I was aware o the size o Israel on a map, but when you travel to the border with Syria and Lebanon or down to Gaza, you realize how small it really is.

The dynamic self
Rabbi ben aaRonson Cpitol Hill minynYoure late or a meeting. You pull
into the parking lot, and its entirely ull
except or one illegal spot right near theentrance. I you park there, youll make
it to your meeting on time. I you have to
nd another spot, youll be late.
Tis situation happened to Nobel Lau-
reate and economist Gary Becker. He rea-
soned through the possibilities, conducted
a cost-benet analysis, and made his choice.
Tis incident gave rise to Beckers Simple
Model o Rational Crime, or SMORC
or short. According to SMORC, people
commit crimes because they benet. Tey
examine the likelihood o getting caught,
contrast it with the potential benets or
consequences, and make their choice.
During this time o year we review our
mistakes and ailings. Part o teshuva
repentance is a commitment to avoid
these specic mistakes in the uture. Our
view o decision-making is deeply tied to
this process. Tough SMORC may sound
too robotic to account or the ull range o
human behavior, we oen respond implic-
itly based on this model. We try to incen-
tivize certain behavior, which increases the
likelihood o getting caught (e.g., increased
police patrols) or increases punishments
(increased sentence lengths).
Dan Ariely, an Israeli-American pro-
essor o psychology and behavioral eco-
nomics at Duke University, questioned the
validity o SMORC. He conducted a series
o experiments into the phenomenon o
cheating and dishonesty. In his basic exper-
iment, Ariely had participants complete a
series o dicult matrix math problems.
Tey correctly solved an average o our
problems. He paid participants 50 or each
correct problem. However, when given
the opportunity to sel-report, participants
reported completing an average o six cor-
rect problems, allowing them to collect $3
instead o the $2 they were entitled to.
SMORC predicts that as you increase
the reward and decrease the likelihood o
getting caught, there will be a correspond-
ing increase in cheating. Tis turned out
to be alse. When Ariely increased the
amount paid, as high as $10 per problem,
people actually cheated a little less. All in
all, something besides SMORC seemed to
be driving human behavior.
Ariely proposes an alternate hypothe-
sis to SMORC. He asserts that people are
driven by two competing actors: What a
person wants, and how a person wants to
see him or hersel. Most people see them-
selves as airly good. While people recog-
nize they possess some aults, they gure
they trend overall on the good side. Tis
helps them make certain allowances orless-than-desirable behavior. Tus, some-
one might be willing to udge the number
o problems he or she correctly solved at
50 apiece, but not at $10.
When we view ourselves overall as
good, we are susceptible to what Ariely
calls the udge actor, the degree to
which we are willing to udge the num-
bers while keeping our positive view o
ourselves intact. When we view our-
selves overall as bad, we are susceptible to
another phenomenon, which Ariely calls
the what-the-hell eect. His research
shows that people begin with a little bit o
cheating, but at a certain point, the cheat-
ing increases steeply. People stop kidding
themselves and just cheat as much as they
can, because, What the hell? It doesnt
matter anymore.
Maimonides understood how power-
ul a persons sel-concept can be in dictat-
ing behavior. He writes, A person should
view onesel throughout the year as i he
or she is hal innocent and hal liable, and
so too the whole world, hal innocent and
hal liable. I one perorms a single mis-
deed, one tips the balance or onesel and
the entire world to the side o liable, and
causes destruction or onesel. I one per-
orms a single mitzvah, one tips the bal-
ance or onesel and the entire world to the
side o merit, and causes deliverance and
salvation or onesel and or others (Laws
o eshuva, 3:4).
Based on Ariely, we understand the
pitalls o viewing onesel as completely
righteous or wicked. Tis simplistic view
distorts our sel-concept and our sense o
our own behavior.
But what does it mean to view our-
selves as hal innocent and hal liable,
as i everything hangs in the balance? And
why should we view a single misdeed or
meritorious act as tipping the balance or
onesel and the entire world?
Maimonides instructs us to view our-
selves as developing and in fux, neither
good nor evil. We should view our ate as
undetermined, as i we have not yet been
dened. While the uture is unknown, we
should look at every action as i it could
dene us, tipping the balance o our char-
acter. So, too, the world is neither entirely
good nor entirely evil. It is dynamic and
evolving. We are to act as i our individ-
ual actions dene the world, which indeed
they do.

