Change Your World View, and The World Changes With You! | TheWritersCafe.org: "I believe that I am a relatively rare combination of being; a dreamer, a schemer, a lover of life. I entertain and cajole and truly believe what I say.
The other thing is that my particular skill set is in great demand at the moment. I am able to write cogently, have a sense of design, can develop websites from scratch using various methods."

How to Get Your Teen Out of Bed for School

How to Get Your Teen Out of Bed for School: "It is his obligation to make sure he gets to school on time and it is up to him to face the consequences when he is late for school. He is the one that will get a detention, he is the one that will get expelled, he is the one that will miss classes, and he is the one that has to spend his time catching up."

Today in the Frum World: "The idea behind these melaveh-malka programs is that married friends, alone and together with their spouses, can be great social resources for singles, and part of thinking 'outside of the box' involves developing more friendships with married people of one's own gender. We know that for some people, it is easier said than done. In some singles enclaves of New York City,"

Passaic Dating

Passaic Dating: "Shidduch dating can be very awkward « Frum Satire: The Rantings of A Frum Yid With A Warped Perspective: "Awkward Shidduch moments:
Initial Phone Call: In the yeshivish world the phone call lasts about 10 minutes and is a courtesy and logistics call. In my world the phone call can last up to 3 hours and can seem like a date. The problem with long phone calls, is that you build up this picture in your head and the long phone calls are always with girls who you end up being very unattractive."

Teaneck Parents Eyeing Public (School) Option | The Jewish Week

Teaneck Parents Eyeing Public (School) Option | The Jewish Week: "Groups like the Orthodox Union, Yeshiva University’s Institute for University-School Partnership, Jewish Education for Future Generations (JEFG) and its Northern New Jersey Kehillot Investing in Day Schools (NNJKIDS) project are talking about the “tuition crisis” and moving forward with various projects, such as a community-wide scholarship fund and a “benchmarking” project to reduce school operating costs.
But for some parents, these efforts are too little too late.
“There’s so much soreness around the topic of rising tuition costs, it comes up at almost every Shabbos meal we sit at,” said “Melissa Rosen.” “It really is starting to consume everyone and become this sore subject, and it’s sad. People are getting so hostile against these schools, and it’s not good for the kids.”"

Jewish Thought of the Day

Jewish Thought of the Day: "He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it, and sometimes they’ll dump it on you. Don’t take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don’t take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets."

Working chronologically, I began with the Orthodox. About two thousand years before the Reform and Conservative movements arrived on the scene, Orthodox sages recorded the claim that the oral tradition was received from G-d at Sinai in 1312 B.C.E. and passed down intact to the sages of the Mishna.[1]Later talmudic texts affirm belief in a G-d-given oral tradition [2], as do the writings of medieval and post-medieval Orthodox scholars.[3] "

Snow Tubing Sat night Jan 24 2009 @ Campgaw!

JOC SNOWTUBING PARTY!


Theninth annual JOC snowtubing party will take place on Saturday night,Jan 24th at Ski Campgaw, only 35 minutes from the GW bridge.
Woo Hoo!

For this years trip, we are switching back toCampgaw, where there is a nice warm lodge right next to the tubinglanes. That way, if we go on the coldest night of the year, like we didlast year, we wont lose any fingers :)

This is always one of JOCs biggest and most fun events of the year. Whether you
are new and have been lurking on the list for a long time, or have been a
regular for a while, dont miss out on this fun event!


SCHEDULE

After Shabbat: Carpools depart from NYC and other locations
7:30-8:00: Arrive at Ski Campgaw, receive snowtubing ticket.
8:00-9:55: Enjoy snowtubing!
9:55- 10:00: The annual JOC tradition of clothing optional snowtubing. Yeah, baby!!
10:30: We get kicked out.

Throughout the night, we will be ableto relax in their lodge which is right next to the tubing run, wherethere will be a light dinner (pita, spreads, veges, fruits etc...). All food, is, of course, strictly Kosher.


