My Black Friday blogger wishlist (if you truly love me…)

Well, I’m Canadian, so we don’t HAVE Black Friday.  But here are some little FREE gifts you could give me, or rather my blog, for no reason at all besides sheer adoration.  In no particular order:

  • Follow me on Twitter.
  • Click Google’s Follow Me link on the right-hand side of the main page (I’m putting in a link in case you’re reading this in a blog reader)
  • Read and Follow my husband’s parsha cartoon, just because it’s cool.
  • Rate and Like my posts at JBlog Central
  • Like my blog on faceshuk / JewPI (why the heck not…?)
  • Finally, every post now has a Share button below it… if you read something worthwhile, pass it along!

Oh, yes; there is one more thing:  LEAVE COMMENTS!  Google says almost 600 of you visited my blog yesterday, some for quite some time.  I think fewer than five people left comments (though some left more than one; thanks!!!).

Comments

  1. I hear you on the lack of comments... it's so much easier to just think them. I need to remind myself that you don't know what I think of your blog if I don't tell you.

  2. There are a lot of times when I read and don't comment. Sometimes it's just laziness, or because I'm quickly trying to peruse new posts but not stay on the computer long. Sometimes it's just commentor's block :-)

What do we tell our kids about Chabad and “Yechi”?

If I start by saying I really like Chabad, and adore the late Lubavitcher Rebbe, z"l, well... maybe you already know where I'm headed. Naomi Rivka has been asking lately what I think about Chabad.  She asks, in part, because she already knows how I feel.  She already knows I’m bothered, though to her, it’s mostly about “liking” and “not liking.”  I wish things were that simple. Our little neighbourhood in Israel has a significant Chabad presence, and Chabad conducts fairly significant outreach within the community.  Which sounds nice until you realize that this is a religious neighbourhood, closed on Shabbos, where some huge percentage of people are shomer mitzvos.  Sure, it’s mostly religious Zionist, and there are a range of observances, for sure, but we’re pretty much all religious here in some way or another. So at that point, this isn’t outreach but inreach .  Convincing people who are religious to be… what? A lot of Chabad’s efforts here are focused on kids, including a
