Dr. Matt Longjohn Tells Us About YMCA's Healthy Kids Day!
According to a new survey commissioned by the YMCA of the USA (Y-USA,) 74 percent of children ages five to 10 do not get the recommended 60 minutes of physical activity per day. Instead, nearly 50 percent of children are watching at least two hours of television a day more than five days a week and spending an hour in front of the computer at least three days a week. As many parents struggle to find the time and resources to incorporate physical activity and healthy habits into their kids’ daily routine, how can they be sure their children are getting enough?
This year marks the 20th anniversary of YMCA’s Healthy Kids Day™ – a national initiative to improve the health and well-being of families across the country. As a leading nonprofit for healthy living, the Y created Healthy Kids Day to celebrate and promote good health for kids, encourage active play and inspire a lifetime love of physical activity.
This year, nearly 1,600 Ys will celebrate Healthy Kids Day with events across the country. In this radio interview, Dr. Matt Longjohn will discuss the issue of childhood obesity and inactivity in today’s children , and what can be done to help them get the amount of exercise required to live healthy lives. He’ll be joined by Lynne Vaughan who will explain what YMCA’s Healthy Kids Day is all about. She’ll stress that by making time for active play every day, families can work together, have fun and achieve greater health and well-being for their spirits, minds and bodies.

With Passover Coming Up, Rabbi Irwin Kula Gives Us the Skinny on Passover Food!
Of all the Jewish holidays, Passover is the one most commonly observed, even by otherwise non-observant Jews. According to the1990 National Jewish Population Survey (NJPS), more than 80% of Jews have attended a Passover seder.Passover begins on the 15th day of the Jewish month of Nissan. It is the first of the three major festivals with both historical and agricultural significance (the other two are Shavu'ot and Sukkot). Agriculturally, it represents the beginning of the harvest season in Israel, but little attention is paid to this aspect of the holiday. The primary observances of Pesach are related to the Exodus from Egypt after generations of slavery. This story is told in Exodus, Ch. 1-15. Many of the Pesach observances are instituted in Chs. 12-15.
Rabbi Kula tells us about:
--The ritual foods, i.e., matzah, bitter herbs, parsley, the shank bone, and roasted egg--what they mean and why you are obliged to eat them.
--The importance of home recipes, those handed down through the generations – i.e., matzah ball soup, and brisket. --Why is food so important; how our values and memories and love come with food.
Rabbi Irwin Kula was listed in Newsweek for four years as one of America’s top ten rabbis, and author of the award winning book Yearnings: Embracing the Sacred Messiness of Life, looks at the holiday and the dance between insecurity and romance in creating a soul mate. Kula’s appeared regularly on NBC’s Today Show, was a repeat guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show, and co-hosted the weekly radio show, Hirschfield and Kula.