As one born in Rhodes, I feel I must correct Vic Alhadeffs article (Rhodes: Embracing the
past, Aug. 30). The Spanish Inquisition was in 1492 and the expelled Jews spread along the
Mediterranean on both the north and south coasts, and many who moved eventually to Rhodes
had moved to Italy and Turkey. It was the Turkish leader Suleiman the Great who invited the
Sephardic Jews to move from their adopted countries to Rhodes to encourage trade along the
sea routes Rhodes was situated on.The Turks had conquered the Knights of St. John, who had held the island, and expelled
them before he invited the Sephardim to Rhodes and gave them properties taken from the
knights (much of the old city). So when the Sephardim arrived there, there were no knights on
the island. Vic must be confusing them with the few Romaniot Jews who did live there at the
time of the knights. In all the years from the early 1500s until 1918, Rhodes was a Turkish posses-
sion and the Jews were treated extremely well, and were even allowed to have their own vir-
tual government within the old city. The Italians took over the island after the First World War
in 1918 and initially treated the Jews well, as they were the basis of the economy there. It was
only when Mussolini started to align himself with the Germans that things started to deteriorate.

The JTNews Editor and Publisher recently chided several members of the Jewish com-
munity for questioning the appropriateness of publishing a letter by Linda Frank defending
the Palestinian Authority and its policies toward the Jewish people. In your statement, you
defended publishing Franks letter by citing free speech and criticized some who assert that
the JTNews should not be used as a forum to express such views.
Section 5 of your own Letters Guidelines state:
JTNews seeks views from many perspectives. However, letters that contain obvious fac-
tual inaccuracies, unattributed facts and quotes, unsubstantiated allegations of wrongdo-
ing, insulting comments, or defamatory statements will not be printed. Letters harmful to the
Jewish community, call for the destruction of Israel, or contain hate speech will not be printed.
In July 2013, the JTA News reported that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas
told Egyptian journalists that no Israelis will remain in a future Palestinian state. Quoting
Reuters, the JTA News stated that Abbas made the statements in Cairo when meeting with the
interim Egyptian President. Abbas stated: In a nal solution, we would not see the presence of
a single Israeli civilian or soldier on our lands.
Any fair and objective person understands Abbass statement to mean that no Jew will be
permitted to live in a future Palestinian state. Considering that tens of thousands of Jews live in
Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria, Linda Frank was factually inaccurate and her letter should not
have been printed under your own Letters Guidelines.
Being welcoming, diverse and open minded does not require our local Jewish community
newspaper publishing letters or articles from those advocating the historic homeland of the
Jewish people Judenrein.

In response to the article by Knate Stahl (Between myself and God, Aug. 16), I found this
article offensive. He seems to know so much of Yom Kippur for someone who totally rejects it
by holding a program to help the needy. Offering free food that has been donated and doing
so on Yom Kippur is an embarrassment to the Jewish community at large. If he were a gentile
doing this on Yom Kippur and it wasnt his own personal holiday, then it is another story. But
being Jewish and not claiming ignorance of the importance of this holiday, but doing an essay
on the holiday and its importance to Jewish life and then personally ignoring it is a slap in the
face to the Jewish community.
Not observing Jewish holidays is not new to Judaism; it has been done for centuries. That in
and of itself is not a reason to write a letter to the editor. What has rankled me and caused me
to open up is the fact that he is doing a program that collects food from a supplier and redis-
tributes it to those who are needy. If Mr. Stahl has made an effort to take orders from those who
are observing Yom Kippur and made provisions to have their orders delivered to these people
on Sunday, after Yom Kippur has ended, then ne, do your thing. But if you are not making an
effort to accommodate those people then you are punishing Jews for observing Yom Kippur,
and that is your sin.

