Haiti girl saved by rare heart operation
Rare life-saving heart operation saves Haiti girl Doctors at the Chaim Sheba Medical Center (eng.sheba.co.il) near Tel Aviv have performed a rare and complicated life-saving open-heart operation on a 12-year-old Haitian girl. The doctors discovered Amy Mariolata when she came to a primary care clinic outside Port au Prince opened by Israeli medics in the wake of Haiti’s devastating earthquake in January 2010. She was suffering from rheumatic heart disease, a condition affecting the heart valves, and had a life expectancy of just two years. The doctors brought her to Israel and carried out an eight-hour surgery, which is likely to extend her life by at least 20-30 years. The $30000 operation and transportation costs were covered by Sheba.

With the release of Galeet Dardashti’s album “The Naming,” we can officially say we are in the year of the female Jewish voice. Following the exhilarating Mycale project (who opened for Dardashti this week at the intimate Le Poisson Rouge in New York) and Charming Hostess’s new album, Dardashti contributes seven tracks of impressive vocal dexterity and only slightly less compelling lyrical material. The album also finds her working solo, instead of with her regular gig: the Middle East global-fusion band Divahn.
