Large Judaica Collection
Auctioned At Sotheby's
Michael Steinhardt, chairman of
Renaissance Media, is offering his
$11 million Judaica collection, "A
Treasured Legacy: The Michael and
Judy Steinhardt Judaica Collection:'
at auction April 29 at Sotheby's New
York.
Steinhardt, the legendary hedge
fund manager and mega-philanthro-
pist best known for his role in launch-
ing the Birthright Israel program, told
the Jewish Week, "I'm selling it because
I am 72 years old and I have been col-
lecting for over 40 years. No one else
in my family, sadly, has expressed any
deep interest in the collection:'
All the objects will be on view April
24-28 at Sotheby's.
'Beyond Bubbie' Website
Fetes Jewish Grandmothers
Where did your favorite Passover reci-
pes come from? Whether they're your
own innovations or they came to you
on a stained recipe card, they probably
come with good stories: the kugel that
brought a couple together; the time
your dog ate a Tupperware full of mat-
zah balls.
The only thing better than all those
stories would be the ability to capture
them and pass them on. Well, there's
not yet an app for that, but there is a
website, www.beyondbubbie.com , that
brings to life the stories that have long
been associated with Jewish food.
In one story, a little girl accidentally
squirts a million tomato seeds all over
her neat-freak bubbie's white rug.
In another, a boy decides to start a
strudel bakery with his grandmother.
The site features all these stories and
the recipes, too. Some new Passover
additions include Estonian turkey with
matzah stuffing, blueberry crumble
and, of course, chopped liver. Submit
your stories and recipes, and bring
the 21st century into your bubbie's
kitchen.
The Beyond Bubbie project started
with participants of Reboot, a non-
profit group designed to re-imagine
the cultures, traditions and rituals of
Jewish life through talking and eating.
Improved Technology
For Wound Care
New surgical technology at DMC
Huron Valley-Sinai Hospital is helping
improve wound healing after recon-
structive surgery.
The SPY Elite System provides
detailed video and still images of the
blood supply of skin, soft tissue and
muscle as they are being operated on,
using infrared laser.
"When tissue is removed during
reconstruction, the blood supply to
the surrounding area is reduced, mak-
ing it more difficult to achieve healthy
wound healing:' explained Barak
Tanzman, D.O., a plastic surgeon affili-
ated with Huron Valley-Sinai Hospital
"The human eye isn't always accu-
rate but the SPY system shows the
area's blood supply under infrared
laser, so that incisions can be tailored
to areas with good blood supply:'
Tanzman uses the special blood
flow (perfusion) imaging technology
mainly for breast reconstruction after
a mastectomy to treat cancer, although
the SPY Elite System can assist with
other types of reconstructive surgery
that use skin flaps, as well as vascular,
general and neurosurgical cases.
