DELRAYNEWSPAPER.COM MAY | 2019 Delray synagogue refurbishes, delivers Torah to Jewish Cartagena community By: Marisa Herman Associate Editor

Rabbi Jack Engel of Anshei Emuna Congregation in Delray Beach has always been enamored by Conver- sos, Jewish people who were persecuted during the Spanish Inquisition and openly practiced Catholicism for hundreds of years.

He said he heard stories of people in those communi- ties in Europe and South America who followed tradi- tions like not mixing meat and dairy, burying the dead immediately and lighting two candles on Friday night, but not because they were Jewish.

“It was just a family custom,” Rabbi Engel said is what many families chalked up the strange [CONT. PG 2]

He also cleverly introduced “the chel- fie” and was frequently spotted on the streets of Delray Beach snapping selfies with citizens around the city. As part of the Change of Command Ceremony, he reached for his selfie stick one last time to take a “cheflie” with the crowd.

Interim City Manger Neal de Jesus said Goldman set the bar in many ways through his leadership.

“Jeff leads by example and I’m proud to have served alongside him and to have developed a friendship with him,” De Jesus said.

De Jesus then presented Goldman with an honorary fire chief hat and an ax as he quipped, “I thought it was finally time to give you the ax.” Chief Goldman takes his final “chelfie” with the crowd.

ADVANCING NEUROLOGICAL REHABILITATION

The DYNAVISION D2 is a revolutionary diagnostic and rehabilitative tool. It works on visuo-motor, neuro-cognitive, and spatial skills as well as on a neurological process termed “efferent copy”. This process engages and integrates two very important regions of the brain; the cerebellum and frontal lobe. These areas of the brain are responsible for everything that makes us human such as problem solving, timing, sequencing, planning, initiating thought processes, and coordination.

The Dynavision D2 has been utilized in many studies including one in which the Conde Center For Chiropractic Neurology, the Upledger Institute, and the Ricky Williams Foundation collaborated on. This study neurologically assessed retired National Football League Players which had at least one concussion in their career. The results were astounding as the players displayed numerous defi ciencies in brain activity.

The Dynavision D2 is used in the treatment of the following conditions: • Dizziness-Vertigo • Traumatic-Mild Traumatic Brain Injuries • Post-Stroke • Parkinson’s Disease • Multiple Sclerosis • Autism Spectrum Disorders
