Recipe submitted by Iris Avgil

Ingredients:

1 ½ cup self-rising flour
1 cup yogurt (or sour cream)
2 tbsp sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
Pinch of salt
Pinch of baking soda

Directions:

Mix the ingredients well

Using a rounded spoon, drop in balls of the mixture into a pot of boiling oil

The balls will turn over automatically when one side is done (fun to watch! Be careful not to get splashed with frying oil!)

When the balls are golden colored, put them on a plate with paper towels.

Tip for keeping oil clean: Slice a piece of raw carrot and drop it into the hot oil before you start deep frying the sufganiy ot. The carrot absorbs the black. When your piece of carrot gets black, take it out and replace it with a fresh slice. It really keeps your oil clean.

J*Company’s ‘King and I’ entertains royally

By Randy Fadem

LA JOLLA, California — Matzah for donuts, dimes for dollars, The King and I is the best show in town.  The performance was mesmerizing.   J* Company captured the power and force of the original play and brought the audience along with them throughout the entire evening.

December 3^rd through the 13^th The King and I is playing at the San Diego Center for Jewish Culture, the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center at the Jacob’s Family Campus in La Jolla.   It is presented and performed by the J Company Youth Theater.

Before the main curtain rose, the artistic director, Joey Landwehr, came out to face the audience.  He acknowledged the many patrons that helped to make this performance possible and then he made a very special announcement.  The lead actor, Daniel Myers who played the King of Siam, had decided to shave his head, not only for the role, but also to raise awareness and money to help cancer victims at Rady’s Children’s Hospital of San Diego.

He invited Myers to come out from behind the curtain and the two stood facing the audience wearing cloth caps on their heads.  Landwehr stated that he had been so moved by Myers’ desire that he decided to join him and they both doffed their caps and revealed their shaven heads to the audience.

Landwehr then announced that he and Daniel had formed a new singing group; “Two Bald Guys.”  This segued into an introduction to honor  Eileen Wingard who was celebrating her 80^th birthday.  They walked over until they stood in front of her and then the “Two Bald Guys” led the audience into singing happy birthday to Wingard, a retired symphony violinist and mother of violinist Myla Wingard, a member of the 16- piece orchestra that provided the overture and accompaniment.

The highlights of the show were the performances by the two leads; Daniel Myers as the King and Ali Viterbi as Lady Anna.  Ali’s poise and British accent successfully captured the often compromised predicament in which her character found herself in the Palace of the King of Siam in 1862.  She filled the role with a robust and full-bodied voice in both her speaking parts and her singing.

Daniel gave a very animated performance of the complex personality of the King.  The latter was an individual torn between his autocratic heritage and his desire to move into the future that Anna and the British represented.  Myers brought this to life with a very expansive use of the stage; his gestures both facially and bodily reached out and engaged the audience.

The performance of the ensemble that represented the King’s two dozen children and the king’s wives were as exciting as the main leads and the various secondary characters.

Within a number of scenes the ensemble was required to change their positions and regroup elsewhere on stage.  They did this with alacrity and fluidity.  Their movements were well choreographed and well rehearsed.  At times they had cameo roles and needed to come forth from the ensemble and interact with one of the main characters.  This they did beautifully.

The ship that brought Anna and her son into Bangkok Harbor, upon docking, miraculously transformed itself into the interior of the Palace replete with books, weapons of war and gorgeous brocade curtains.  These were the initial two scenes and set the tone for the exquisite scenery and imaginative and well designed set changes between scenes.  The entire performance was a visual feast for the eyes.

The show stopping scene occurred shortly into the second act.  This scene, a transcription of a segment from Harriet Beecher Stowe’s  Uncle Tom’s Cabin was staged beautifully by J*Company.  It combined the elements of Greek chorus, symbolic Oriental costuming and mellifluous dance movement which maintained the tension of the scene and had the audience sitting on the edge of their seats.

Perforce with children’s theater there is almost always an actor who steals the show.  This was brought off by Ian Laughbaum who played both the captain and the visiting British delegate.  His exaggerated supercilious British accent for the pompous British delegate brought the house down.  This was a magnificent performance, a captivating play and J*Company has done a tremendous job.

How did J* Company put this performance together?  Surprisingly rehearsals only began October 20^th and ended the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.  The cast ranged in age from age 7 to age 17.  According to a parent of one of the actresses, Melissa Niegocki, for some of the performers this was their first entry into theater.  She cited Hana Pak who played Tuptim as one example.  In addition she said, “This is my daughter’s first season and only her second show and they have treated the kids very well.”  This cast of over four dozen children and teenagers were managed and led by director  Landwehr, choreographer Deven Brawley, music director Jason Chase and stage manager Jamie Gillcrest.

