No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a
retrieval system or transmitted in any form or by any means,
electronic, mechanical, photocopying or otherwise, without
the prior permission of the publisher.
elcome to the 13th edition of the Guide to Jewish Life, which celebrates
the tremendous diversity and strength of our Jewish community.
This Guide presents information that we hope will engage your interest
and perhaps help you become involved in an aspect of Jewish life that you
find meaningful. Participating in activities with others who share your
values is a great way to make new friends, expand your intellectual and spiritual
horizons, and make a difference in the lives of those who need a helping hand.
Our community is admired throughout the country for the way we care for each other and for
Jews all over the world. We at the Jewish Standard are privileged to work in the community,
serve it, and be part of it. Look at everything that we do together if there is a program to be
established or a building to be built it gets done. We are blessed with people who never hesitate
to give back through money, time, effort, or whatever else it takes.
As you look through these pages, we hope that you will be inspired to connect with the
institutions and organizations that offer worthwhile programs and events. Make this the year to
go to a cultural program at the Kaplen JCC on the Palisades, take an adult education class
through the Melton Adult Mini-School, or make a meaningful spiritual connection at your local
synagogue. And dont forget to sample some of the many wonderful programs offered by the
Jewish Federation of Northern New Jersey.
While were talking about sampling, be sure to try out all the wonderful kosher and glatt kosher
restaurants and markets that cater to the needs of the local Jewish community and make it a
prime attraction for Jews from around the tristate area.
When you consider the wonderful programs, classes, synagogues, and communal life here in
northern New Jersey, we hope you consider making a financial contribution to the Federation.
Your dollars are used to strengthen Jewish life, both here and in Israel.
As for our own publishing company, there has never been a more exciting time for us to connect
with our readers. As you have seen, your weekly Jewish Standard looks different now. Weve
spent the good part of a year tweaking and fine-tuning till we got it right. (Is it ever entirely
right?) The response to our new design has been humbling, even from fellow publishers from
around the country, who look at us as a model.
And thanks to you, our readers, who kept us on our toes throughout the process, letting us
know what we were doing right and what needed to be adjusted.
Look for an updated website shortly, for new publications, and even some cool apps. Ask your
children or grandchildren. Theyll know exactly how it works!
Above all, a big thank you to all the organizations and institutional leaders who contributed
information to this comprehensive Guide. Were proud of you and thrilled to call northern
New Jersey our home.

