Posted in: Op-Ed: Let's engage with young Jews at federation
09/30/09 04:58 PM
It would be nice if there were something Jewish that didn't involve giving money. My synagogue has come under the rule of the penny-pinchers and no one is allowed to do anything anymore if they aren't current on their dues, which is sick. The Federation wants money. Everybody wants money! I'm just about fed up. With our economy in its current state, there are a lot of average 30-something Jews who have no hope of being loaded like the older folks at my synagogue all seem to be. If we make them feel like all they are good for is money, they'll drift away and never come back. I know because I'm feeling that way.

Alice Walker's life formed her worldview, and unfortunately it's an unchanging, overly simple one. In her worldview there is the oppressed and the oppressor, the good guy and the bad guy. The real world is rarely so cut and dried. Sadly, she seems to only let her worldview be affirmed by all her travels and experiences, rather than leaving herself open to learn something that might actually change her view of the world.

The YMCA doesn't open on Sunday. Can't we at least be as Sabbath observant as the Christians, even if they do observe it on the wrong day?
Posted in: IDF: No Israeli soldier found to be kidnapped

Is the tactic to kidnap the entire Israeli army, one soldier at a time, until Israel is defenseless? Seriously, why aren't these soldiers taught some kidnap-resistance self-defense? The buddy system, maybe? Not that it's their fault, but I dont' want anyone else to be in Gilad's shoes since Israel can't get him home for some reason.