Obama on Syria retaliation: Israel can defenditself, has unshakable U.S. support
JNS.org President Barack Obama said uesday night that i Syria were to attack
Israel as retaliation or an American military strike on Syria, Israel would be able to deend
itsel with overwhelming orce and unshakable U.S. support.
Obama said uesday in a nationally televised address that he has asked the leaders o
Congress to postpone a vote to authorize the use o orce while America pursues a dip-
lomatic solution with Russia, which has proposed a deal involving the transer o Syrian
chemical weapons to international supervision.
Neither [President Bashar] Assad nor his allies have any interest in escalation that
would lead to his demise, Obama said. And our ally Israel can deend itsel with over
whelming orce, as well as the unshakable support o the United States o America.
Obama said that ailing to respond to Syrias use o chemical weapons against civilian
would weaken prohibitions against other weapons o mass destruction and embolde
Assads ally, Iran, which must decide whether to ignore international law by building
nuclear weapon or to take a more peaceul path.
Israeli leaders have reacted to Russias plan which does not include punitive me
sures against Syria or using chemical weapons with skepticism. President Shimon Pere
warned that the Syrians, who welcomed the Russian proposal, have proved they are no
credible and that their integrity should not be trusted.

then chaired the Jewish Federation o Greater Seattles annual campaign, was run-

between Israel and Lebanon. Te highlight, however, was a dinner with Prime Min-
ister Yitzhak Rabin.

A different kind of Israel visit for a local Congressman
Judy Lash baLint spcil to JTNwJERUSALEM Congressman Dave
Reichert (R-8th) made his rst visit to
Israel last week, not as part o a ormal
congressional delegation, but with a small
group o rst responders whom he regards
as his peers.Reichert, who spent the majority o his
working lie in law enorcement beore
his election in 2004, spent a week learning
about Israels security operations and meet-
ing Israeli deense personnel in a visit orga-
nized by Proactive Global Security (PGS), a
private security consulting company.
PGS, a recipient o Department o
Homeland Security grants, specializes in
training U.S.-based rst responders in the
latest Israeli security techniques and has
previously provided consulting or Pierce
County and other Washington State secu-
rity personnel.
In promotional materials or the
Reichert trip, PGS stated: Our goal is to
provide critical training in rst response,
and be a partner in establishing the
oundational relationships necessary to
develop a regional response plan, which
includes coordination between the public
and private sector.
Reichert was accompanied by Capt.
Peter Brummel o Eastside Fire and Rescue;
Acting Lt. Erik Allen, Deputy Director
o the Washington State Fusion Center;
Detective im Renihan o the Seattle Police
Department intelligence division; and o-
cers rom Fairax, Va. and Denver, Colo.
Speaking at a dinner in Jerusalem at
the end o the trip, attended by a number
o Israeli opinion makers and a smattering
o Seattle-area immigrants, Reichert said
there was no substitute or seeing Israels

I was aware o the size o Israel on a

you realize how small it really is, he said.
Small and surrounded by enemies.

ing the Green River killings, I thought 19
years was a long struggle, Reichert said.But 65 years is a really long time and you
have many more years ahead o you.

Given Reicherts law-enorcement
background, he said he was most moved
by his meetings with Israeli soldiers, in
particular those stationed a ew hundred
yards rom the border with Gaza.

