  Israeli start-up Veterix has developed an innovative new electronic capsule that sits in the stomach of a cow, sheep, or goat, sending out real-time information on the health of the herd to the farmer via Email or cell phone. The e-capsule, which also sends out alerts if animals are distressed, injured, or lost, is now being tested on a herd of cows, in the hopes that the device will lead to tastier and healthier meat and milk supplies.

Dear Friends,

For the second year, Jewish Family Services of Dutchess County is
supporting a wonderful outreach initiative originated by Jane LaLone, an
active member of Vassar Temple.  Our goal is to seek modest donations with the aim of providing small Chanukah gifts/gift cards, Chanukah candles, latke mix,  and chocolate "gelt" to local Jewish families in need. Please make donations payable to "Jewish Family Services of Dutchess" and mail to JFS, 110 S. Grand Ave., Poughkeepsie, NY  12603 and put "Chanukah Drive" on the memo line.  Alternatively, you can give your contribution to Jane Lalone if you see her -- and she will forward it to JFS.

Of equal importance, please let JFS know if there are members of your
congregation -- or unaffiliated friends/acquaintances/online friends --
who might need such Chanukah "care packages."  This information will, of course, be treated confidentially and will be seen only be me (Linda Tafapolsky).

Feel free to forward this email to friends and acquaintances, or share
the information in your congregational e-bulletins.