To learn about Jewish Federation and its network of beneficiary
agencies, or to learn about Federations volunteer opportunities,
contact Alice Blass 201-820-3948, or aliceb@jfnnj.org.
Jewish Federation of Northern New Jersey Mission:
Federation adds value by providing the leadership necessary to
create a strong, collaborative, caring, and vibrant Jewish
community in northern New Jersey and abroad.
In support of its mission, Federation
Strengthens Jewish education, identity, and continuity
Provides a safety net for those in need
Deepens connections with Israel
Federation plays a distinct role in northern New Jersey,
championing and strengthening a sense of Jewish community.
Federation acts as a convener, a connector, and a rallying point for
action. Federation focuses on the future and collaborates with its
partners to create a stronger, more caring and more vibrant Jewish
community in northern New Jersey.
Federations Annual Campaign is the
communitys central resource for
supporting programs and services
throughout northern New Jersey, including
Bergen, parts of Passaic, Hudson, and
Morris counties, as well as in Israel and
around the world.
Federation directly supports local
programs, including Caf Europa (for aging
Holocaust survivors), Care Management at
Jewish Family Service of Bergen County
and North Bergen, Care Management and
Nursing Services for the Elderly at Jewish
Family Service of North Jersey, the
Kehillah Cooperative, Kosher Nutrition,
Hunger Relief and Social Isolation
Reduction through JFS of Bergen and North
Hudson, a collaborative professional
development for teachers at day schools,
outreach programming with the PJ Library
(through the Kehillah Partnership of the
Bergen County Y, a JCC), and an Israel
advocacy initiative at Rutgers Hillel. This
year, three new agencies/programs are
being funded: the Jewish Historical Society
of North jersey, Shaar Communities, and
Sharsheret.
A major Federation priority is helping
Israel through ongoing programs and
special initiatives. Federations Annual
Campaign helps support a safety net of
social services through its partners on the
ground, the American Jewish Joint
Distribution Committee, and the Jewish
Agency for Israel, helping nearly 1.5 million
Israelis who live below the poverty line
including 600,000 children. Overseas
programs funded by Federation include
hunger relief in the former Soviet Union,
scholastic assistance for Ethiopian children,
and Jewish identity-building for secular
Israeli youth. Federation partners with
nearly 60 beneficiary agencies and
programs locally, nationally, in Israel, and
around the world.
Response to Emergencies
Federation coordinates the delivery of
material and support to people in places
where emergencies arise. At the onset of
an emergency, Federation opens a mailbox
to receive donations. 100% of every dollar
received goes directly to Federations
partner agencies on the ground, the
American Jewish Joint Distribution
Committee and/or the Jewish Agency for
Israel, who are able to provide immediate
help. Through Federation, the community
raised more than $200,000 in 2010 for Haiti
Earthquake Relief. In past years, Federation
raised $400,000 for Hurricane Katrina relief,
and more than $6 million during and after
the Second Lebanon War in 2006.
Engaging and Educating the
Next Generation of Leaders
Berrie Fellows Leadership Program
Identifying, engaging, educating and
inspiring the next generation of volunteer
leadership for our community is a major
Federation priority. The Berrie Fellows
Leadership Program is a nationally
recognized program funded and inspired
by the Russell Berrie Foundation. It is
named in memory of Jewish communal
leader and philanthropist, Russell Berrie.
Two groups, totaling 43 Berrie Fellows,
have already completed the program and
are assuming major leadership positions
throughout the community and beyond. A
third cohort will have completed the
program in June 2013. The program is
designed to integrate Jewish leadership
learning, personal leadership learning, and
tactical leadership learning to empower the
individual Fellow to approach their
leadership role with the goal of making
transformational change in the community.
The motto of the program is: Learning that
Leads to Action. The Fellows are
encouraged to work with the alumni and
together, the Berrie Network is positioned
to do great things.
For more information, contact Laura
Freeman, Berrie Fellows Leadership
Program Director, 201-820-3923 or
lauraf@jfnnj.org.
Strengthening Synagogue Life
Jewish Federation strengthens
synagogue life through the programs and
services of its Synagogue Leadership
Initiative, an innovative and cutting-edge
Federation department, whose work is
funded by a partnership between
Federation and the Henry and Marilyn
Taub Foundation. SLI, through its various
programs, seminars and affinity group
meetings, enables synagogue leaders from
congregations throughout northern New
Jersey to work together to address shared
challenges and opportunities via its mergers
and collaborations groups; to compare
notes on membership, marketing ideas,
other areas of synagogue in-reach and
outreach; and to facilitate strategic work
with synagogues toward achieving
meaningful and sustainable change. For
more information, contact Lisa Harris Glass,
Director, Synagogue Leadership Initiative,
201-820-3941 or lisag@jfnnj.org.
Annual Campaign
Federations Annual Campaign meets
needs, both ongoing and emerging,
whenever Jews require help. The Annual
Campaign maximizes the impact of
personal philanthropy. Donations currently
made by over 6,500 contributors enable our
community to identify and meet the most
pressing needs of Jews who live in
northern New Jersey, in Israel, and in 60
countries around the globe.
No other philanthropic effort connects
as many donors from northern New Jersey
to as diverse and extensive a range of
programs as Federations Annual Campaign.
Your contribution:
Welcomes newcomers to our community
Feeds and comforts those who are
hungry or lonely
Rescues those in danger
Celebrates our shared heritage
Teaches our children
Strengthens our communitys ability to
help all those in need
Helps those affected by economic crises,
emergencies, or natural disasters
Because of our communitys generosity,
Federation is able to serve more than
100,000 Jewish people in 90 communities
in Bergen County, and parts of Passaic and
Hudson counties.
Federation serves more than 100,000
Jewish people in 90 communities in Bergen
County, and parts of Passaic, Hudson, and
Morris counties.
Donations to the Annual Campaign
enable Federation to be there when it
matters to Jewish people, whether they are
seeking to enrich their Jewish lives or need
help.
The Annual Campaign also helps people
in the community adversely affected by
economic crises. For more information

