Last Word Before Aviva Perlo settled in Philadelphia, the author, educator and social worker described herself as a “wandering Jew.” After moving throughout the country, the Texas native decided one day to outline exactly what she wanted in the place she would settle down in and call home: she came up with diversity, creativity, a healthy Jewish community, universities, tradition and trees. She also wanted a place with plenty of museums, affordable housing and a healthy amount of social justice advocacy. “Philadelphia fit my bill,” she said, smiling. Perlo moved to the City of Brotherly Love about 20 years ago, fell in love with it quickly and has stayed in love with it since. As someone who comes from a state and region that isn’t exactly bustling with Jewish life, Perlo said she has found herself energized by the large Jewish community of Philadelphia. “I didn’t know that the options for Jewish life in Philadelphia were so extensive,” she said. “I love that I can hop on a train and go do Jewish stuff two hours north in New York, too, or two hours south in D.C.” Perlo said that the best part of the city she now calls home, however, is its status as a premier spot to study trauma. Trauma is Perlo’s focus, which she teaches and writes about, largely through a Jewish lens. In Philadelphia, she has gotten the chance to learn from the world’s best. “In 2010, there were two M.D.s who started a new Ph.D. program at Drexel in trauma studies that had no precedent — looking at how trauma is an epidemic through epidemiological and statistical analysis,” Perlo said. She studied under both of these physicians, named Dr. Sandra Bloom and Dr. John Rich. In addition to the work she has gotten to do at various Philadelphia area universities, Perlo has learned a lot from Philadelphia’s annual trauma studies conference that attracts hundreds of interested experts to the city. The work is heavy, but for Perlo, there was never another option. “I feel like Hashem called me to do this work,” she said. “My family was not your typical one with Bubbie’s brisket on the stove and one parent who is a doctor and one who is a lawyer, and so I always felt like helping to lift people up was my mission.” Perlo said that while her work isn’t exclusively for Jewish people or through a Jewish organization, it is still inherently Jewish because of the values it exemplifies. She said that the Jewish values of feeding the hungry, caring for the homeless and helping and visiting sick people are shared by social workers. “There are infinite correlations between the two,” she said. For Perlo, the appeal of the thriving Jewish community of Philadelphia is largely in the social aspect of the group. She said that there is one familiar Jewish tradition that really grounds her and reminds her often why she loves her new home. “Part of my gratitude to Philadelphia is for the Jewish activities, which I spend a lot of my time doing. Shabbos is one of the things that has really kept my life juicy and sustained. More than I keep Shabbos, Shabbos keeps me, and it enables me to do things like write a book,” she said. “I can step back and think, ‘What are the words I want to convey? What are the messages that I think will best lift someone up?’” Perlo has been all around and seen Judaism in practice in just about every corner of the country. She said that every community brings its own flair to modern interpretations of Judaism. In the West, she experienced vegan Shabbat dinners and Torah yoga. In Texas, she attended kosher barbecues and fundraisers to benefit the Jewish community and the state of Israel. In Philadelphia, the Jewish experience revolves around community, history and the appreciation of the rich tradition of Jewish community leaders. Perlo said that she thinks that she has gained so much from learning about other places and the people that call them home. “Some people aren’t interested in exploring the different parts of the Jewish community, but I am, and I think it makes us more whole to find out what everyone’s soul is wanting, and why,” she said.

From road closures, power outages, weather declarations and nonstop shoveling, Muskoka residents were faced with nearly a metre of persistent snowfall this weekend. According to Environment Canada, storm accumulations reached 140 centimetres of snow in Gravenhurst and 125 centimetres in Bracebridge. Near-whiteout conditions near Orillia Ont., on Sat., Nov. 30, 2024 (CTV News/David Sullivan) The heavy snowfall led to the closure of Highway 11 in both directions between Orillia and Huntsville on Saturday, with the closure persisting through to Monday morning. OPP Sgt. Kerry Schmidt said police expect the northbound lanes along Highway 11 to reopen around noon Monday from West Street in Orillia to Highway 60 in Huntsville. "There will be limited access. Not every exit and entrance will be open in that stretch," he explained. Except for Luigi Road, all ramps are cleared. Schmidt noted southbound lanes are expected to reopen sometime around 4 p.m. on Monday. Additionally, a dozen trucks were trapped on Country Road 6 in Cooper's Falls near Washago Monday morning. Emergency crews and motorists confirmed to CTV News that hundreds of vehicles were stranded without food or water, some for nearly 30 hours.

The Town of Gravenhurst declared a state of emergency on Sunday after the District Municipality of Muskoka had declared a ‘Significant Weather Event’ on Saturday. Premier Doug Ford posted to social media Monday morning stating the province was working closely with authorities in Gravenhurst and across Muskoka to ensure they have everything they need. “Provincial resources are on hand and more are en route to help where needed. I’m relieved that there are no injuries or fatalities reported.” Ford encouraged residents to stay home until power is restored and roads and highways are safely reopened. Beaver Creek Institution isn’t immune to the power outage, having to switch over to its generator. “We are closely monitoring weather conditions and are prepared to make adjustments as needed to ensure secure access to essential services,” Correctional Service Canada noted in an email to CTV News. Meanwhile, drivers who are low on fuel are advised to find a safe place to park until they can safely access a gas station, or until fuel can be brought to them. OPP add that locals should only dial 911 for life-threatening situations and should contact the non-emergency line at 1-888-310-1122 for all other situations.