incredible sense o commitment and pro-

Legislative appointment keeps Jewishcaucus numbers at 9
JoeL MagaLnickeditor, JTNwYou could say she was hand-picked or
the job. When ana Senn was sworn in as
the newest member o the state legislature
on Monday, the moment ollowed a whirl-wind o activity aer Senns predecessor
announced her resignation rom her seat
earlier in the summer.
About six weeks ago, right beore
Marcie Maxwell stepped down about 10
minutes beore she stepped down she
gave me a call and she said, ana, Im taking
a job with the governors oce, and would
love or you to put your name in to replace
me in the legislature, said Senn, 42.
Aer some consultation with her hus-
band and two children, she decided to
throw her hat into the ring.
I looked at my kids and I thought, this
is going to be really hard, she said. I also
looked at them and I thought, I have to
do this, because we need more women and
people with kids in Olympia. I thought it
was really important to do this.
From there came a nomination pro-
cess through the 41st District Democrats
because Maxwell is a Democrat, the
Democratic Party recommends a nom-
inee. Aer Senn rose to the top o that
process, her name was submitted to the
King County Council or a vote. Senn
met with council members last week, and
was sworn in during a council meeting in
downtown Seattle on Sept. 9.
I was very impressed with the local
government experience, and I think that
will be very helpul to all o us in Olym-
pia to have more people who have local
government experience, said council
member Kathy Lambert prior to the vote.
Council member Jane Hague said Senn
served admirably in other civic responsi-bilities and has shone, and I think this is an
obvious next step orward.
Te council voted 8-0, with one member
absent, to appoint Senn to the seat.
anas lielong passion or policy and
experience on the city council will serve
her well in Olympia and allow her to hit
the ground running, said Maxwell in a
statement. Our district is lucky to have
her represent us.
Senns currently sits on Mercer Island City
Council. She plans to keep that seat.
Im very committed to Mercer Island
and Mercer Island City Council, and Im
proud o not having missed any meet-
ings, she said. I realize the time in Olym-
pia might not allow that [to continue].
But, she said, because the upcoming
session is only 60 days, at most I would
miss a couple meetings, I would think.
Senn has also pre-
viously chaired the
government aairs
committee at theJewish Federation o
Greater Seattle and
worked there or two
years as its director
o communications.
Senn said she has three core issues she
wants to ocus on.
A transportation package [is] des-
perately needed or the entire region,
but especially or the 41st, which borders
I-90 and 405 and 167, so thats a critical
issue, she said. Fully unding education,
o course weve got to continue our
work in that direction. And then making
our communities saer, and passing back-
ground checks or gun purchases.
Tough its still our months beore th
next session begins, Senn said shes excit
to get to know her constituency and h
colleagues.
Im really excited to be a part o th
Jewish caucus, Im excited to be a part
the women in Olympia and keeping th
number up, and Im very honored to b
replacing Marcie Maxwell, Senn sai
She was quite an impressive woman an
I know therell be big shoes to ll.

diana bReMent JTNw Colunit
1Ater chatting with
Zach Grashin about
hummus or hal an
hour, I had to go home andmake mysel a batch.
It wasnt Garbanzo Bros.
che David Babanis recipe.
Tat is a top-secret compo-
nent o Garbanzo Bros., the
business Zach and David
ounded last year.
Garbanzo Bros. makes
more than just hummus,
oering prepared kosher
oodin time or Shabbat,
which they deliver on Turs-
days and Fridays and sell at the Stroum
Jewish Community Center on Mercer
Island on uesday aernoons, too.
Born six days apart in dierent states,
these brothers have been riends since
kindergarten and attended Seattle Hebrew
Academy and Northwest Yeshiva High
School together.
Both spent a year aer high school in
Israel, with David on kibbutz, pressing
grapes and bottling olive oil, explains
Zach. David studied at the Jerusalem Culi-
nary Institute then returned to the States,
where he became a partner in Amba, a
vegetarian kosher restaurant in Oakland,
along with other projects in the Bay Area.
David returned to Seattle last year and
worked at RN74 in downtown Seattle,
making hummus on the side, or people in
Seward Park, says Zach. People just loved
it Someone said, You guys should sell it.
Tats morphed into a well-over-ull-
time business or both men.
Im in charge o moving the product,
says Zach. Dave does production.
Depending on the weeks orders, we
can be working 20-hour days, he adds.
Zach, who graduated rom the Univer-
sity o Washington and is currently work-
ing on a masters in screenwriting rom
Goddard, lived in Australia beore return-
ing to Seattle last year. Garbanzo Bros.
started in my amilys house, but has since
moved to an Eastside production acility.
Weve illed a unique niche, says
Zach, delivering everything but the sh
and the meat.
Tey hope to add more wholesale or
bulk business as they look to spread the
beans. Speaking o which, we dont use
canned beans. David employs a unique
and not easy process to cook the beans
that actually takes talent.
Teyve even earned a seal o approval
rom some local Israelis. Israelis usu-
ally disdain hummus outside o Israel
on principle, says Zach, but many here
give the product a thumbs-up, including
some Israeli kids who worked at the J this
summer, who thought it could sell in Israel!

