Attending live performances--both music and theater (like the combo you get at Out by 10: Stories & Music in NYC) --can reduce stress, make you feel better, and even make you feel so peacefully connected to those around you that your heart syncs up with theirs, according to two scientific studies. The first study from Hokkaido Univ in Japan, shows that if you attend a live musical performance, you will reduce stress more than listening to the same music through a recording.

Raider of the Lost Arks

By Susan Seliger
| Washingtonian Verified
Seated across from me in a noisy kosher restaurant in Wheaton is Rabbi Menachem Youlus, a man who goes around the world, like Indiana Jones, digging up Torahs that have been lost or stolen. Just before the 9/11 attacks on America, he rescued from a mass grave in the Ukraine the Torah that my small congregation now possesses. He has been beaten up, thrown in jail, and gone $175,000 in debt to bring these holy scrolls out of less-than-friendly places back to safety and a new life.

Interview

What was your first job as a journalist?

I was a writer on a newsletter in London which I turned into a consumer magazine, renamed Survival Kit, and doubled the circulation.

What does it mean to be a journalist?

To weave stories that delight and enlighten.

Why did you become a journalist?

I'm naturally curious and journalism seemed the only way I could go around asking nosy questions without getting into trouble.

Awards

Clarion Award

1980 - Magazine Series; Division: Human Rights

I received the Clarion Award for a series of four articles along with the results of a detailed poll of over 300 professional women in Washington that were presented as a magazine within a magazine. I researched and wrote all the articles and supervised the creation and computer analysis of the poll. The Clarion Awards, presented annually by The Association for Women in Communications, is a renowned competition open to all communicators. The awards annually recognize excellence in communications fields. Highly sought after by both women and men, the Clarions—named for the medieval trumpet known for its clarity—symbolize excellence in clear, concise communications. Clarion recipients represent media companies large and small, leading corporations, small businesses, and nonprofit associations and institutions.
