It’s time for something geshmak. That means tasty, and it’s the perfect word to describe the annual Yiddish Food Festival at the Mt. Sinai Synagogue in Cheyenne. It took place May 18, 2008.

Dear Mt. Sinai Community,
On March 8, 2008 we picked up Helen Zigmond and traveled to Denver to visit Uri. We enjoyed several hours of Uri’s company while his wife Chris and their son, Mike, were busy at the county democratic convention. When we first arrived, Uri saw Warrie and Helen and immediately called out their names. This was very funny because Chris had mentioned he might have trouble remembering our names. We really enjoyed noticing the familiar twinkle in Uri’s eye. His sense of humor remains firmly intact and we all laughed when Uri told Warrie he looked like he had gained weight. Uri also had to “think about” sharing the treats Sherri and Lila made for him. Shelby and Jacob brought their instruments along and gave Uri a short concert, which he really enjoyed. Uri truly remembers and loves everyone at Mt. Sinai. He voiced his desire to visit the synagogue as soon as he could.
It is exciting to see Uri making such great progress!
Fondly,
Sherri Means and family

Uri continues to make slow progress in his rehabilitation.
November 16, 2007
Uri has had several setbacks of late and they have caused him to lose some of his gains. He ended his time at the outpatient therapy facility with a new pressure sore on a bunion that caused him not to be able to walk for awhile. He also was dead tired. The combination of three therapies every day was just too much for him. He really is quite fragile. As it turned out, he was also battling a "bug" that caused him sinusitis and GI misery. People who have had a stroke as significant as Uri's, don't bounce back so easily. So, for several weeks he was sick and while we got back to walking with a new physical therapist and more holes cut out of his tennis shoes, he has yet to bounce totally back.
On a good note, we started with a speech therapist closer to home whom I really like. She is curious and excited about helping Uri back to his previous level of speaking and cognition. We've only been going for two weeks and already I see a huge change. I think he is more optimistic, too. Also, he is starting with a new occupational therapist, because his arm is really beginning to "come back." I just pray that he is not attacked by any more winter "bugs"!! They are a misery for him. And me!
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
Chris
