I'm Sorry, So Sorry
I am really good at apologizing to people I barely know and even better at apologizing to total strangers. I really am. Like if I bump into someone in a store or if my kid says something rude to a passerby, I'm all over it. With business relationships, likewise, if there is ever a misunderstanding or a difference in expectations that arise, I can be conciliatory, repentant, contrite, like you wouldn't believe.

I Wanna Hold My Wife's Haaaand, I Wanna Hold Her Hand
Dear Jew in the City-
Thanks a million for your video, "Jewish Women...Dirrty?" which explains a lot. However, after watching it, I still have a question, which maybe you can answer for me.

Is it just me, or does megilla reading on Purim unleash your inner A.D.D. too? One of the basic requirements of the Purim holiday is to attend two megilla readings (one at night and one during the day), which you can only fulfill if you've heard every single word that was chanted during the readings. Sitting quietly for forty minutes straight, twice in two days, is challenging enough as it is, but knowing that I have to pay attention the entire time, immediately makes my mind want to do the exact opposite. (Don't think of that purple elephant!) Continue reading Purim-fy Your Thoughts

Gettin' Sticky Wit It
I just wanted to point out some of the changes being made on JewintheCity.com in an effort to make the site more searchable, more navigable, and more sticky. The home page now has a working podcast button that will automatically suscribe you to JewintheCity video podcasts on i-Tunes. The blog also has a bunch of new features that will allow you to search the site, read the "best of" list, and find posts by topic. Continue reading Gettin' Sticky Wit It
