e-blasts prior to programs. If you are not receiving our Rochester Hadassah
emails, please let us know. What started as just AOL issues may now happen with
other servers. And unfortunately we do not always know who is not getting the

After Pittsburgh, Hadassah Expert Offers Coping Strategies for Children
What do you tell children in the aftermath of terrifying violence like
we Americans just witnessed in the Squirrel Hill synagogue in
Pittsburgh? What red flags must we be alert to in our children? How do
we fortify ourselves so we can guide our children toward a return to
normal life?
World-renowned psychiatrist, Prof. Esti
Galili-Weisstub of the Hadassah Medical Organization in Jerusalem, has
traveled to countless cities--from Berlin to Kiev to Las Vegas--to share
her expertise in helping 800 children overcome the post-traumatic
stress they experienced as victims of terror and other tragic events in
Israel.
