Corrections

Due to a typographical error in the June 28 Jewish Bulletin, a story mistakenly identified Art for Recovery director Cindy Perlis as a woman living with breast cancer. She does not have the disease.

The story also incorrectly designated the Breast Cancer Quilt, which is a project of the UCSF/Mount Zion Art for Recovery Program.

Also in the June 28 edition, an obituary for Joseph Karesh should have said San Jose's Congregation Bikkur Cholim was renamed Temple Emanu-El in 1948.

The Bulletin regrets the errors.
