The Beth Tfiloh Professional Network serves the BT synagogue and school community by providing a forum for networking, professional resources, and sharing connections both online through a LinkedIn group, and at periodic meetings.

We welcome members of the Beth Tfiloh synagogue and school to become involved in this effort to connect the many outstanding professionals in the Beth Tfiloh community and enable them to inspire and mentor others with the details of their professional journeys. A group recently met with Rabbi Chai Posner, chaired by Neil Sweren and Dan Kaplan, to plan upcoming networking meetings, and to reach out to all arms of the Beth Tfiloh community, includ-

ing the school and alumni, to provide a meaningful frame-work for business networking with a Jewish lens. Look for news of upcoming meetings this Spring.

As part of this effort, All Beth Tfiloh members, school parents, alumni and faculty members, are invited to join the Beth Tfiloh Professional Network on LinkedIn. To join this growing online group, go to www.linkedin.com, search for “Beth Tfiloh Professional Network” and click “Join.”

For more information, contact Joan Feldman, Director of Communications, at 410-413-2312 or [email protected].

Role Models: Seniors & Middle Schoolers Discuss the Challenges of Adolescence

A group of senior girls from Mrs. Schorr’s davening group partnered with the 7th and 8th grade girls to participate in a lunchtime mentorship program. In small groups, the girls spoke candidly about contemporary adolescent issues, such as cyberbullying, gossip, identity, and cliques.

High School faculty members including Mrs. Jean Ginsberg, the Director of Guidance in the College Guidance Department, also attended the session and explained that the program aimed to prepare the Middle Schoolers for their upcoming High School transition.

“Middle school is a time when you struggle to figure out who you are,” explained Jen R. ’14 to the room. “But in high school, you have so much more independence and you start to develop into someone different than you were in middle school.”

At the end of the hour, almost every Middle School girl agreed that they gained new insights and perspectives from the session, and hoped to meet with the senior girls again in the near future.

Finding A Cure for Cancer: My Internship at Hopkins Cancer Research Lab

By Dori C. ‘14This past summer I

interned in the Brem Brain Cancer Research Lab at Johns Hop-kins. An abstract of the research I helped conduct was recently accepted for publica-tion by the American Association of Neu-rological Surgeons. Under the tutelage of Betty Tyler, Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery, and resident, Antonella Mangravaviti, I learned about 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2DG), a synthetic glucose analog that inhibits glycolysis and causes ATP depletion, cell cycle inhibi-tion, and eventually, cell death.

We tested 2DG to see its possible application for the treatment of gliobas-toma (brain tumors that are highly ma-lignant). This study showed that 2DG might be a promising treatment strategy against malignant gliomas (tumors that directly arise from the central nervous system, brain or spinal cord, tissue). We suggested administering 2DG at higher dosages or in combination with other

cytotoxic agents to obtain a beneficial antitumor effect when using certain chemo-resistant glioma models.

I obtained this internship with the help of Mr. Burgess, Chair of the Beth Tfiloh Science Depart-ment, who put me in contact with Betty Tyler. Although my primary job was to administer drugs and debrain rats, I also learned about the different drugs administered and the statistics behind the study, and gained new insights and invaluable expe-

rience in the field.This past summer was an opportunity

of a lifetime and I encourage other Beth Tfiloh students to take advantage of our High School’s science mentorship program.

High School students sampling the nine Cholent Cook-Off entries. The winning cholent recipes belonged to Morah Sara Lanner (1st place), Mr. Steve Goloskov ‘91 (2nd place) and Rabbi Elliot Kaplowitz.

Fourth graders made grisly goop in Mrs. Corton's science class and explored the changes to the physical properties of the ingredients.