PRICE
Recession special! The price of the event is $29 which includes a 2 hour snowtubing session and light dinner.

TRANSPORTATION
We will be getting there via carpool.A week prior, we will send out a spreadsheet of drivers, and you willbe responsible to make arrangement to get to Campgaw.
If there is demand, we will rent a busthat would leave from the Upper West Side, but a heads up that suchrides are expensive ($30 a person?)


WHAT IS THE TUBING LIKE?
The tubing largely depends on weather conditions. Sometimes the course
is fast and icy, other times it is more slushy (which makes for great
snowball conditions). In past years, it has been quite an adrenaline rush, but there are no guarantees.
Either way, youll have a great time!

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
Expect cold weather, my friends! Layer up with a shirt (synthetic is best), a sweater (fleece) and a warm jacket. Ifyou have ski pants, thats your best bet for your lowerhalf. Non-cotton socks are best for your feet, and dont forget gloves,and a warm hat. A neck gaiter is a nice plus. Skirts are doable.

If you have reason tobelieve that I, or other mischievous folk, will be tripping you frombehind with tubes, then wear butt pads :)

IS THIS FOR SINGLES ONLY?
No! JOC is an outdoors club open to all, although, a vast majority of
attendees will be single.

WHAT IS THE DEADLINE?
Spaceis allotted on a first come, first served basis. There are 125 spotsavailable, and I expect that we will fill up. As we have purchasedevery available ticket for that session, there is no possibility forlast minute add-ons once we are full.


HOW DO I SIGN UP?

1) Please go to www.jocsnowtubing.eventbrite.com and fill out the form.

AND

2) Paypal the amount ($29) to

jewishoutdoorsclub@yahoo.com

I can only sign you up once I have received payment -registration alone is not sufficient.

Also, please note that this cost does not include paying drivers. The amount that JOC recommends is $10 a person.


CANCELLATION POLICY?
Cancellations will be accepted up till January 15th for a full refund. After that, I cannot offer a refund,
but you can find someone else to take your place and deal with the
reimbursement on your own with that person.


BAD WEATHER?
Please note that in the event of inclement weather, the trip is postponed to
a future date to be decided. Please check emails if it seems like a possibility.


Happy New Year to all, and looking forward to seeing you on the slopes!

GOP group behind negative Obama poll - Ben Smith - Politico.com

GOP group behind negative Obama poll - Ben Smith - Politico.com: "Some Jewish Democrats who received the poll – including a New Republic writer who lives in Michigan – were outraged by the poll, describing it in interviews as 'ugly' and disturbing. A group that supports Obama, the Jewish Council for Education and Research even staged a protest outside the Manhattan call center from which the calls originated Tuesday.

'If the RJC is responsible for these calls, which are designed to frighten Jews and sow mistrust, they have forfeited their place at the Jewish table,' said the co-executive director of the group, Mik Moore. 'It is incumbent upon the McCain campaign to speak out forcefully against this and ongoing efforts by his supporters to scare Jews into supporting his candidacy.'"

The Yeshiva World » Out Of The Mailbag: (NO Shidduch Crisis!) » Frum Jewish News

The Yeshiva World » Out Of The Mailbag: (NO Shidduch Crisis!) » Frum Jewish News: "The letter writer is a bit misinformed. The shidduch crisis people talk about involves singles much older — in their 30s and beyond. I fully agree that kids are getting married too young; they never experience being an independent adult, explore different things they may want to do before marrying and starting a family. But there does come a time when a manor woman is experiencing difficulty finding a match, and when you see how many older singles there are — that may be a true crisis.

We know that for some people, it is easier said than done. In some singles enclaves of New York City, for example, married couples are hard to find. In other neighborhoods, singles and married may live close by but may not socialize too often because it is easier for them to identify with those who are at their own stage in life. That's a mistake all of us can ill afford to make.

One way to increase married/single socialization is by becoming involved in a local synagogue that has a number of married couples in your age range, rather than a synagogue that p"
