HOW DO YOU HANDLE PRE-ELECTION STRESS?
Pre-election stress is making it hard for one of Miriam’s
readers to sleep, and she wonders how she’ll get through the
next few days. Miriam suggests limiting access to both the
news and social media, for starters. She also recommends
seeking therapy for those that find their worries — election,
COVID-19 or other — are persistently interfering with life.
For further explanation, read Miriam’s Advice Well online.
From dating to parenting, Miriam welcomes all questions.
Email yours to news@jewishexponent.com and put “Advice
Well Question” in the subject line.

Philacatessen STELLA RESTAURANT A NEW CLASSIC
New Hope’s always a nice place to visit on a day trip, and
food columnist Keri White has found another reason to
make the trip. The Ghost Light Inn, a boutique hotel, is
home to Stella, a new restaurant from Jose Garces that
offers great views of the Delaware River and both indoor
and outdoor seating. Read Philacatessen, her online
blog, for the details. And check Philacatessen regularly
for content not normally found in the printed edition,
including recipes, gift ideas, other restaurant reviews and
food news from around the Delaware Valley.

We are members of Pennsylvania’s Jewish community -- your friends and neighbors -- brought together by Democratic Jewish Outreach PA to endorse Joe Biden and Kamaaa Harris because of our American and
Jewish values. Joe Biden is a man of uncommon character and decency. He is a mensch. He and Sen. Harris will champion a government for which we yearn -- one of responsible leadership with justice, compassion
and respect for all Americans. They will restore the soul of our nation. Biden and Harris will meet the challenge of the COVID-19 pandemic with healing and truth. They will advance universal healthcare, address
sysystemic racism with empathy, repair a battered economy, protect Social Security and Medicare and deal with climate change to secure our ppanet’s future for our children and grandchildren. Biden and Harris will
not wink at white supremacists and anti-Semites. They will not see “very fine people” in torch-carrying mobs shouting anti-Semitic, racist, sexist and homophobic slogans. Biden and Harris are friends of Israel. They
will guarantee her security based on conviction, not political expediency. They will restore America’s leadership around the world. And they will stand by our allies -- not betray them to dictators and potentates.
We urge you to vote for Joe Biden and Kamaaa Harris and the distinguished group of men and women running with them for Congress in Pennsylvania -- for the soul of America.
