Last chance to sign of for the winter cycle of this highly regarded stress management course. Please contact me to register by 31 December by writing to me at drmiriammaisel@hotmail.com.
Stress is pervasive in our world and this year has brought extreme stresses to many people. This particular course is skill based (rather than treatment) and is aimed at everyday stress rather than extreme situations. However I believe that the benefits of the skill set acquired will also help when things are very tough, and will also help us to help others more.
Extending best wishes for a healthy and wholesome holiday season and new year!

כולם מכירים את הסיפור של יאנוש קורצ׳אק, הסופר והמחנך היהודי הנודע, שבחר ללכת עם ילדי בית היתומים שלו, למחנה ההשמדה למרות האפשרות להינצל.
קצת פחות מוכרת היא שותפתו, סטפניה וילצ׳ינסקה, מנהלת בית היתומים, שגם היא הקריבה את חייה עבור הילדים בני חסותם..
"סטפה הייתה האם שלנו. היא הייתה מנהלת המוסד, אישיות מאוד חשובה בחיינו. היא דאגה לנו בכל דבר. בכל דבר הייתה ידה. היא ניהלה את הבית בצורה בלתי רגילה. היא ניהלה את חיינו, את הכל. נכון שמשנתו של קורצ'אק, שיטתו החינוכית, אז, לפני כמאה שנה, היתה משהו מהפכני – אבל סטפה ניהלה את חיינו, את הכל".

כך כתב אודותיה האמן יצחק בלפר אחרון היתומים, אשר הלך לעולמו לפני כשנה.

בשנות ה-30 החלה סטפה לחשוב על עליה לארץ ישראל. חברה טובה שלה עלתה ארצה והתיישבה בקיבוץ עין חרוד, וסטפה באה לבקר, ואף הוזמנה להישאר בקיבוץ. היא חשבה רבות על הנושא, ואפילו החלה ללמוד עברית, אבל בסופו של דבר לא יכלה לעזוב את הילדים. ביקורה האחרון בארץ היה בשנת 1939, ובמאי של אותה שנה החליטה לעלות על ספינה ולחזור לטיפול בילדים באווירה ההולכת ומעכירה של אירופה. גם כשהמצב התדרדר באמת, נשארה איתנה בהחלטתה להישאר לצד הילדים. במכתב לחבריה בעין חרוד, שהועבר דרך הצלב האדום בשנת 1940, היא הסבירה את החלטתה: ״אינני יכולה לבוא בלי הילדים״.

בשנת 1942, היא צעדה, יחד עם קורצ׳אק והילדים, אל הרכבת שלקחה אותם אל מחנה ההשמדה טרבלינקה. שם נרצחה, היום לפני 80 שנה.

הסופרת עמלה עינת מנציחה את זכרה של סטפה ומכירה אותה לנוער, בספרה "סטפה אהובתי: מפגש אחד או שלוש פרידות", הוצאה גלילית, 2015.

סטפה נוכחת גם בסדרת ספרי הנוער עטורי הפרסים של תמי שם טוב:
"אני לא גנב" ו"אני לא עוזב" המספרים את סיפורו של בית היתומים.
הספר "אני לא גנב" עובד להצגה בתיאטרון המדיטק.

RIP Dr Hans Diehl a pioneer in disease prevention and reversal with plant based diet and founder of the CHIP program (Complete Health Improvement Program).I had the privilege of meeting him at a conference and receiving help and comments on my book chapter before publication. A wise man, ahead of his time, and also a very warm and kind one.
