It such a privilege to once again be able to sponsor this year's Tot Shabbat Program at Temple Beth Torah. It is a great way to introduce young children and their parents to Jewish traditions and values in an engaging, family-friendly environment using music, movement, play, and storytelling, while also providing a supportive community for parents to connect with other families and the wider synagogue community. I encourage all of you to take advantage of this free program for your children.

Happy Star Trek Day!
Today we boldly go where no pediatrician has gone before… reminding you that annual checkups are more logical than waiting until your child feels sick.

Even Captain Kirk gets a “wellness exam” before heading out on a five-year mission! Don’t wait until your little ensigns have a medical red alert — schedule their annual checkup today.

Live long, prosper, and stay healthy!
