A nice perq of living in South Florida is getting the Jewish Journal for free at local establishments or in my case, Bagels and More.There are interesting articles with a pro-Israel slant, ads for Passover supplies and rants by folks who love to opine on everything from what the sound of the shofar meant in Biblical times to how Obama's trip to Israel will be a disaster. Where else would I find out that there is a whole movie devoted to the history of Hava Negilah and that it is playing in three theatres, one conveniently located in each of the three South Florida counties?
Too bad I will miss the "Rock and Soul Shabbot" at Temple Beth El (the other Reform Temple in Hollywood) next week. But the February 28th issue was a little late in talking about the Anti-Defamation League speaker at the Sunrise Jewish Center - he spoke on February 1st, 4 weeks ago. There are listings for restaurants offering no-cook Seders and ads for Chinese Buffets, computer tutors, rentals in upstate New York, cemetery plots, fine jewelry, Nosh Fest (I'll miss that too) and home health care. Are you visually or reading impaired? Do you need a large print Hagaddah? The Jewish Braille Institute will set you up for free!
Got to love the Jewish Journal!
