JEWISHEXPONENT.COM Miriam’s Advice Well
COPING WITH A CRUSH OF CHRISTMAS CHEER
AT VIRTUAL SCHOOL
A teacher writes Miriam about what seems like much more talk than
usual related to Christmas in virtual schools this year and wonders
how to handle the situation. Miriam responds by noting that virtual
schools have advantages in that kids can just walk away from the
screen if they’re uncomfortable. She also suggests the teacher
remind her educator peers that not all students celebrate Christmas.

For details, read Miriam’s Advice Well online. Miriam welcomes
all questions. Email yours to news@jewishexponent.com and put
“Advice Well Question” in the subject line.

Philacatessen VEGAN RICE AND BEANS
When people think of winter comfort foods, heavy and meaty
stuff like soup, stew and chili comes to mind. Food columnist
Keri White was looking for something a bit different and
developed a recipe for vegan rice and beans that’s as hearty as
the aforementioned carnivore offerings. And pretty much any
variety of bean will work, making it adaptable to what you have
on hand. Read Philacatessen, her online blog, for the recipe. And
check Philacatessen regularly for content not normally found in
the printed edition, including other recipes, gift ideas, restaurant
reviews and food news from around the Delaware Valley.

Jewish Lives Around the World.

JDC (The Joint) is the world’s Jewish 9-1-1, and whether
we’re building resilience in an increasingly anti-Semitic Europe;
assisting poor, elderly Jews, many of whom are Holocaust
survivors, in the former Soviet Union, Latin America, and Europe;
or expanding opportunities for at-risk populations in Israel;
JDC acts upon the Jewish principle that all Jews are
responsible for one another in times of crisis and calm.

Your legacy with JDC will ensure that we continue
to save Jewish lives and build Jewish life around the
globe. In addition to bequest designations in wills and
trusts, JDC welcomes contributions of life insurance,
charitable gift annuities, retirement plan remainders,
and similar assets.

If you are interested in including JDC in your estate
plans, please contact JDC’s Planned Giving department
at 212-885-0871, or at plannedgiving@JDC.org.
