OHR ESTHER WEEKLY DIGEST: 4-8-21
KIDS CLASSES OPEN! Bring your toddlers again and read the Torah in peace, bring your ping pong prodigy
to our game room, or send your middle-schooler to our bar mitzvah training minyan!
JOKE OF THE WEEK: Q:Why do we clear our search engine browsing history before Passover?A: Because Jewish computers cannot have ‘cookies’.
SHALOM BAYIT TIP: Dr Gottman says that we should not be ambiguous with our partner. Be CLEAR & avoid passive aggressive comments. Instead of “Maybe I would be nicer if the room wasn’t so messy” try “I would like for you to please be neater.”
JEWISH FACT: The Torah lists only 4 animals that have either a split hoof or chew its cud (eg camel). Despite the millions of species that have been discovered, this has not been disproven. It is one of the proofs that the Torah is divinely written.
PARSHA PREVIEW: Shemini! On the eighth (‘Shemini’) day, Aaron & sons are coronated as temple priests, and bring sacrifices. Aaron’s 2 older sons, Nadav & Avihu, bring an unauthorized incense and die. Kosher animals are prescribed (split hoof & chews cub, fins & scales, etc).

Mashadi Bikkur Cholim Introduces CAPE
Mashadi Bikkur Cholim has been building relationships and negotiating for many months to be able to introduce CAPE to our community members. This will be a great benefit as the need for private therapy has increased during the pandemic, has been very hard to find, is expensive and usually not covered by insurance. CAPE has 12 licensed therapists, each specialized with decades of experience, as well as a psychiatrist and nurse practitioner who can dispense medication.
How do you apply for services at CAPE?
Call: 718-224-0566 or email: cape@commonpointqueens.org. The CAPE coordinators will ask for your demographic information such as: name, address, phone contact, birthdate and insurance information. They will also discuss the primary reason you are contacting them. Please feel comfortable giving them this information and stating that you are part of the Mashadi Community. All information are kept strictly confidential. you will then be assigned a therapist who will contact you to intake your information and reason for your contacting CAPE which could take up to two sessions. After that, you will be assigned and matched to a psychotherapist who is usually the same therapist who initially contacts you but not always. Cape bills almost all insurance including Medicare and Medicaid. There will be a sliding scale for those who can not afford co-pay; which UJA will assist. No one who could benefit from Cape's services will be denied care for financial reasons. Submitted by Ramin Mardkha. |