Development, 201-820-3952, or

How Federation helps meet needs
here in northern New Jersey
Older Adult Nutrition Programs:
Meeting the basic need for nutritionally
balanced meals among older adults many
of whom are the frail, home-bound elderly
represents a true partnership between
Federation and its beneficiary agencies. By
leveraging grant funds with donations to
the Annual Campaign, Federation directly
subsidizes half the cost of home-delivered
and congregate meals for older adults.
Home-delivery of hot kosher meals is
coordinated by the two Jewish Family
Services through their Kosher Meals-on-
Wheels programs. Congregate meals are
available at the Center for Older Adults
(housed at the Teaneck Jewish Center and
administered by the Kaplen JCC), the
Bergen County Y, a JCC, the Kaplen JCC on
the Palisades, and Daughters of Miriam
Apartments. Most kosher meals are
prepared and delivered by the Jewish
Home at Rockleigh. Nearly 60,000 meals
per year are directly subsidized by
Federation.
A new pilot program this year is the
delivery of grocery and other items to
individuals who are homebound or have
difficulty with shopping and are able to
prepare their own meals. A case manager
and nutritionist will meet with older adults
in their homes to introduce them to the
program, plan nutritionally balanced
menus, and teach how to order home
delivered groceries. The delivery charge is
covered by this program for the first six

Programs for Individuals with Special
Needs: Federation supports many programs
and agencies specifically serving
Individuals with Special Needs and their
families. Among the Jewish educational
programs receiving Federation Allocations
are: SINAI Schools (a day school for
individuals with special needs), Temple
Avodat Shalom Individualized Program, and
Temple Emanu El of the Pascack Valley
Chai Program (two regional supplemental
Jewish education programs that assist
children with learning disabilities), and
Jewish Education for Special Children
(JESC) (a program that provides Jewish
educational and cultural activities for
children with more profound special needs,
enabling them to participate in mainstream
Jewish life). Additionally, Federation
provides funding to the Jewish Association

which provides supported independent
living environments for Individuals with
Special Needs as well as respite services for
family caregivers. Federation works with

and the Jewish Agency for Israel (JAFI)
rescue and bring to safety Jews, who find
themselves in danger, whether because of
physical threat, political turmoil, or
economic collapse. The JDC has primarily
responsibility for identifying and assisting
Jews in peril throughout the world and
JAFI has primary responsibility for the
absorption and integration of new migrs
into Israel. migrs from Ethiopia, Yemen,
Argentina, France, and the former Soviet
Union have all been helped to start new
lives, free from persecution, ready to
realize the Zionist dream. Some find greater
economic opportunities and can contribute
to the strengthening of the State of Israel.
However, of the nearly 90,000 Ethiopian
Jews living in Israel, more than 80% are
living in poverty. Additional funds directly
aid youth and their parents who need help
entering mainstream Israeli life. The
Federation system enables it to respond to
crises wherever and whenever they occur.
Programs for at-risk youth in Israel:
Federation supports, through direct
allocations or its core (unrestricted)
allocations to JAFI and JDC, programs
which provide high-tech education and
training, leadership development, pre-army
preparation, and/or other supportive
services helping reverse a cycle of
dependence as well as assist disadvantaged
and at-risk youth to become contributing
members of Israeli society.
Hunger relief and basic needs for
older adults in the former Soviet Union:
Federation funds programs that, through the
JDC, provide hot kosher meals and needed
medications for 240,000 elderly Jews in the
former Soviet Union.
Renewal of Jewish Life in the FSU and
Eastern Europe: Through allocations to
JAFI and JDC, Federation helps fund Jewish
summer and winter camp programs, Israel
experiences, and leadership development,
which not only engage children and young
adults in Jewish activities, but help train
them to be leaders of their Jewish
communities in the future.
New for 2012-2013 is a partnership with
the city of Lvov in the Ukraine. Initially,
the partnership will enable Federation to
have more impact by targeting its funds for
Jewish social services and educational
programs administered by the Federation
system and its partners. It is expected that
partnership will lead to the development of
relationships between individuals and
institutions in both communities.
Community Centers in Israel
For over twenty years, our Jewish
community has been directly involved in
enhancing the lives of people at the Neve
Yosef Community Center in Haifa and Dora
Community Center in Netanya. Federation
continues to build on strong ties developed
over the years with these disadvantaged
Israeli communities. With Federation help,
the centers have greatly expanded their
educational and vocational training programs
and continue to seek ways to strengthen
these communities, home to thousands of
Israeli veterans and new migrs from the
former Soviet Union and Ethiopia.
Other Overseas Programs
The Orthodox Nahar Deiah Hesder
Yeshiva runs many programs in Nahariya,
in which yeshiva staff, along with students
and their spouses, volunteer to run a
clothing store and food distribution center
for needy families, provide programs for
migrs from the FSU and Ethiopia, and
tutor disadvantaged children in a variety of
subjects.
Encounter programs, run by Gesher,
promote tolerance and plurality of Jewish
expression by bringing secular and
religious Israeli high school students
together to dialogue, challenge long held
misperceptions and prejudices, and
ultimately sow the seeds for a more
mutually respectful and unified Israeli
society and worldwide Jewish community.
In addition, Gesher runs programs that
increase Jewish identity among secular
Israeli children.
Special programs for immigrants
facilitate the integration of olim, particularly
Ethiopians into Israeli society, provide early
intervention for Ethiopian children to give
them a better chance to succeed in school
life in Israel and provide leadership
development. Federation supports specific
projects run by many different partners in
Israel, including the Ethiopian National
Project, JAFI and JDC. Additionally,
Federation funds SELAH, the Israel Crisis
Management Center, which provides a
support system for migrs stricken with
trauma or grief.
Programs for Youth-at-Risk funded by
Federation provide counseling, safe
environments, academic assistance and
leadership training to students from
dysfunctional or abusive families,
individuals with substance abuse problems,
young adults on parole, school drop-outs
and other types of youth-at-risk. Among
these programs are Bayit Ham (Warm
Home) for teenage girls, Nirim in the
Neighborhood, and Acharai, preparing
youth-at-risk for IDF service.
National and Statewide
Organizations
Jersey funds the following national agencies
through its participation in Jewish
Federation of North Americas Alliance.
(JFNA is the umbrella organization for 157
North American Federations.) These include
the Association of Jewish Family &
Childrens Agencies, the Hebrew Immigrant
Aid Society, the Jewish Telegraphic

