A Bruegger’s Bagels shop opened recently at 2146 N. Federal Highway and owner Avi Stern said the restaurant differs form traditional bagel joints on a number of levels.

“We boil our bagels before baking in true New York fashion, and I believe we are the only place around here that does that,” Stern said.

Bruegger’s features specialty cream cheeses, signature soups, wraps, a self-serve salad bar and a wide array of coffees, he said.

“There are close to 280 (Bruegger’s) locations across the country, and there are plans to open more in South Florida, but we are the first,” Stern said.

Bruegger’s also offers free Wi-Fi Internet access. For information call 561-391-7993.

Twelve students from Pope John Paul II High School returned recently from a week-long mission trip with the Catholic Heart Workcamp. The group traveled to Charleston, S.C. and was involved in several community improvement projects.

“We had a group help with habitat improvement projects, another worked at a children’s’ day camp for migrant families and some students worked at a senior citizen’s facility,” said campus minister and community service Director Diane DeMarco.

The Orlando-based Catholic Heart Workcamp arranges mission trips designed to inspire teens to become active in their local communities.

“Everything was so well organized and ran very smoothly," DeMarco said. "The students worked hard with no complaint, and everyone involved benefited tremendously."

Boca Raton resident Cindy Orbach Nimhauser recently was named head of the United Jewish Community’s National Young Leadership Department and a Cabinet co-chairwoman.

Nimhauser shares the chairman position with Las Vegas spine surgeon Hugh Bassewitz. She will provide the overall vision for the UJC’s young leadership cabinet and department. “This is a great opportunity and I am truly honored. It is critical that young people take leadership roles in the Jewish community and make it a priority to help those less fortunate,” she said.

Nimhauser recently returned from an Arizona retreat where 245 people raised $2.2 million for the cause. Nimhauser is no stranger to leadership roles within the Jewish community, having served the national young leadership department as membership vice chairwoman and co-chairwoman of the cabinet study mission.
