Random Goodness
The quickest route to being a good guy.
by Rabbi Leiby Burnham

People do strange things in the name of quainthood -- tea and scones, cobblestone driveways, and adding the words "Ye Olde" to anything. There's a village near my house that even has a dirt and stone road in the name of quainthood. There's enough tax money to tar the road, but it's left that way either for the horse and buggy traffic, or to preserve the quainthood. (full article)

Wedding Outreach

Now that we are in wedding season, here are some ways to reach out at wedding.

1. Look around for people who are not religious as soon as you arrive. Go over to them and introduce yourself. Ask them how they know the chassan and kallah, where they are from. This easily lends itself to getting into a friendly conversation.

2. During the chupah, you can explain what the various aspect of the service mean. This can be very profound and touching. Go to http://www.aish.com/jl/l/48969841.html to read up on some great explanations to help you along and/or send this downloadable pdf http://image.aish.com/A-Guide-to-the-Jewish-Wedding.pdf

3. During the seudah, look to see if you can sit on the same table, or else go over at some point during the meal to see how they are doing. Focus on developing the relationship so that you can stay in touch afterwards.

4. On such occasions it is easy to talk about:
(i) Jewish topics - what Jewish involvement they have, when they go to shul, Pesach Seder etc
(ii) Pick up on any aspects of the chupah that you might want to elaborate on
(iii) Discuss Jewish concepts of marriage or definition of love

These can be helpful to read for discussion:

Love: Friendship, Love and Unity

Marriage: The Cure for Marriage Blues

5. When the dancing gets going – make sure they’re not still sitting at their table. Pull them into the dancing, or minimally that they get to see what’s going on.
 
6. Make sure to get their details at the end and stay in touch! Tell them how much you’ve enjoyed meeting them and give them your details. Then get theirs.

May we all share many simchas together!

Judaism In A Nutshell
by Rabbi Ari Kahn

Is it really possible for God to have been the designer of this crazy upside-down world we live in? Well the truth is He's not. His intention was for us to live in The Garden of Eden, but it was man who dragged the world down to its current pitiful state. Rabbi Kahn traces the steps of mankind's decline from Adam and Eve until the times of Noah and Abraham, and explains what our potential is to put ourselves and the entire world back on its feet.