information, identify unmet needs and
develop strategies for meeting those needs.
The Planning and Allocation Committee has
developed close partnerships with all
Federation beneficiary agencies in order to
better address their long-term challenges.

The Fair Lawn Jewish

warm, welcoming egalitarian
Conservative congregation with 500
member families. Spiritually uplifting,
educationally inspiring and socially
dynamic, the FLJC creates community

action to social experiences. Jewish
worship takes place every day of the
year at the FLJC, with Shabbat services
including a junior congregation. While
led by our vibrant and talented Cantor,
all of our services have lay participation.
Our egalitarian philosophy means that
women and men are equal partners in
our religious services; we also provide
alternate services on Shabbat morning
for those who seek a more traditional
approach. Daily morning and evening
minyanim provide camaraderie for all,
along with comfort for mourners. Our
monthly 747 morning Minyan for teens
has gained national recognition.
Education for all ages is a critical
component at the FLJC. The Rabbi offers
thought-provoking sermons and his
weekly classes on the Talmud and Torah
provide insights along with lively
discussion. He records a weekly podcast
commenting on the Torah portion each
week that is on our website and iTunes.

Committee plans holiday celebrations,
and family programs for our members

Howard and Joshua Herman Education
Center, begins in the first grade and
continues beyond bar/bat mitzvah with
parent education and special programs
an integral part of the curriculum. The
Religious School meets two days a week,
Sunday morning and Tuesday afternoon.
Our Teens and Jeans program brings our
teenagers into discussion groups with
our Rabbi and Cantor. The Center is also
known for its numerous book groups.
We have one of the finest early
childhood education programs in Bergen
County. Our professionally staffed
Shirley and Paul Pintel Nursery School
has operated for over thirty years. Our
pre-school programs are open to Jewish
families and interfaith families whether
or not they are Center members. During
the summer, children may join our Little
Sunshine Day Camp. Our auxiliary
organizations include Sisterhood and
Mens Progress Club, both of which
sponsor many fun and exciting programs
and cultural events. The Centers Social
Action Committee supports an ever-
growing list of projects that make a
critical difference in our community and
beyond, including visiting the home-
bound sick, food and clothing drives.
Our ESP, Emergency Food Packages
helps those receiving Meals on Wheels
during the winter months. Our Shofar
Corps brings teenagers to the homes of
elderly shut ins during the Fall holidays
so they can hear the sound of the Shofar.
Finally, the Fair Lawn Jewish Center
houses the Max E. and Anna Bornstein
Library, one of the finest Judaica libraries
in Bergen County.

