured. Research shows that uninsured women with breast cancer have a higher risk of dying than women with health insurance. Uninsured patients with colorectal cancer are about 50 percent more likely to die than patients with health insurance, even when the can- cer is diagnosed at similar stages. Cover the Uninsured Week in southeast Michigan is funded primari- ly by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, a philanthropy dedicated exclusively to improving the health and health care of all Americans. Cover the Uninsured Week events in southeast Michigan is available at www.CoverTheUninsuredWeek.org/ events/. Zionism Lecture Planned The Detroit Conservative movement scholar-in-residence Howard N. Lupovitch will continue his lecture series "The Zionist Revolution" at Congregation B'nai Moshe Thursday evening, May 12, with "Third-Person Zionism — Herzl, Nordau, and the Hungarian Perspective." The lecture will begin at 7:30 p.m. with a one-hour presentation fol- lowed by time for questions and dis- cussion. The series is sponsored by the synagogue's Kolel Moshe Institute for Lifelong Jewish Learning. There is a $10 tuition fee for each lecture. There is no charge for members of B'nai Moshe. High-school and col- lege students, professional Jewish educators and holders of Kolel Moshe Passport to Torah are also welcome to attend at no charge. Advance registra- tion is encouraged but not required. All are welcome. Every Monday at noon, Kolel Moshe offers a complimentary video replay of a recent lecture program.
