Jennie and Paul Elias.
Alex will be an 8th grader at Whitefish Bay Middle School in the fall. Alex enjoys playing base-

cousins at his family’s cottage on Cedar Lake. For his mitzvah project, Alex has chosen to collect gently
used soccer shoes, equipment and cash donations for underprivileged children in Jamaica.
Alex’s maternal grandmother, Lucia Schaub, will be greatly missed at this wonderful family
celebration. She loved Alex very much and took great pride in his many accomplishments.
Alex and his parents would like to thank Rabbi Cohen, Cantor Robins and Linda Ross for their
support and guidance.

What’s Greening at Sinai?
Shipping is a terrible thing to do to vegetables. They probably get jet-lagged, just like people.

Here is some food for thought as we bask in the months. To find one near you, go to http://
warm summer months in Milwaukee – eat locally grown www.jsonline.com/features/food/43343697.html. Also,

here in Milwaukee, as farmers markets and community ported Agriculture) farm. There are 14 Milwaukee-area CSA
farms surround us. Locally grown food travels a shorter farms. Most take share reservations for the next growing
distance, so it reaches your kitchen as a much fresher season, which runs June through early November, in the

twice as much income for the local economy? When Deb Schermer
businesses are not owned locally, money leaves the com- Greening of Sinai

alive keeps rural landscape alive, supporting less sprawl.
Consider the ―dirty dozen.‖ According to the Envi-
ronmental Working Group (EWG), consumers can reduce
their pesticide exposure by 80% by avoiding the most
contaminated fruits and vegetables, which are: spinach,
potatoes, celery, bell peppers, strawberries, raspberries,
pears, peaches, nectarines, grapes, cherries, and apples.
The EWG has written a Shoppers Guide that includes this
list as well as the ―Clean 15,‖ a list of conventionally
grown produce items that have the lightest pesticide
load. The Shopper’s Guide can be downloaded free at
www.foodnews.org. It is also available as an iPhone ap-
plication.
There are nearly 20 farmers markets in Milwau-