Test-takers do worse in larger groups, Israeli and U.S. researchers find

HAIFA (Press Release)–The larger the number of examinees, the lower the average grade. This is one of the findings of a series of new studies carried out by scientists at the University of Haifa and the University of Michigan.

“It is a well-established fact that subjective factors influence our motivation to compete. Our new studies have shown that objective factors, such as the size of a competing group, also have an effect on motivation,” explains Dr. Avishalom Tor from the University of Haifa’s Faculty of Law.

The series of studies, which Dr. Tor carried out along with Dr. Stephen Garcia of the University of Michigan, were designed to examine whether a large number of participants in a competition would affect motivation and the performance of the individual competitor even in cases where the number of competitors does not influence the anticipated value of winning.

The first study investigated the grades of the SAT university entrance examination across the USA. The scientists divided the number of examinees in each state by the number of sites where the test was held in that state, to determine the average number of examinees per site in each state. The researchers took into consideration differences between the states in relevant socioeconomic variables, finding that the lower the average number of students being examined at the sites of a given state, the higher the average score in that state.

Seeing as it is difficult to make assumptions based on averages calculated at a state level, a second and more focused study was carried out. This time, the results were gathered from a psychological test, known as the Cognitive Reflection Test, that was taken by 1,383 students at the University of Michigan. The data was assembled from 22 different sittings of the same test over the course of three years, when it was known not only how many examinees were taking the test at each session but also their individual grades and demographic variables. This individual-level data similarly showed that the fewer the examinees at a specific session, the higher the average results.

A third study that the researchers carried out consisted of a controlled survey. The experiment asked 74 students to take a short, timed quiz when sitting alone. Half the students were told they belonged to a group of 10 students taking the quiz, while the other half were told there were 100 examinees in total. They were also told that the first 20% to complete the test – without compromising the accuracy of their answers – would be given 5 dollars. The results showed that students who thought they were competing against 9 others completed their tests significantly faster than those who thought they were competing against 99 others, although the accuracy of the responses did not differ between the groups.

Additional experiments directly examined how competitors judge their chances to win, considered interpersonal differences, and showed that the variation in competitive motivation and performance directly results from the drop in the importance ascribed to social comparison (the process by which people evaluate themselves in comparison to others) as the number of competitors rises.

“The results of this study have relevance in almost all areas of life. They shed light on the issue of classroom size, as smaller classes would improve student motivation to ‘compete’ and to strive for better achievements. The findings also affect the workplace: salespersons working in large warehouses, for example, would be lower achievers than those working in small groups,” Dr. Tor concludes.

A Gift of Love

By Natasha Josefowitz, Ph.D.

LA JOLLA, California (Press Release)–It’s been over three weeks since he died, time to start looking through some of his belongings. I started with the drawers by his bedside. I found the usual: eyeglasses, a flashlight, a pocket reading lamp, a letter opener, some change, his Kindle, nail clippers, and—a bill dated last February for a sapphire bracelet from Bowers—I startled.

I have never worn sapphires and have nothing to go with such a bracelet; also, it was purchased seven months ago, and I certainly didn’t receive anything. So if it was not for me, who was it for? I immediately dismissed the thought of another woman, but wondered whether he wanted to thank someone for a favor once given—but we always told each other everything. As it was Sunday, I couldn’t call the jewelry store and so puzzled over this strange find.

Monday morning I called and was told that indeed such a bracelet had been purchased for me by my husband. Didn’t he pick it up? No, I said—I didn’t see it. I was asked to look in my safe and when I answered them that I couldn’t find it anywhere, a search was conducted and the object was found in their safe.

I was so shaken by this that I asked my secretary, Erika, to drive down to the store with me. At my arrival, I was handed two boxes beautifully wrapped. The square box contained lovely sapphire earrings and the larger box a tennis bracelet of small sapphires and diamonds—and I was told the story.

My husband went to the jewelry store last February looking for a sapphire bracelet, as it was a stone he knew I did not have. He ordered a sapphire tennis bracelet to match the ruby one he had bought me previously—“She could wear them together,” he told Chris, the salesman, “But she has no earrings to match.” He found nothing ready made to his liking, so he decided to design from scratch, carefully selecting a matched set of sapphires the sparkling blue color of the stones in the bracelet and small diamonds to surround them. He even secretly brought in a pair of my favorite earrings to match the size and style I like best and remembered to have them made as clips because I don’t have pierced ears.

