MAKE LIFE BETTER
Rita Winer
was inspired by hospice
nurses who cared for her dying father in
Florida 15 years ago. "It was comforting
to know he was safe and being cared for
without aggressive treatments," says
Winer, a registered nurse now part of
the Beaumont Hospice staff. "This was
a natural progression for me."
Rita's work with Jewish patients and
their families through JHCN is especial-
ly meaningful. "I get such satisfaction
being able to give back to my own com-
munity," she says, adding, "It's the little
miracles I get to see every day that make
this so rewarding."

Obituaries are updated and
Convention from page C43
as approved by the Platform
Committee in Pittsburgh last week-
end reaffirms the party's historic
and special relationship between
the United States and Israel!'
Republican Plans
Neither the platform nor schedules
are available from the Republicans
yet, either. But a Republican
National Committee spokeswoman
told JTA to expect a focus on faith
issues.
"Faith-based initiatives and fam-
ily values are at the heart of our
party:' said Yohana De La Torre.
The Republican Jewish
Coalition, however, has published
an event schedule.
It offers a telling contrast with
the NJDC schedule, which empha-
sizes tributes to Jewish lawmakers.
Thirty Jewish Democrats serve
in the House of Representatives
and nine in the Senate. There is
only one Jewish Republican in the
House, Rep. Eric Cantor, R-Va., and
two in the Senate. Instead, the RJC
will honor governors and "pro-
Israel" Republican lawmakers.
Still, don't underestimate the
Jewish presence at the Republican
convention: Sen. Joe Lieberman,
I-Conn., who was Al Gore's run-
ning mate on the 2000 Democratic
ticket, has endorsed McCain and
will explain why. Lieberman and
Cantor are under consideration
for the V.P. slot, although both are
considered longshots.
Lieberman's wife, Hadassah,
will address the RJC's women's
luncheon, where the emphasis will
be on policy. It's taking place at
the local Neiman Marcus and will
feature a benefit fashion show for
the Susan G. Komen Foundation,
which funds research into a cure
for breast cancer.
McCain is hoping to make
inroads into the Jewish tendency
to vote Democratic. In fact, the
Jewish vote will figure prominently
into the Jewish programming,
with both the NJDC and the RJC
planning sessions on the subject at
their respective conventions.
Missing this year is the tradi-
tional Jewish gala at each conven-
tion, jointly hosted by AIPAC and
the United Jewish Communities.
Both groups will have represen-
tatives at the conventions, but
declined to say why they have
opted out of the big party. ❑
