SPIRIT: “Planning for Your Future – If Not Now, When?”
2023-09-12 12:00 - 13:00 (America/New_York)
“Planning for Your Future – If Not Now, When?”
Some conversations are hard to have but are, nonetheless, very important. This presentation will help you ponder your healthcare future and enable you to empower loved ones with information they need to know about your wishes. Then, and only then, will they be able to speak on your behalf if you can no longer speak for yourself.
We are about to celebrate Rosh Hashanah 5784, and IYH it should be a year of good health, happiness, and peace. May we all be sealed in the Book of Life. Yet, the fragility of life encourages us to consider how to do better for ourselves and our families by planning what we can plan. So, let’s take steps to get our house in order by becoming familiar with an easy-to-understand resource called the Five Wishes.
Presented by Toby Weiss, MS, OD

As you know, over Simchas Torah 5784 in the early hours of the morning, Hamas launched an unprecedented attack on Israel, killing unknown numbers of civilians and soldiers and taking hostages into Gaza. In addition to tefillah and tzedakah, we can ensure that America is there to support Israel in its time of extreme need. We will conduct briefings with OU community members across all age demographics, encouraging you to engage with your local elected officials in Washington, D.C. We will host a briefing next Tuesday outlining how to engage your elected officials.

SPIRIT: KEEPING STRONG TOGETHER: Let's Talk . . .
2023-11-08 12:00 - 13:00 (America/New_York)
KEEPING STRONG TOGETHER: Let’s Talk . . .
Everyone in the OU SPIRIT program is affected by the current Israeli matzav – we may have children and grandchildren living in Eretz Yisroel, serving in the IDF, or perhaps we are living in Israel. Wherever we are living, we are constantly worried and concerned about our loved ones, and they are concerned for us.
How are we coping in these difficult times? Join us for this “Let’s Talk” session to share your experiences, learn from others, and receive support from others in similar situations.
Please note:

Let’s Talk sessions will not be recorded.
LET’S TALK is a social component of the Orthodox Union’s SPIRIT (The Stimulating Program Initiative for Retirees That Inspires Thought). Those who choose to participate in a LET’S TALK session will be assigned to a breakout room by the Host. Breakout Room assignments will be random and will allow for audio/video/chat interaction among participants. The Orthodox Union will not provide contact information following the program for any participants. Participants may provide their own contact information at their own discretion. The Orthodox Union assumes no responsibility and disclaims all liability for any comments made during any LET’S TALK session or any follow-up interactions.

SPIRIT: Woman of Few Words: An Interview with Cheri Tannenbaum
2024-01-09 12:00 - 13:00 (America/New_York)
Woman of Few Words: An Interview with Cheri Tannenbaum
Please join us for a pre-recorded interview with Rebbetzin Judi Steinig and Cheri Tannenbaum, author of Woman of Few Words, as Cheri describes her life journey through Dystonia and how she has coped with this disorder.
Cheryl (Cheri) Tannenbaum was born in Alberta, Canada, and spent her teen years in the sixties as a fun-loving, gregarious flower child doing yoga. As she reached young adulthood, Cheri sought answers to the bigger questions of life. Delving into her Jewish roots, she found answers. During a year spent at Stern College in New York immersing herself in Jewish learning, she began experiencing bizarre, debilitating symptoms, which progressed until she found herself unable to speak or to walk normally. Thus began her two-year journey to a proper diagnosis, ultimately identified as the movement disorder dystonia musculorum deformans. Having no choice in the matter, Cheri went on with her life. She fell in love, married, obtained a bachelor s degree in psychology from UCLA and a master’s degree in human development from Pacific Oaks College, had three miracle children, pursued her eclectic artistic talents, learned to play the harp, became a grandmother, and along the way learned how to live, love, cry, and overcome with a serious disability. Today Cheri lives in Efrat, Israel with her husband Harvey.

SPECIAL NOTE FROM CHERI TANNENBAUM: This program was pre-recoded prior to October 7, so there is no mention of anything that is happening in Israel because of the current Matzav.
To update our viewers on my family, my younger daughter. son-in-law and three children went to Cleveland on shlichut in August 2023. After October 7, my son-in-law got called in by the IDF, and he returned to guarding the Lebanonese border, which he did for 6 weeks. All I could think about was how his wife and children were coping without him, and how his newborn didn’t know what her father’s touch was. He finally was able to return to Cleveland, but it was only for a week and a half! I thought to myself, he is part of the miluim (army reserves), and he is also an out -of-town shaliach. He could have prioritized to stay with his family and do his shlichut work, but his dedication to his country came first, and he went back to the Lebanonese border. It is not an easy decision, but if everyone prioritized their family over fighting for our country, there would be no soldiers and no protection.
My son, Simcha, is a Rav on a paratrooper base. He is in charge of the spiritual religious aspects of the soldiers and provides them with tefillin and tzizit. He makes sure there is an eruv and a Sefer Torah in the shetach and a myriad of other duties. He gives chizzuk to the soldiers who are going in and to the soldiers who are leaving as well as a shoulder to cry and lean on.
This is our life now. We sometimes get sirens. Our safe room is in our apartment in Efrat. My older daughter, son-in-law and their 6 children and a dog run from upstairs to our safe room downstairs. Usually, 3 of them are crying hysterically and we all try to stay calm and soothe them. Despite all that is happening, I am home. Israel is my country, and I have no doubt that Israel will prevail like it is has always done. Am Yisrael Chai!
