Of Mice and Media

November 24, 2008 · Filed Under Baum's Blog 

So I’ve been totally remiss and haven’t blogged lately. I promise to do better. Perhaps that will be my Thanksgiving resolution (it’s either too late for a Rosh Hashanah resolution or too early for a 2009 resolution!).

It was a busy weekend at Beth Adam. We had our first interfaith Thanksgiving service with a local church. The service was written entirely by sixth, seventh, and eighth graders and was remarkably beautiful.

On Sunday morning, we had 4th and 5th grade family education day and discussed Jewish time. It was such a hit that we had a special guest appearance by a four legged creature. Yes, my family ed days are so popular that a mouse stopped by. Ugh.

Among other things, we played a game (look for that to be posted here on the site soon), and we made candles out of granulated wax. That stuff is way cool. We also did an edible art project as usual – so stay tuned in the coming weeks for the launch of my edible Jewish art project cooking show which will debut on OurJewishCommunity.org. Oh yeah, we also bought a new video camera this weekend – so more videostreaming, here we come!

Last night I attended the Hebrew Union College Tribute Dinner… it wasn’t exactly wildly entertaining, but it was good enough. And I was so inspired by their new partnership with Xavier University that I went home and watched the second half of the Xavier-Memphis basketball game – which was awesome.

Since I haven’t written much lately, and since this is not a deeply philosophical or intellectual post, let me leave you with a bit of entertainment. This video of Captain Smartypants singing dreidel is hysterical.
