Well written and conceived. I would welcome your friendship. Richard"
Erica Korman commented on Peter Eckstein's blog post Tomorrow! Tomorrow! I Love Ya Tomorrow!"While change is needed to improve long-term Jewish involvement, I don't want to see us as educators "sell out" and teach something that has no resemblance to the tradition for the sake of participation levels. Perhaps this…"

I have the good fortune to be working with a nationally based group of educators and teens associated with the iCenter’s MZ Teen Israel Internship.

Peter Eckstein posted a blog postThe Big Bang - Adventures in Cyberspace
The universe is expanding. That’s the core of the Big Bang Theory. As the cosmos gets older, everything in it moves apart. Not to delve too much into such esoterica like Hubbles Law, I need to affirm - אני מאמין - I'm a believer. In the last week I experienced something akin to this phenomenon in my own universe. Let’s call it the Virtual Big Bang. Last Wednesday I participated in the first #jedchat., organized by Dov Emerson,…See More

Peter Eckstein posted a blog postSteve Jobs, the Consumer and Inventing the Jewish Future
Of all the recent retrospectives of the late Steve Jobs, the one that has had the most impact on me contained the observation that he “hated traditional market research”. It was a comment made by one of the guests (advertising consultant, Cindy Gallup) on the public radio show “The Take Away” on Friday, October 7. You could hear the entire recording here. Mr. Jobs believed that successful marketing and production must be customer centered, but that consumers don’t really know what they want. He…See More

I had a conversation with a Rabbi recently. He was upset because a cantorial colleague of his had decided to strike out on her own, performing “destination B’nai Mitzvah”, divorcing herself from synagogue life, and setting up private Hebrew schools in community club-houses. He fretted that this is antithetical to the idea of community and affiliation. He felt that to be a true part of the Jewish community, one needed to belong to a synagogue. He continued, pointing out that he knows that times… Continue