As an actor, I have played many roles over my long career,
but perhaps the most important has been Tevye in Fiddler
on The Roof. I performed it more than 2,000 times. It has
meant so much to me to portray this symbol of the struggle
to keep the Jewish faith and its traditions alive.
I have a deep understanding and appreciation of this
struggle, and I believe that the Dignity Memorial
networks Jewish funeral providers understand this

struggle as well.
Many of them have been working for generations to
preserve Jewish traditions, often in the face of tremendous
change. They understand our needs, because they share
our history and experiences and our values.
Thats why I trusted my Dignity Memorial provider with
my own funeral planning, and why you, too, should trust
them with all of your traditional Jewish funeral needs.

Its All About
the Details
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
The most serious side effects seen in patients in clinical trials with VPRIV were
allergic reactions. Patients who have experienced allergic reactions to VPRIV or to
other enzyme replacement therapy should proceed with caution.
The most common side effects observed in clinical trials in patients treated
with VPRIV were infusion-related and included: headache, dizziness, low blood
pressure, high blood pressure, nausea, weakness/fatigue, and fever. Generally,
infusion-related reactions were mild and, in newly treated patients, occurred mostly
during the rst 6 months of treatment and tended to occur less frequently with time.
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA.
Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
Please see Brief Summary of the full Prescribing Information
on reverse side for additional Important Safety Information.

