Sept 2nd Week

I am finishing distributing almost 50 of the honey jars. Well received, great gift, great idea.

August 5th Week

These Honey Jars with card continue to be good Kiruv opportunites. I just expanded one with a patient to also push Aish.com the wall com and Lori Almost Live.

August 4th Week

Beginning today, I have 50 honey gifts from ProjectInspireOnline to give out. The first 4 today given to patients were well received and opened up opportunities to discuss enjoying their Judiasm. We'll give to doctors and neighbors later.

August 3rd Week

My Kiruv moment today was with a young Jewish fellow who was going to Brazil (not for spiritual reasons) who was worried about the long plane ride. I gave him "Jewish Matters" to read.

August 2nd Week

I had a patient this week who is a secular identifiably Jewish 50 year old woman who moved into the center of the N. Hollywood community. I gave her a "prescription" to go to Lori Almost Live on Aish.com weekly and then she will have something to discuss with her frum neighbors.

August 1st Week-- Post a Kiruv Moment

My Kiruv Moment was today when my patient who is a married Jewish young mother and visiting Seattle with her similar Jewish friend told me that she was visiting Seattle and that the Dads would stay home with the kids. I suggested that she visit Jewish Seattle, and I described what I knew about it.
If I had been thinking better, I would have suggested the Family Page on the Parsha at Aish.com.

Kiruv Club Begins

We all do some Kiruv, this group blog is to make it easier, knowing that others are working on the same goal, sharing strategies, successes, stories etc. This blog is patterned after a women's blog in greater New York City.

Please, sign up only IF YOU WANT to be a part of it, not if you feel it is an obligation.

I'm going to explain what it is I would like to happen, but please feel free to add, subtract or change anything, anytime to suit us all better. Basically, we are a great group of Jewish men, with energy and potential to spread Yiddishkeit to people we know or are getting to know. This little email thingy is for us more than anyone else. It can be our little support group for each other to share ideas, stories, questions...

Ideally everyone should be reaching out to at least one person per week and sharing their experience(s) with the rest of us. Once a week may be hard, so as soon as I know who will be joining this group I will make a list and everyone will share once in a few weeks or whenever they can.

Seriously it can be fun.. I have ideas and I know you probably have better ideas. Together we can make a difference. I will send around a reminder email in a week or so to follow up. Please share your thoughts and comments.

Best,
