Life: A physical, emotional, and spiritual approach to Breast Cancer protection- November 23, 2-4 pm, at the JCC.

TBE and Beth Israel Sisterhood’s, Hadassah, and ORT and are delighted to be co-sponsoring a free community-wide wellness event at the JCC on November 23rd, from 2-4 p.m. Back by popular demand after a presentation at last year’s Hadassah Regional conference, entitled “Breast Cancer, What’s being Jewish got to do with it?“ is Dr. Ruth Lerman, a Beaumont Internist, specializing in Breast Disease, and Whitney Ducaine, a Certified Genetics Counselor, specializing in Cancer Genetics. Dr. Lerman is a breast cancer survivor who has studied with several world-renowned physicians including Rachel Remen M.D. and Jon Kabat-Zinn who specialize in mind/body approaches to healing, and has added this to her repertoire of traditional medical care in the healing process. She was a founding member of a program that utilizes Mikvah for spiritual healing after breast cancer, and developed and leads the Silver Linings Breast Cancer Survivors Workshops which offers support and educational services in the metro-Detroit area.

The team will be talking about how to lower the risk of developing Breast Cancer, find Breast Cancer at it's earliest most easily cured stage through effective screening techniques, and be more proactive and empowered through the newest medical approaches, mind-body medicine and Jewish Spirituality. Also a discussion of the genes that cause an increased risk of breast and ovarian cancer in Jewish Women; when to consider genetic testing; the myths surrounding testing as well as the benefits of knowing this information. We will be learning how to lower one’s risk of developing breast cancer.  She will demonstrate and teach several of these techniques as well. Please wear comfortable clothes.

Lilith - January 11, 2009 at 7:30

TBE, in the adult lounge

More free-flowing than a book club, not as spiritual as a Rosh Chodesh group, and more intimate than a lecture; a Lilith salon is a gathering where a dozen or so people meet for an evening of good talk, refreshments, and renewed energy.  Each salon has trigger topics taken from the latest issue of Lilith, but the conversation moves in whatever directions the participants take it.