Texas GOP Rep. Kay Granger set back by health challenges in last months in Congress, office says

Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin called Saturday's 27-14 loss to unranked Florida a "game with a lot of missed opportunities." "Obviously, a lot was at stake, and we didn't come through," Kiffin told reporters after the loss. Ole Miss headed into the game ranked 10th in the College Football Playoff bracket and ninth in the AP Top 25 poll. The Rebels could have secured a playoff spot by winning out over Florida and Mississippi State. Following Saturday's upset, however, Kiffin and the Rebels are likely to miss out on the newly-expanded CFP. "Go 0-for-3 in the red zone, get no points out of that missed field goal, get stopped twice on fourth downs, and lose the turnover margin," Kiffin said. Ole Miss went into the halftime break tied 14-14 with Florida after multiple missed opportunities in the first half, including a failed fourth down attempt on the Florida 11-yard line and a missed field goal by Caden Davis from 34 yards out. The Gators stopped Ole Miss again, this time on the Florida 10-yard line, to pull ahead in the third quarter. Ole Miss got the ball back with three and a half minutes left on the clock, but quarterback Jaxson Dart was picked off by Bryce Thornton on both of the Rebels' final two drives of the game. The Rebels finished the game having gone 3-for-14 on third downs and 2-for-4 on fourth downs, while committing three turnovers and recording a season-high five dropped passes. Ole Miss also went 0-for-3 inside the red zone, while Florida was 2-for-2 within the 20-yard line. The loss marked Ole Miss' third in SEC play, dropping the Revels out of a four-way tie in the conference standings. Georgia, Tennessee and Alabama remain locked with two SEC losses apiece, while Texas and Texas A&M sit atop the conference with one SEC loss each. The Rebels return to action on Friday with a home game against Mississippi State. Ole Miss may have less to play for after Saturday's loss, but even potentially missing injured wideout Tre Harris, Kiffin's team will enter the matchup as favorites to defeat a program so far winless in SEC play.None

HE is on a mission to help our pets . . . and is here to answer YOUR questions. Sean, who is the head vet at tailored pet food firm tails.com, has helped with owners’ queries for ten years. 4 A reader's miniature Schnauzer just won’t lie down Credit: Getty 4 Sean McCormack, head vet at tails.com, promises he can 'help keep pets happy and healthy' Q: OUR 13-year-old miniature Schnauzer just won’t lie down. Bosco sits up all the time, even to sleep, then he collapses and wakes himself up. He runs around on the field and he doesn’t yelp when I touch his back. But since Friday this has been happening. He’s looking lost and down in the dumps.

This is similar to senile dementia in humans, and it can present as restlessness, confusion or agitation. Inside Britain’s first pet CLONING clinic bringing cats & dogs back to life I’m also wondering if there may be a heart or lung issue, which could mean his breathing is laboured when he lies down due to fluid build-up. But you would usually hear coughing. If it continues for more than a few more days, take him to the vet for a physical exam. Q: MY horse Barnaby whinnies a lot in the day after we lost his equine companion Petra. I regret not taking him to see her at the vet so he understood fully what happened. Do you think it is a good idea to show pets their companion has died? Or could something else be making him do this? He seems healthy. Vicky Brown, Truro, Cornwall Sean says: Poor Barnaby. Normally I recommend our animal friends get to say goodbye after their companion has passed away. But transporting a horse to the scene might be traumatic for them and it could build a very negative association with the horsebox. Think about getting another companion for Barnaby. Horses are social creatures. Perhaps see if anyone with a horse or pony nearby would benefit from them having a new companion. Q: EVERY day in my garden I feed a very beautiful lady fox. She looks in good health with no sign of mange. ut my husband was worried she might be a health risk to our greyhound Woodster. Is she? We keep Woodster in when I feed her so their paths don’t cross. Anne Green, Barnstaple, Devon Sean says: As long as they are not coming in direct contact, it is pretty low risk. No more so than our dogs being out in the park, sniffing and smelling fox poo or urine, or rolling in mess as they are weirdly prone to. There are a few risks, the main one being mange but if your vixen shows no sign, we can largely rule it out. Ensure Woodster’s worming is up to date, and he is covered for lungworm in particular. Q: I HAVE a 4ft deep and 6ft wide pond with about six fairly good sized goldfish in it. Is it OK to keep them out after the harder winters we seem to have had? What do you recommend in terms of feeding too as they definitely get quieter when it is cold. Steve Brown, Middlesbrough Sean says: As long as you have a good depth of water, fish will retreat to the bottom of the pond and do fine as it’s quite insulated down there. A minimum 2-3ft depth is needed, the deeper the better in colder areas. If the pond is frozen for several days, place a bucket of hot water on the ice to melt a hole for airflow. Do not smash the ice as the vibrations harm fish. And do not add hot water to the pond as it can shock fish. Don’t feed outdoor pond fish over winter, as their appetite reduces. Uneaten food will pollute the water. WIN: Faux fur dog bed SWEET dreams are guaranteed for the winner of this luxurious dog bed and treats prize.
