Your health is compromised by stress.
Their lives are challenged by cancer.
You can help each other.
United America
I do not know how the long-term
results of this election will play out
politically, but I do feel that the new
majority of Americans reject a society
that is mean spirited, self-serving and
insensitive.
They want an environment where
people care about each other. E
Pluribus Unum — Out of Many, One.
The remarkable children of Kids Kicking Cancer
want to share the secrets of martial arts breathing,
meditation and focus beyond stress. They also want
to know that there is a purpose in their young lives.
Together with the founder of the program, a Rabbi
and blackbelt who lost his first child to leukemia,
you will learn and be inspired to use very simple
tools that will help preserve your health.

Night Of Pogroms
Thank you for your wonderful article
on Kristallnacht ("Recalling the horror
of the 'Night of Broken Glass' 70 years
ago," Nov. 6, page Al 1).
Readers might be interested in
the work being done in Hameln,
Deutschland (Hamelin, Germany,
in English, site of the Pied Piper
legend), where they are working to
rebuild the synagogue destroyed
on Kristallnacht. Rachel Dohme,
chair of the Jewish Congregation of
Hamelin advises that in Germany they
now prefer the term Pogromnacht,
Night of Pogroms because
Kristallnacht is too pretty a word.

Accept Christian Support
I agree with syndicated columnist
Mona Chapen in your Editor's Letter
("Insights Into Israel," Nov. 6;page A5)
and feel Jews should embrace the love
Israel has from evangelical and other
conservative Christians. A majority
of their support stems from shared
political ideology rather than theology.
If some Christians advocate for Israel
because of theology, so what? Israel
needs their voices now We can worry
about any religious agenda when
Moshiach comes.
Jews should be more concerned
about the Christians who belong
to more liberal denominations that
continue to clamor for divestment
from companies that do business with
Israel.

Corrections
The "We Were Lucky" item about
Kristallnacht (Nov. 6, page Al2)
contained an error. The second
paragraph should have stated: "On
Kristallnacht, 'we heard broken glass
from a Jewish home being ransacked
by Nazi hordes."' Also, in the main
"Kristallnacht" story (page Al 1), the
name of Holocaust Memorial Center
CEO Rabbi Charles Rosenzveig was
misspelled.

Conservation Tips
Reduce Heating Costs
• Turn your thermostat down 2
degrees in winter. For every 2°F
you lower your thermostat, you
save 2 percent on your heating
bill. Be sure to lower the ther-
mostat at the end of the day. A
programmable thermostat can
be set to do this for you.
• Lower the thermostat sev-
eral degrees when entertain-
ing three or more guests. The
combined body heat will keep
everyone warm.
• Whenever possible, heat
your body, not your house.
Use heavy quilts on your bed.
Wear sweaters and warm socks
around your house.
• Keep closet doors closed.
• In summer, heat-producing
fixtures and appliances may
cause your thermostat to keep
your home uncomfortably cool.
• Place lamps, TV, etc., at least
3 feet from the thermostat.
