Chinese Food or Christmas Dinner? Happy Holidays from the Online Congregation!

December 24, 2008 · Filed Under Baum's Blog 

Happy Hanukkah! Have you all made your plans yet for Christmas Eve and Christmas dinners? For those of you indulging in Chinese food and a movie – enjoy! And for those of you celebrating with your Christian friends and family, enjoy! May the winter holidays be wonderful for everyone, and 2009 be a great year!

You’ll see I haven’t blogged much lately (and by much, I mean: at all). But, I think I can get away with it, because I now have a videopodcast – much like a blog – except you can see me and hear me. I know, that was a brilliant point I just made.

Anyway, the video podcasts have been fun to produce, and I must say I’ve learned quite a bit about lighting, sound, web pages, video editing, video streaming, and a gazillion other things over the last 4 months – things that they didn’t exactly teach me in rabbinical school…

So, check out the videocasts on OurJewishCommunity.org. Or, watch them directly on our YouTube channel, where you can rate them if you like them…. and please, please please, post them on your Facebook pages, email them to everyone you know, yadda yadda yadda. You know the drill! And, it’s not just because I want to get on Oprah (although that’s part of it!).

We want to spread the word because we know we are building a Jewish community that speaks to the modern Jewish experience. Almost 2,500 people have walked through the “doors” of our online synagogue since we launched it less than four months ago. It’s incredible!

So, check out the podcasts, the kids’ activities, the stories, the eCards, the articles, and so much more. Comment, discuss. Build this congregation with us – and come back and see us soon- not just during the holidays!

Happy Hanukkah/Chanukah/Hanuka!
