GA Wrap-Up: Day 1

November 18, 2008 - 1:59 AM by

As written about here, the GA’s in town and so are thousands of Jewish leaders from the US, Israel, and around the world.  So what goes on at this mega-conference anyway?

Here’s one wrap-up:

Edgar Bronfman tells us that at age 36, David Ben-Gurion was the head of the Labor Party. Herzl was 36 when he came to Palestine. Anybody else feel like an underachiever? Suddenly, winning at Sudoku doesn’t feel quite as important anymore. I officially have two years to do something. He says let’s not talk about intermarriage as an enemy but as a reality. He continues, saying that the biggest threats to the Jewish community are ignorance and apathy, “I don’t know and I don’t care.” I have one thing to say to that. WHATEVER.

Edgar Bronfman gets his speech on. E-Bron, if you’re reading this…umm, can I go out with your granddaughter? Grandson? Cleaning lady? I’m not picky.

    2. Its easy to state problems and issues – its the solutions that are required.

    One significant way to combat this is for Jewish people to learn Hebrew. Language is powerful because we communicate this way.

    Just look how people view those that cannot speak English – as ignorant.

    If Jews could all speak Hebrew then they would have access to everything Israeli and a wonderful connection would occur.

    So Eddie, put your money where your mouth is and assist in sending Rosetta Stone Hebrew lessons to fellow members of the tribe in the US and Canada!
