We all know there are plenty of Jews in New York. Perhaps that's why NBA superstar Amare Stoudemire has signed with the Knicks.
The five-time NBA All-Star is on a weeklong visit to learn about Israel, its language and religions. He believes he has "Hebrew roots" through his mother, Carrie.

YORTZITE THOUGHTS,
on
07/27/10
This week's Torah reading is עקב -- Eykev -- a significant section to be sure. But this week I am more concerned with the date.

We light the memorial candle. We find a synagogue and say Kaddish, if we can. And we spend a few minutes with echoes and mental pictures or faded photographs of Mom or Dad or some other...

How To Save Money While Raising 7 Healthy, Green Kids,
on
05/18/10
When I had my first child, "organic" and "green" were not words you heard every day. Organic cotton clothing? Eco friendly toys? BPA free bottles? To most I was speaking a foreign language. I remember expecting my first child, my request for cloth diapers was met with a collective gasp. "Why would you want to do that, disposables are so much easier?" That was almost 30 years ago.

Help! I'm A Boomer In A High Tech World,
on
02/12/10
Shalom and Hi there-This is Cantor Eva and Rabbi Steve:
There are so many of you out there and this is a whole new world. Along with, our show, “In The Moment,” we want to begin to communicate and share who we are, what we value and our vision of Jewish life in the 21 st C. However, being a member of the boomer generation, means that our familiarity, with today’s way of communicating – cable-television, Facebook, twitter, blogging and G-d knows whatever else is about to emerge, is not only minimal but terrifying. I don’t know about the rest of...