tional video, at gogarbanzo.com.

Late summer veggies give noodles a new look
MichaeL natkin JTNw ColunitCooking pasta by the
absorption method instead o
boiling in a gallon o salted
water may seem scary i you
grew up with noodle ortho-
doxy, but it actually worksgreat and can be a big time
saver. You dont have to wait
or water to boil, and you dont
necessarily have two pots to
clean at the end i you design
your sauce and condiment to
be built in with the pasta.
For this recipe, I toast the
capellini in the oven rst. Tis
is characteristic o how pasta is handled in
Spain, Mexico (where they are called deos),
and the Middle East. I enjoy the additional
browned favors. You can do this while pre-
paring and sauting your vegetables.
Te favor o this dish is quite asser-
tive, with substantial quantities o red
wine, black pepper, smoked paprika and
garlic. It isnt one I would necessarily rec-
ommend or young children or those who
preer milder tastes.
Because we are cooking tomatoes and
zucchini along with the noodles, youll
need less initial liquid than you might
expect. Instead, well have you check along
the way and add more as needed. Also note
that we reserve some o the tomatoes or
garnish. I love to include an
ingredient both resh and raw
in the same dish so we get to
experience the ull range o
its favors.
Peppery Red Wine Capellini
Vegetarian and vegan
1 lb. capellini (angel hair) noodles
3 Tbs. extra virgin olive oil
1/2 large white onion, thinly sliced
6 cloves garlic, minced
1.5 lbs. zucchini, 1/2 dice
1 small bunch asparagus, trimmed
and cut into 1/2 lengths
1.5 cup cherry tomatoes, halved, divided
1 Tbs. smoked paprika (pimenton de la vera)
1 tsp. resh ground black pepper
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
2 Tbs. resh oregano leaves
1 tsp. minced resh rosemary
salt to taste
1-1/4 cups red wine (Tempranillo is a nice choice)
lots o minced resh parsley or garnish
Preheat the oven to 375. Break
the capellini into approximately 3
lengths. Toast on a baking sheet,
tossing occasionally with tongs, or
about 12 minutes, until golden brown.
Meanwhile, in a large pot with a lid (at
least 5.5 quarts), heat the olive oil over
a medium ame. Cook the onion and
garlic with a pinch o salt or 5 min-
utes, allowing them only to soten and
grow aromatic, but not burn. Increase
the heat to medium-high and add the
zucchini and another pinch o salt.
Saut, browning until the noodlescome out o the oven.
Add the noodles on top o the zuc-
chini mixture. Put the asparagus and
two-thirds o the cherry tomatoes on
top o that and sprinkle in the smoked
paprika, black pepper, cayenne pep-
per, oregano and rosemary. Pour the
red wine and 1-1/4 cups o water over
the top. Toss as best you can with
tongs, but it will be hard at frst be-
cause the noodles are sti. Return the
heat to medium and cover.
Every 3 minutes, remove the top and
toss. The total cooking time will prob-
ably be about 8-12 minutes. Toward
the end, taste a noodle each time yo
remove the top to see i it is done.
not, and there isnt any moisture le
on the bottom, add a bit more wine o
water (maybe 1/3 cup).
When the noodles are done to you
liking, make any fnal adjustments t
the seasoning and transer to servin
bowls. Garnish with the remaining un
cooked cherry tomatoes and parsley
and another grind o resh black peppe
Serves 4 as a main course.

