New Website!

(For those of you who haven't noticed yet...)
In the spirit of the new year, I'm happy to announce that Heart to Heart has a new website - LevBLev.org!

But don't worry, just because Heart to Heart is getting a little more organized and official, doesn't mean it's losing any of it's authentic, personal touch - this is just to extend that touch to wider audiences (and to make it look more official for potential organizational partners, donors, etc.)

I'll probably continue my posting there, so feel free to update your bookmarks to LevBLev.org/blog and check out the offering on the site. It'll hopefully be updated in the near future - both the website pages and the blog!

On a side note, if anyone would like to volunteer their services (whether for website design, graphic design, or really anything), I'd love to hear from you!

On another side note, I'm at Brandeis for Sh'mini Atzeret/Simchat Torah/Shabbat! I dunno if any readers are around there or have connections there and it may be too late, but just throwing it out there... In general, I'm going to be traveling around to different colleges pretty frequently so I'll try and let people know somehow so we could meet up! Ahhh, which reminds me, I never updated everyone on what the future plans for Heart to Heart are. Well, the website says some of it, I'll have to do the rest later...

Final thought: There are these "once-a-year Jews", who go to synagogue once a year - usually Yom Kippur. Which is probably the worst idea - their one exposure to Judaism is a day of fasting, boring prayer, no sexual activity, and more boring prayer. No wonder they don't come back for a whole year! I think we should make a push to get people to come to synagogues for Simchat Torah - let them see some dancing, some joyous Judaism, some funny shtick, and yes, maybe even some drinking. Especially college kids - they'll feel right at home! I know it's (probably) not the deepest and holiest aspect of Jewish life, but maybe that'll inspire them to come back.
Chag sameach!
