Giving Charity has never been more convenient. ECharityBox, Change for Change

Charity is an act of love, kindness and compassion. It is also a duty, a privilege, a right, an act of justice, a humbling experience even more for the giver than for the recipient. We all have the duty to give charity and help those in need or help a worthy cause, but some of us are very busy individuals with barely enough time in our busy lives to tend to our families and those close to us, not to mention time for charity! If writing checks and mailing them out is not working for you or collecting money in a Pushka (charity box) then making sure it gets to the right organization instead of lying around the house forever…and not to mention waiting for those mail donation receipts then finding them at tax time!...then 2010 has an easy solution for you! With ECharityBox doing acts of kindness and giving charity has never been easier, giving change for change.

Mommy and Me at The Chai Center!

I remember when I was a kid, my parents used to save a special day of the week and spend it with the one of us kids and I remember that alone quality time with my folks until this very day.

Now even if it seems impossible to juggle between your career and family, all you really need is that one morning in order to create unforgettable memories.

That’s why The Chai Center of Dix Hills created the new Mommy and Me program – a morning of excitement for the mother and child.

We offer a unique environments for Infants and for bigger kids (ages 1-3) and provide a great first play and social experience for your little one which includes parenting discussion, circle time, songs, parachute, bubbles… and lots of fun!

In the Chai Center you’ll find an all new Mommy and Me playroom and an innovative program for babies and toddlers in a stimulating, fun and creative atmosphere.

What’s so great about this program the multi-sensory experiences that encourages emerging language, motor development, socialization and bonding between parent and child. Plus, you get the chance to meet other Jewish moms and spend quality time with your child!

So let us know if you’re coming and don’t forget to visit our site at www.thechaicenter.com!

Jewish Humor Stewart Rappaport

We all have a warm spot in our hearts when it comes to Jewish Humor. It’s a part of our heritage, a part of our religion and a part of how we are. I mean, who doesn’t like the occasional rabbi that walks into a bar, or the story about the Jewish mother?

There are many Jewish comedians out there and you can even say that most comedians out there are probably Jewish or have Jewish roots. Just to name a few, you’ve got Woody Allen, Lewis Black, Mel Brooks, Lenny Bruce, Danny Kaye, Jerry Lewis, Adam Sandler, Jerry Seinfeld, really… should we continue? It can take all day.

Nobody really knows what is it about Judaism that turns so many into comedians and stand-up artists and this week in Café Chabad we want to think about this issue with the help of Stewart Rappaport, the world renowned Jewish comedian.

Winner of the 2005 Jewish Week’s Comedy Contest, Stewart Rappaport has been doing stand-up comedy for over 15 years and has entertained many groups. He has starred in many regional theater productions, from “Fiddler On The Roof” to various Neil Simon comedies, such as “The Odd Couple” and “Broadway Bound”.