A walk through the wilderness to walk off the warcatheRine caRMeL spcil to JTNw
For 32 years, my job has been to be
a soldier. Now my job is to get up every
morning and put one oot in ront o
the other until I get to Katahdin, says
my husband, Rob Carmel, when he has
been asked how hiking the Appalachianrail has changed his lie. He is a man o
ew words, a leader in his community o
ormer soldiers, walking o the war like
Earl Shaer did 65 years earlier.
In 1948, Shaer decided he was going
to walk o the war to work out the expe-
riences o World War II. Four months
later he became the rst person to hike
the entire length o the Appalachian rail
rom Georgia to Maine.
Now Rob and a small group o veter-
ans are walking o the experiences rom
their more recent deployments through
Warrior Hike, a non-prot organization
that helps veterans process their experi-
ences by through-hiking the 2,200-mile
trail. Partnering with the Appalachian
rail Conservancy, Warrior Hike created
the Walk O the War program in light
o the psychological, spiritual, and physi-
cal benets o hiking.
Rob, who is using this experience as
a way to transition rom active duty to
retirement, is the oldest o this years War-
rior Hike group, having turned 50 on the
trail in May. Te group started with 14
men and women, our o whom will com-
plete the ull hike.
Rob has been deployed to Soma-
lia, Kuwait, Iraq and Aghanistan in the
eld artillery specialty sometimes being
responsible or thousands o soldiers at atime. Tough he never suered any glar-
ing physical injuries, he has seen riends
and co-workers killed, children blown
up by Iraqi suicide bombers, and he car-
ries guilt or each amily who had a soldier
come home in a box because he sent him
to do a job. I he didnt have PSD, Id be
worried.
While Rob went to Georgia looking
orward to nally not being a leader, his
quiet determination and commitment put
him squarely in that position again.
We all have similar goals, but this hike
isnt or everyone, he says. You have to
commit yoursel completely; there is no
halway i you want to nish.
Rob tries to inspire the others, but is
thankul not to be responsible or their
lives.
rail lie is not so dierent rom real
lie, he says. Some days are sunnier than
others. Sometimes your path is unclear.
We have days that eel like uphill climbs
usually because they are but we help
each other get through it.
he hikers get support rom trail
angels, people who provide or them, give
them rides and places to stay, and some-
times even snacks and water le anony-
mously by the side o the trail. Initially, it
was dicult or Rob to accept the gener-
osity o strangers. He eventually came to
accept and appreciate the trail magic.
Te last day o Robs hike begins and
ends on opposite sides o Mount Katah-
din, the tallest mountain in Maine. Tat
day happens to all on Yom Kippur. Ou
initial thought was that it was extreme
inconvenient that he would be hikin
through the High Holidays. I grumble
about the rustrations o living as a Jew in
Christian world. Dont people understan
the need to be at services?

signicance is or us as Jews. Each yea

opportunity to take stock o our-
selves and the lives we lead, to
note where we have allen short,
and what we can do to improve
ourselves. By beginning the pro-
cess a month beore, we have the
opportunity to proceed delib-
erately, so we view teshuva
repentance as a challenge
rather than an impossibility. obe successul, we must push our-
selves to improve, but we also
must realize our limitations. We
can be aware o the immense
spiritual challenge beore us
while still knowing that the only
way we can even begin to meet
that challenge is to take it one
step at a time.
Like the preparation or the
High Holidays, through-hiking
is a refective practice. Stepping out o
regular patterns allows us to deeply con-
template our lives. We can acknowledge
our strengths and come to terms with
our challenges. Tis refection
allows us to see beyond our-
selves to our relationships, com-
mitments, communities, and
responsibilities. One step at
a time, we begin to see our
connections more clearly.
As Rob travels through
this process, he can come
home with meaningul
insight into how to move
back into our community while taking o
a new role. Tis challenging hike is pr
paring him or not only a new year, b
a new lie. As he pushes himsel and h

