  1. Al – I agree with you that more people would come if it was free, but we didn’t think $5 would be a deterrent and we would like to cover our costs. We are very young grass roots organization with no budget and at this point we would prefer not having to focus on fund raising.

  2. Hi,

    See you there.

    But I would suggest NOT charging admission.

    More people will come if it is free. If you want to raise money, have a parlor meeting.

    If you want to have a shuir, give a shiur.

    Decide.

  5. How about taping this, and offering the tapes as a fundraiser for this site? Please… :-)

    There are Jews outside the Metro NY area…

    Which reminds me of a story :-)-

    Then-not-yet-Rabbi YDK and I learned together in the Midrasha Gevoha at the entrance to Bayit V’gan. We had been friends since we were teenagers at demonstations for Soviet Jewry and other things, years before in the US.

    One day we’re standing in the foyer, discussing something or other, when Y. responds to me by saying “that’s right, I forgot you’re from out of town”.

    Somehow, that struck me as awfully incongruous in light of the fact that we’d both been living in Israel for over 10 years by then, teaching in Yerushalayim, post-army, raising families, the whole route (and the conversation might even have been in Ivrit, I don’t recall). Even after all that, his ‘hava amina’ was a Jew was from the Greater NY area (I grew up in Stamford, CT). I don’t know how he referred to native Yerushalmim (*way* out of town?).

    So, for the out-of-towners, maybe this could be taped. It certainly should be an worthwhile opportunity.
