As the title says....this is YOUR informal portal into everything you ever wanted to chat about, share or just vent when it comes to being Jewish in the real world.....

we hope that this beginning will inspire friends to share their thoughts and comments and contribute in any way they can....so.....come along and click through our pages, give us your input and make this truly your place.

Those who have spent some time with me know that I thrive on sharing your insights. Please lets see if we can all grow in our efforts in experiencing the wonder of what is the mysterious yet wondrous world of Jewishness....

Like so much in life I could never had done this without the support of others. Firstly I must extend my heartfelt blessings and thanks to Stuart Marks who facilitated the purchase of the computers etc. that allowed this old man to join the world of websites and podcasts. Stuart you are always there and I cherish your help and friendship greatly....may you and your wife Maxine see true nachas from all your loved ones and may we share in only simchas for many years to come.

As in my earlier attempts in reaching a wider circle of friends, this site has been dedicated in the memory of Corinne and Leon Evanthall of Blessed Memory by their loving son David. Here too Hashem has granted me a special friend, David is blessed with the warmth and open hearted goodness that was the hallmark of his wonderful parents. he is never further than a phone call away and his ability to help is truly unique. May this site bring added merit to his parents memory.

Finally to all you who will hopefully read and share in this attempt in communication, thanks for allowing me into your lives and may we share in only simchas

Y Reuven Rubin...Bowdon
