The important issues in people's lives shift as responsibilities and roles evolve from parent to child and child to parent. As parents, there is pressure to make sure children have the best education and other opportunities to help them grow into well-rounded adults. As children of aging parents, there is pressure to make sure mom and dad have the best healthcare, financial comfort and quality of life. Effective methods to deal with these issues are explored in DIRECTIONS, The Annual Guide to Jewish Life, published by The Jewish Week. DIRECTIONS will be mailed to all subscribers of the Jewish Week. Plus, regionally-focused bonus issues will be distributed to Jewish organizations and synagogues throughout Manhattan, the Boroughs, Long Island and Westchester.
