‘Reboot’-ing Gen Y

Bill Boyarsky June 22, 2007

She was absolutely right. Movements don\’t start with specifics or 10-point plans. They start with people meeting up and talking. Ideas are generated, plans are made and one day, action is taken. It\’s a slow process. This is where Reboot is now. Perhaps from this generation — prompted by leaders like Levin — an articulate minority will emerge and point the Jewish community in a fresh direction, just as Heschel and Herzl did many years ago.

Call for ‘new’ spiritual Zionism stirs debate

J.J. Goldberg June 22, 2007

Rabbi Yosef Kanefsky June 22, 2007

Moshe was one of a kind. \”None ever rose again like Moshe.\” At the same time, in very powerful ways, Moshe and Miriam were two of a kind. Their personalities and passions overlapped generously. And despite being separated over decades during Moshe\’s extended sojourn in Midian, their destinies and their souls remained intertwined. When one of them left this world, the other descended into grief-stricken crisis.

The Skirball’s new Noah’s Ark exhibit encourages kids to explore universal values through the timele

Julie Gruenbaum Fax June 22, 2007

To 8-year-old Ezra, the pre-opening event at the new Noah\’s Ark at the Skirball Cultural Center is a novel and memorable play experience, with all the sorts of things kids love — noisy cranks and pulleys to operate, to play with and to discover. While fun is high on the list of goals for the fanciful and compelling world of Noah\’s Ark, opening to the public on June 26, curators believe a couple hours aboard the ark can also help kids and the grownups they bring learn about the importance of collaboration and the effect your actions can have on your world — all with the underlying epic theme of how to weather a storm and find safe harbor.