(velaglucerase alfa for injection) Rx Only

BRIEF SUMMARY: Consult the Full Prescribing Information for complete product information.
INDICATIONS AND USAGE
VPRIV is a hydrolytic lysosomal glucocerebroside-specic enzyme indicated for long-termenzyme
replacement therapy (ERT) for pediatric and adult patients with type 1 Gaucher disease.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
Therecommendeddoseis60Units/kgadministeredeveryother weekasa60-minuteintravenousinfusion.
Patients currently being treated with imiglucerase for type 1 Gaucher disease may be switched
to VPRIV. Patients previously treated on a stable dose of imiglucerase are recommended to begin
treatment with VPRIV at that same dose when they switch fromimiglucerase to VPRIV.
Dosage adjustments can be made based on achievement and maintenance of each patients
therapeutic goals. Clinical studies have evaluated doses ranging from 15 Units/kg to 60 Units/kg
every other week.
VPRIV should be administered under the supervision of a healthcare professional.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
None.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Hypersensitivity Reactions
Hypersensitivity reactions have beenreportedinpatients inclinical studies withVPRIV[see ADVERSE
REACTIONS]. As with any intravenous protein product, hypersensitivity reactions are possible,
therefore appropriate medical support should be readily available when VPRIV is administered. If
a severe reaction occurs, current medical standards for emergency treatment are to be followed.
Treatment with VPRIV should be approached with caution in patients who have exhibited symptoms
of hypersensitivity to the active ingredient or excipients in the drug product or to other enzyme
replacement therapy.
Infusion-related Reactions
Infusion-related reactions were the most commonly observed adverse reactions in patients treated
with VPRIV in clinical studies. The most commonly observed symptoms of infusion-related reactions
were: headache, dizziness, hypotension, hypertension, nausea, fatigue/asthenia, andpyrexia. Generally
the infusion-related reactions were mild and, in treatment-nave patients, onset occurred mostly
during the rst 6 months of treatment and tended to occur less frequently with time.
The management of infusion-related reactions should be based on the severity of the reaction, e.g.
slowing the infusion rate, treatment with medications such as antihistamines, antipyretics and/or
corticosteroids, and/or stopping and resuming treatment with increased infusion time.
Pre-treatment with antihistamines and/or corticosteroids may prevent subsequent reactions in
those cases where symptomatic treatment was required. Patients were not routinely pre-medicated
prior to infusion of VPRIV during clinical studies.
ADVERSE REACTIONS
Clinical Studies Experience
The data described belowreect exposure of 94 patients with type 1 Gaucher disease who received
VPRIV at doses ranging from15 Units/kg to 60 Units/kg every other week in 5 clinical studies. Fifty-
four (54) patients were nave to ERT and received VPRIV for 9 months and 40 patients switched
fromimiglucerase to VPRIV treatment and received VPRIV for 12 months [see CLINICAL STUDIES].
Patients were between 4 and 71 years old at time of rst treatment with VPRIV, and included 46
male and 48 female patients.
The most serious adverse reactions in patients treated with VPRIV were hypersensitivity reactions
[see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
The most commonly reported adverse reactions (occurring in 10% of patients) that were
considered related to VPRIV are shown in Table 2. The most common adverse reactions were
infusion-related reactions.
Because clinical trials are conductedunder widely varyingconditions, adverse reactionrates observed
in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another
drug and may not reect the rates observed in practice.
Table 2: Adverse Reactions Observed in 10% of Patients with Type 1 Gaucher Disease Treated
with VPRIV [Nave to ERT (N = 54), Switched from imiglucerase to VPRIV (N = 40)] Number of
Patients (%)Nervous systemdisorders: Headache 19 (35.2%), 12 (30%), Dizziness 12 (22.2%),
3 (7.5%); Gastrointestinal disorders: Abdominal pain 10 (18.5%), 6 (15%), Nausea 3 (5.6%), 4
(10%); Musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders: Back pain 9 (16.7%), 7 (17.5%), Joint
pain (knee) 8 (14.8%), 3 (7.5%); Infections and infestations: Upper respiratory tract infection 17
(31.5%), 12 (30%); Investigations: Activated partial thromboplastin time prolonged 6 (11.1%),
2 (5%); General disorders and administration site conditions: Infusion-related reaction* 28
(51.9%), 9 (22.5%), Pyrexia 12 (22.2%), 5 (12.5%), Asthenia/Fatigue 7 (13%), 5 (12.5%).
*Denotes any event considered related to and occurring within up to 24 hours of VPRIV infusion.
Less common adverse reactions affecting more than one patient (>3% in the treatment-nave
group and >2% in the patients switched from imiglucerase to VPRIV treatment) were bone pain,
tachycardia, rash, urticaria, ushing, hypertension, and hypotension.
Pediatric Patients
All adult adverse reactions to VPRIV are considered relevant to pediatric patients (ages 4 to 17
years). Adverse reactions more commonly seen in pediatric patients compared to adult patients
include (>10%difference): upper respiratory tract infection, rash, aPTT prolonged, and pyrexia.
Immunogenicity
As with all therapeutic proteins, there is a potential for immunogenicity. In clinical studies,
1 of 54 treatment-nave patients treated with VPRIV developed IgGclass antibodies to VPRIV. In this
patient, the antibodies were determined to be neutralizing in an in vitro assay. No infusion-related
reactions were reported for this patient. It is unknown if the presence of IgG antibodies to VPRIV is
associatedwithahigher risk of infusionreactions. Patients withanimmune response to other enzyme
replacement therapies who are switching to VPRIV should continue to be monitored for antibodies.
Immunogenicity assay results are highly dependent on the sensitivity and specicity of the assay.
Additionally, the observed incidence of antibody positivity in an assay may be inuenced by several
factors, including assay methodology, sample handling, timing of sample collection, concomitant
medications, and underlying disease. For these reasons, comparison of the incidence of antibodies
to VPRIV with the incidence of antibodies to other products may be misleading.
DRUG INTERACTIONS
No drug-drug interaction studies have been conducted.
USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
Pregnancy: Pregnancy Category B.
Reproduction studies with velaglucerase alfa have been performed in pregnant rats at intravenous
doses up to 17 mg/kg/day (102 mg/m
2
/day, about 1.8 times the recommended human dose of
60Units/kg/day or 1.5mg/kg/day or 55.5mg/m
2
/day basedonthe body surface area). Reproduction
studies have been performed in pregnant rabbits at intravenous doses up to 20 mg/kg/day
(240 mg/m
2
/day, about 4.3 times the recommended human dose of 60 Units/kg/day based on the
body surface area). These studies did not reveal any evidence of impaired fertility or harm to the
fetus due to velaglucerase alfa.
Apre- andpostnatal development study inrats showedno evidence of any adverse effect onpre- and
postnatal development at doses up to 17 mg/kg (102 mg/m
2
/day, about 1.8 times the recommended
human dose of 60 Units/kg/day based on the body surface area). There are, however, no adequate
and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Because animal reproduction studies are not
always predictive of human response, VPRIV should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed.
Nursing Mothers: There are no data fromstudies in lactating women. It is not known whether this
drug is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be
exercised when VPRIV is administered to a nursing woman.
Pediatric Use: The safety and effectiveness of VPRIV have been established in patients between
4 and 17 years of age. Use of VPRIV in this age group is supported by evidence fromadequate and
well-controlled studies of VPRIV in adults and pediatric [20 of 94 (21%)] patients. The safety and
efcacy proles were similar between pediatric and adult patients [see ADVERSE REACTIONS and
CLINICAL STUDIES]. The safety of VPRIV has not been established in pediatric patients younger
than 4 years of age.
Geriatric Use: During clinical studies 4 patients aged 65 or older were treated with VPRIV. Clinical
studies of VPRIVdidnot include sufcient numbers of subjects aged65andover to determine whether
they respond differently fromyounger subjects. Other reported clinical experience has not identied
differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients. In general, dose selection for
an elderly patient should be approached cautiously, considering potential comorbid conditions.
OVERDOSAGE
There is no experience with overdose of VPRIV.

