Many of you know that I am on the Steering Committee of an organization called Limmud NY - a festival of Jewish learning in which over 800 people come together for a 4 day event that celebrates all things Jewish through study, music, dance, film, prayer, and discussion. It's coming up January 17-21, 2008.
Last year I was on the Marketing team and created a short fun video as a promo for the January 2007 conference (check it out here). This year I am co-leading the Marketing Team and we created a fun "pop quiz" to both collect anecdotal data, but mostly to draw people to the website and demonstrate that we have a wicked sense of humor. Go to the Limmud NY homepage and take this month's quiz (and return each month for a new fun quiz).
If you'd like to know more about Limmud NY, feel free to contact me - I'd love to tell you all about it.
Once upon a time, a fellow named Matt sent out a periodic paper newsletter letting friends know what was going on in his life. It was called "The Grobtrotter" (thanks mgm!).
This was followed some years later by an e-mail version titled "Bon Matts".
Thanks to the web and the kind folks at Google, this is the newest incarnation of Matt's random thoughts, ideas, rants, and news of his life. Enjoy!

Scotrun, PA
On I-80 in Pennsylvania, just over the border from New Jersey at the Delaware Water Gap, is a town called Scotrun. Every time I drive past and see the exit for Scotrun, the auto-correct function in my brain reads it as "Scrotum, PA." I recently found out that I am not the only one to whom this happens.
I think they should have a sign at the exit that says "Welcome to Scotrun - Have a ball!"
