Twitcam Shabbat Service – Let’s Make Jewish History!
We live in a whole new world… One with Facebook friends and Twitter followers, one where definitions of community are changing, one where people are increasingly mobile, one that transcends geographic limitations, and one that allows lots of new opportunities… like a whole new kind of Shabbat experience!
Note: We start talking about 2 min and 30 seconds into the clip. Patience pays off.
Rabbi Barr and I are going to be hosting the world’s first Twitcam Shabbat this Friday night (July 31) at 6PM EST (and every Friday following that!). We hope you’ll join us.
We’ll be posting the link here at 5:45 Friday (EST) – so stay tuned for that. If you are on Twitter, you’ll be able to comment directly on the page – and ask us questions.
At OurJewishCommunity.org, we know that there are many people who aren’t members of synagogues – or who can’t (or don’t want to) show up for services at a designated time. We’re bringing services to you – on your computer. They will be short and sweet!
We want your participation. If we get 20 people, we’ll be giving away a great prize. In addition to the gift of a great Shabbat experience, of course!
So join us… have a conversation with us… and you can even pour yourself a cup of wine (we’ll have ours!).

John and I would have loved to watch live but at showtime we were trapped in 30 miles of standstill traffic in Grant County, Kentucky, watching our gas tank go further south than we could, and praying — as humanists are wont to do — that we would make it home before our bladders did.
Still, it was great, and it inspires me to figure out this tweat/twitter thingee so I can kibbutz with y’all live next week — same Bat time, same Bat channel, same Bat jokes

I love being a part of history! Sorry I missed the live event … I think I was somewhere on I75 at the time. Congrats on a nice inaugural service!

sorry I didn’t catch you guys live- a few technical issues to resolve, but what a great concept!

Loved the first online shabbat service! It’s great to see it in virtual time after missing it in real time.

YOUR EFFORT IS TO BE LAUDED.
YET AFTER WATCHING THE REPEAT OF YOUR FIRST FRIDAY NIGHT SERVICE, I FEEL YOU SPENT FAR, F-A-R
MORE TIME MARKETING AND A BARE SMALL FRACTION OF TIME ON THE SERVICE
KEEP TRYING, BUT –PLEASE- MORE JUDAISM AND LESS
MARKETING

Just checked out the first shabbat service. What a great idea. Looking forward to more – even if I’m not checking in on Friday evenings.

Joe – Thanks for the feedback. You are absolutely right that we were marketing the service – and introducing ourselves and the concept. We felt that was really important for the first service – so that people would know who we are, where we are coming from, and why we are doing this.
If you watch the archive of the 2nd service (or this week’s upcoming service live), you will see that the focus really is on Shabbat!
Hope you’ll stay tuned!