He had to go many times, and it must have been an effort as he was already in quite a bit of pain. He explained that he wanted it for my birthday in October. By this time, I’m crying, my secretary is crying, Sheila, the owner of the store is crying, and Chris’s eyes are red.

He explains that this was very important to Herman, and he took a very long time choosing the stones and the setting. Once when he came in, Chris told him he looked tired, and Herman replied that he had cancer and was dying and did not think he would still be here for my birthday in October. On June 25^th he called and said he was going for lunch at the Rotary and would be picking them up afterwards, to please wrap them up very beautifully. They would be for our wedding anniversary in July. After lunch, Herman’s pain became worse and he had to lie down. He probably planned to pick it up the next day—except that the next day he was taken by ambulance to hospice and never got better.

I could not believe that this was happening. I had in front of me a posthumous gift from my husband, once again, once more, a gift of love. He had just given me a lovely pin—a coral rose—and I thought it would have been his last present to me—and now this bracelet and earrings. I put both on and walked out sobbing.

Having been so loved and having loved so well in return are the rarest of gifts that anyone on this earth could experience. And so with this bracelet he was telling me once more and for the last time how much he loved me. It will be difficult to wear it without crying—without the pain of missing him so much, but then he would have wanted me to wear it, and so I always will.

The Last Time – the last pair of slippers

By Sheila Orysiek

SAN DIEGO–There is a first and last time for everything.  The first time an infant raises its head to look around at the world.  The last time Moses addressed the Hebrew tribes and then stood on a mountain and watched them walk off into history.  That, for me, is the most poignant portion of the Torah.  And, we each in many ways, face these first and last times, too.  Today I bought my last pair of ballet slippers.

The first time was in 1966 when I had to go downtown San Diego to the only store which sold ballet slippers and pointe shoes.  I had no idea what I was doing, how to chose, or what size for which to ask.  I was at the mercy of the sales clerk, who fortunately was knowledgeable.  I knew nothing of how to sew on the strips of elastic or where upon the shoe they went.  It was all part of the mysterious dance world I was entering.

Through the years I learned exactly where to sew those elastics (one turns down the heel flap and in that fold sits the end of the elastic).  I also learned through the experience of suddenly having the elastic pull loose, that they needed to be sewed on as if my life depended upon it, because if they suddenly pulled free it could precipitate a nasty fall.  Before the days when pink elastic strips were available to match the dance tights, I carefully dipped them in Calamine lotion – the only substance I could think of that was the correct color.

After a year of industrious application to my dance studies I was rewarded one day when my teacher quietly said: “Sheila, you are ready for pointe work – buy pointe shoes.”  I was facing the barre at the time, and she couldn’t see my face but had she been able to – she would have seen a big, huge, happy smile spreading from ear to ear.  Pointe shoes!  At last!

During forty years of dancing and teaching, I bought hundreds of pairs of pointe shoes.  Old pointe shoes replaced my need for slippers although I always kept a pair handy.  It was not unusual for there to be six or seven pairs of dance shoes at any one time in my dance bag.  For performances, the number increased to almost a dozen.  Feet change from hour to hour depending upon weather, amount of work, and the dance to be performed which necessitates a variety of shoes to fit the moment.

Every pair of slippers and pointe shoes is made by hand and even when made by the same hand, are different from pair to pair.  My purchase of that first pair of pointe shoes was fairly simple though I didn’t have the experience to make an informed choice.  The selection was so limited in those years that one made do with what was available.  Today the choices are huge and though that is a good thing, it can also be confusing.

At the end, when retirement came, I had on hand dozens of pairs of pointe shoes.  I winnowed them down to two pairs – one terribly worn (full of its own history) and one pair in fairly clean condition.  I kept them as adjuncts to my series of dance lectures which I was often called upon to give.  People like to see pointe shoes up close – touch them – even try them on.  And, it is surprising to many how worn a shoe can be – the difference is startling.

I also had on hand – at the end of my last class – a pair of slippers.  I have been using them every evening as I give myself a short – very geriatric – a shadow of a shadow of a shadow – of ballet barre work.  Today I don’t do this series of exercises with any future in mind – simply to keep track of my sense of balance and movement.  Lasting only 20 minutes, nevertheless, it gives me an opportunity to move to music and remember.

Well, that last pair of slippers tore last night and today I went to buy another pair.  This will be absolutely, my final pair of dance slippers.  As I sit and sew on the strips of elastic I remember that first time – the excitement and the indecision of exactly where upon the shoe to sew them.  At least, today – 43 years later – as I sew them on, I have no doubt where the elastic goes and how it should feel.  Forty years – a generation of time – but my journey is now from the Promised Land to a desert empty of dance.
