Beaches closed to cars <\/p>\n
St. Johns Countys beaches are expected to be closed to driving until at least Friday morning because of unusually high tides and surf. <\/p>\n
Beaches are still open to pedestrians, said county Beach Manager Billy Zeits. <\/p>\n
Onshore winds from the northeast have contributed to the conditions, including tides over 6 feet high. <\/p>\n
When you combine the surf winds and tide, it doesnt leave us a whole lot of beach, he said. <\/p>\n
Medical ethics course <\/p>\n
A six-week seminar called Life in the Balance: Jewish Perspectives on Everyday Medical Dilemmas will be presented by the Rohr Jewish Learning Institute at 7 p.m. Wednesday beginning Oct. 30 at the Aaron and Blanche Scharf Chabad Center, 521 Florida A1A N. in Ponte Vedra Beach. <\/p>\n
Rabbi Nochum Kurinsky will conduct the six course sessions, designed to acquaint the public with Jewish perspectives on dilemmas in medical ethics. Topics ranging from end-of-life issues to preventive measures and respect due to the body after death will be presented, designed for people at all levels of Jewish knowledge. <\/p>\n
The course at Chabad at the Beaches is accredited to offer credits for medical professionals, attorneys in most states and dentists. The course is $85 per person and open to the public. <\/p>\n