concerned with the whole child and
stretch the curiosity of the student body
so that our children grow intellectually,
socially, and emotionally. Computer
technology, multimedia programs,
informal educational activities, cultural
experiences and field trips all enhance
the Yavneh philosophy. Our educational
program is achieved through small
student-teacher ratios and the
involvement of parents at each step in
the process. We measure our success by
the thousands of Yavneh graduates who
are equipped with a strong background
of academic skills, middot, a love of
learning, and readiness to meet the
challenges of adolescence and beyond.

students in the study and practice of
Torah, prayers and blessings, holidays,
ritual and interpersonal mitzvot, Tikkun
Olam/Social Action, Israel, and
prayerbook Hebrew.

The JCC Therapeutic Nursery is a
unique, nationally recognized program
for preschool children with special needs
and their parents. It is a developmental,
language-based treatment center that
addresses not only the cognitive,
linguistic, behavioral, social and
emotional needs of the children, but also
the needs of the parents. Parents,
through daily participation in the
Nursery, become collaborating partners
in their childs treatment. The children
accepted into the program have at least
average intelligence, and many are
extremely bright, despite their
developmental delays or difficult
behaviors. We serve children ages 2 to 5
years old who have language disorders,
emotional problems (including selective
mutism), learning disabilities, attention
deficits or autistic behaviors (including
PDD or Aspergers Syndrome). Our
enriched curriculum consistently
stimulates the childrens intelligence and
curiosity, while advancing their academic
skills. We also focus the development of
communicative language, self-help skills,
emotional growth, socialization and play,
sensory motor skills and behavioral
management. Central to our curriculum
is a rigorous social skills program. The
staff is comprised of a multidisciplinary
team, and we provide individual and
small group language, occupational and
play therapy as needed. We also provide
individual parent counseling and a
weekly parent group. The Therapeutic
Nursery is a non-sectarian licensed
private special education preschool and
many school districts send their students
here. Our Nursery provides a half-day
program, five days a week and includes
a summer session. Most of our children
attend mainstream classes during the
other half of the day, with a shadow if
needed. For more information please

The Jewish National Fund (JNF) was
established in 1901 to raise money that
was necessary to build the foundations
of a Jewish state. Over the past century,
the JNF has evolved from its humble
beginnings of collecting coins in
tzedakah boxes to an organization that is
a global environmental leader. Among its
many contributions, the JNF has
educated students around the world
about Israel, created new communities
for Jews to call home, and constructed
security roads to make Israel safer. The
JNF has made Israel a better place to live
and visit by planting 240 million trees
and building over 1,000 parks and
recreational areas. The JNF pioneered
drip irrigation and new means of
growing plants under arid conditions,
making the deserts of Israel bloom. By
building over 190 reservoirs and water
recycling centers, the JNF has increased
Israels water supply by 10 percent.
The JNF continues to be a leader in
supporting Israels newest generation of
pioneers by developing the Negev
Desert, Israels last frontier, and is taking
strides toward restoring northern Israel,
making it a place that Israelis can once
again call home. As a United Nations
NGO, JNF sponsors international
conferences on desertification, shares
afforestation techniques, and funds
research on arid land management.
