RH Baby

At Sinai Live, we promise never to resort to exploitative marketing techniques which manipulate by using children or pets to pull heartstrings. Unlike CBS Kid Nation-- if minors are absolutely necessary then we will make every effort to abide by all state labor laws. To that end, we are formally announcing a casting call for a thematic Jewish Calendar showcasing babies and toddlers. Please send seasonally oriented photos to info@sinailive.com and include contact information.No Xmas/Easter settings, third party representation and stage parents. Only proud relatives with working knowledge of Jewish chaggim need submit.

Reflection Time

The Holidays are a great time of year to think about where we stand and where we are going. It is perfect opportunity to reflect and try to make things right. If Sinai Live has offended you or has not lived up to what you expected-- we apologize. If necessary, we are available to make up to three forgiveness requests. Please e-mail us at pleaseforgive@sinailive.com. We look forward to enhancing your personal journey in 5768. We have great plans and hope to make it on the big board.

SHH!: Help Test Pre-Launch Sinai Live 2.0

Sinai Live labs worked the summer to finish Version 2.0. G-d willing, the new and improved website is expected to be launched right after Yom Kippur. Since we are all one mispacha, please help test and refine the website prior to our public debut. It's not perfect--there are still some bugs. We want to offer the best possible experience based on your feedback. It is also an easy way to earn spiritual credits for the new year.
Please test drive Sinai Live 2.0 and tell us what you think. Please e-mail any comments to info@sinailive.com.

RH Girl

We are on a mission to locate and showcase multi-media material that connects and inspires the Jewish community. We are searching for engaging teachers, events, movies, songs, videos, websites or other compelling formats. Please submit suggestions as we compile a top ten list of favorite picks.

For the high holidays, a new video was released by Birthright that caught our attention. Millions will eventually see it although we do not want the song to end up in our prayer liturgy.
WARNING--The video contains a woman singing with notraditional dress. We are showcasing RH Girl because it offers an engaging message about coming home for the holidays.

Personalized Judaism

The genesis of Sinai Live came from my Mckinsey-type consulting analysis to identify the unmet needs in the Jewish community. As a result of this work, I have developed Sinai Live beta site which strives to make the Jewish experience more relevant and personal. This is a work in progress and look forward to hearing your feedback. Sinai Live (www.sinailive.com) focuses on enhancing your personal journey and offering world class teachers to motivate and inspire. If you are interested in the analysis and approach, please contact me at info@sinailive.com or download the work papers including a Sh'ma article.
