Online Survey
About The Future of Jewish Learning in Boulder
Dare to Dream, a community-wide
project focusing on the future of Jewish learners in Boulder, has
posted an online
survey. Dare to Dream is an initiative of 18 Pomegranates, a
private, non-profit foundation based in Boulder, CO. Dare to Dream was
initiated to help meet the needs of 21st century
learners and promote relevant, life-centered interactive Jewish
education for people of all ages. Dare to Dream will be seeking to
implement one or more innovative projects in 2009. This is your
opportunity to make your voice heard about the future of Jewish
learning in Boulder!
Just simply go to the link and answer the online questions. It
should take no more than 5 minutes. Please take the online survey by
November 14, 2008. Thank you for helping us Dare to Dream!

The
President turned to one of his advisors,
who happened to be Jewish, and asked, "How come Jews
are always so well informed?"
Advisor: "What do you mean
sir?"
The President: "It just seems that Jews
are always up on the latest news. How do they do it?"
Advisor: "An interesting observation.
It could be because when Jews go to the synagogue to daven (pray), they
always
turn to the person sitting next to them and say "Nu?" (What's up?).
The President: "What? Is
it that simple?"
Advisor: "I think so sir."
President: "Well, let's put it to the
test. Take me to the nearest Synagogue."
The two board a limousine and are driven
to the nearest Synagogue. Once inside, the President sits down among
the congregation
next to an elderly Jewish man. He looks around, then turns to the man
and says
softly, "Nu?"
The elderly man leans toward him and
replies, "You know, I hear the President is going to daven with
us today."