Indonesian and Singaporean customers
who can be skeptical when learning the

try the ood and appreciate it. Teyve even

Peter and David, who grew up at Seattles

David, butwe are both working towar
the same goal. While they dont share livin

Our bodies: Time to tone and atone
Janis siegeL JTNw ColunitAs the Jewish commu-
nity enters the New Year and
atones or the not-so-nice
acts o thoughtlessness or
unkindness we might have
done to others, it might alsobe a good time to look at what
we do to ourselves.
A growing body o clin-
ical evidence shows that
chronic stress can trigger
genetic predispositions to
lie-threatening diseases and
neurodegenerative condi-
tions like dementia, Alzheim-
ers, and Parkinsons disease.
But spirituality, religious community,
and a connection to others can prevent
and even slow the onset o these condi-
tions, according to research rom Israeli
researcher Dr. Yakir Kauman, the direc-
tor o behavioral neurology at Jerusalems
Sarah Herzog Memorial Hospital.
Chronic stress has been shown to be a
risk actor in heart disease, stroke, cancer,
inection, wound healing, autoimmune
disease, depression, inertility, pain, and
many other disease states, Kauman told
simpletoremember.com, a curated Jewish
online site. I anxiety, sadness, anger, or
dissatisaction persist, these eventually will
take their toll on the immune,
nervous, and hormonal sys-
tems and bring about either
mental or physical disease.
Its not the everyday rus-
trations o lie like trac jamsor annoying neighbors that
cause problems, according to
Kauman, but the deep and
long term negative eects o
an unhappy marriage or the
loss o a loved one that get us
into trouble.
But there is good news i
were willing to make changes.
Kauman said we can take charge o our
emotional health by changing our ocus.
He is buoyed by the words o Rebbe
Nahman o Breslov, the great-grandson o
the ounder o the Chassidic movement,
the Baal Shem ov, that guide his work.
I you believe you can damage then
believe you can mend, quoted Kauman.
Amazingly, the same mind-body mecha-
nism that causes disease can work in the
reverse direction and enhance health.
Kauman specializes in studying the
eects o behavior on mental decline in
the elderly.
In 2007, he studied the spiritual and
religious practices o 70 likely Alzheimers
patients who were showing early signs o
cognitive decline.
Kauman enrolled and monitored
these patients to assess their quality o
lie while documenting their spiritual and
religious practices using a standardizedassessment scale.
Study results showed that those subjects
who experienced more spirituality and pri-
vate religious practices accounted or a 17
percent slower rate o mental decline.
Physical and mental disease can be
prevented, said Kauman. he most
proound way to reduce stress is through
changing our state o mind.
Kaumans model, called psychoneu-
roimmunology, or PNI, details the reac-
tions within our bodies brought on by our
behavior.
In our everyday non-stressed lives, our
actions signal the brain to communicate
with the nervous system. Our nervous
system then communicates with the
immune and hormone systems. In this
scenario, the bodys responses are within
normal ranges and are equal to the situa-
tion.
But when were extraordinarily
stressed, our behavior signals the hor-
monal and autonomic nervous systems
directly, and bypassing the brain. Our
bodies then bathe our organs in cortis
excreted rom the endocrine system, an
adrenaline sent out rom the autonom
nervous system. Te body produces the
two potent stress hormones or short-ter
situational help to withstand the stress.Tese two hormones can penetrate th
DNA within the nucleus o our cells, sa
Kauman, and can change their origin
programming, possibly causing them
express a trait or disease.
Te hormones also weaken the immun
system and expose us to diseases we mig
not otherwise be vulnerable to.
Various studies indicate that stre
events or a breakdown o psychologic
deenses are related to the onset o alle
gic, autoimmune, inectious, neoplasti
gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and oth
illnesses, said Kauman.
Other studies tie stress with hea
attacks, stroke, cancer, hypertension, di
betes, arthritis, inertility, depressio
obesity, and many more problems, h
continued, Te rst three illnesses liste
above are the main cause o morbidity an
mortality in Western societies today. T

mind-body interaction, is a signica
