Conference 2011: I’m going! Maybe! IY”H! Are you?

cooltext517336770Still a couple of details to work out (and I still have to pay!), but yes, it looks like, God willing, and everybody else as well, I will be spending a Sunday in Baltimore for this year’s Torah Home Education Conference.

You cannot believe how excited I am!

There’s a pretty cheap MegaBus that leaves right after Shabbos and gets in early Sunday morning.  So the plan is that I will sleep on the bus both Saturday and Sunday nights, and spend all day Sunday hangin’ with my homeschooling peeps. 

Weird.

Are all homeschoolers as antisocial and/or poorly socialized as I am?  I hope not!  I hope I am the shyest of the bunch… it would be terrible to be in a room full of people like me.

Anyway.

In my excitement, I created two fabulous logos online!

And you can bet there are more details to come… when I have some.

Is anyone else out there planning on attending this???

    I went last year and was hoping to go this year, but it isn't in the cards. I had a blast and came back invigorated and inspired.

    I hope you enjoy it!

    I did not know anything about this conference. I so want to go. I sent the link to the Daddy. If I can bring Baby O I may actually get to go. We are close enough that I can do it as a day trip.

What do we tell our kids about Chabad and “Yechi”?

If I start by saying I really like Chabad, and adore the late Lubavitcher Rebbe, z"l, well... maybe you already know where I'm headed. Naomi Rivka has been asking lately what I think about Chabad.  She asks, in part, because she already knows how I feel.  She already knows I’m bothered, though to her, it’s mostly about “liking” and “not liking.”  I wish things were that simple. Our little neighbourhood in Israel has a significant Chabad presence, and Chabad conducts fairly significant outreach within the community.  Which sounds nice until you realize that this is a religious neighbourhood, closed on Shabbos, where some huge percentage of people are shomer mitzvos.  Sure, it’s mostly religious Zionist, and there are a range of observances, for sure, but we’re pretty much all religious here in some way or another. So at that point, this isn’t outreach but inreach .  Convincing people who are religious to be… what? A lot of Chabad’s efforts here are focused on kids, including a
