Mistakes and Second Chances
I would like to share a story with you. A few years ago, I worked with a job seeker who made a serious error in judgment. He had worked successfully in the financial markets until trying to manipulate the market using illegal tactics. As a result, he was banned permanently from his profession and was [...]

FreeTheSoldier - Gone Viral
A few days ago, I noticed a posting by a friend on Facebook about a free download for the United Jewish Communities (UJC): FreeTheSoldiers. Just as in years past, prayers and thoughts to remember the Israeli soldiers captured are being passed around this Passover. These messages come to remind us all that not [...]

Jewneric Comes to a City Near You Soon. Will You Be There?
For a little while now, we, the Jewneric Partners, have been considering throwing a party. Well, actually, it would be a series of parties. Well, actually, it would be a series of phat networking events (I’m bringing back the word “phat”). Well, actually, it would be a [...]

Crunching the Jewish Art Numbers
For those of you who haven’t stumbled across the great toy in Google Trends, I highly recommend it. I’ve crunched the numbers below to try to illustrate where Jewish art stands. GT allows you to search up to 5 items, and “see how often they’ve been searched on Google over time.” In the graph [...]

Statistically Speaking…
Today I met a fascinating man. Well, that’s deceptive. He’s rather nondescript. His job sounds, and probably is, rather boring. He works with numbers, though not financially. He analyzes data, though nothing classified or secret.
He is Yeshiva University’s in-house statistician.
His job is to analyze data in using advanced statistical tools (I’ve been in a [...]

School Closure Will Rob Many Children of Golden Opportunity
I was recently shocked to hear that the Toronto Jewish community turned its back on a vitally integral organization. In sheer ignorance, the so-called leaders of the Jewish community have decided that She’arim Hebrew Day School is no longer needed. One can only conclude that the 70 children needing the most educational help [...]

What used to be one of the most violent schools in the tri-state area had been quickly transformed into an A+ school by the determined principal, Shimon Waronker, a Lubavitcher Chassid. Citing Hashem, the students and parents as key to the process, Waronker has played a key role is retaking the school. Speaking [...]

He Who Attacks My Friends Attacks Me
Across the street from a federal and district court, no real security, out on the end of an island, Jewish institution. All of these four elements combined make my law school a perfect target for terrorism.
It is not something that is completely out of the question for us. We are aware, the courts [...]

Simple Goodness
Several years ago, a collection of Jews from Chicago got together to deal with hatred run amok. They formed two groups which they ironically named “One Groups.” The purpose of these groups was to help its members develop doable, individual projects that would heal rifts and build bridges.
The first meetings were charged with energy. [...]
