43-Year Old Bar Mitzvah
Please read my article in The Times of Israel called, "Bring Every Jew Back."
Read what happened and hope you enjoy! ;-)

Today in a beautiful Chabad synagogue here in Florida, the Rabbi called to the Torah a bar mitzvah. But in this case, the bar mitzvah "boy" was a 43-year old man!
Read what happened and hope you enjoy! ;-)

Black Thursday For Shopaholics
So Black Friday Shopping extravaganza that used to happen the day after Thanksgiving has now turned into Black Thursday mega-shopping on Thanksgiving Thursday.
The huge Sawgrass Mills Mall in Sunrise, Florida is open 10 AM to 1 AM!
The mall was packed with people and the deals were pretty fantastic.
Under Armour was 50% off!
True Religion was buy 1 get 1 free!
Almost every store seemed to be 1/2 price off already reduced prices.
What I liked in this video I took here was the WOW! display around the entire entrance to this Century 21 apparel store.
Watch the whole thing...it is really cool what they did with this frontage real estate for this store.
Great job on the marketing and very inviting!
So lots of compulsive shopping, but not so much turkey today. ;-)

Square Trees
So I never saw square trees until I visited Palm Beach, Florida.
What's the saying:
"It's hip to be square!"
I definitely had to take a doubletake when I saw these.
Wherever we were going, I was gonna stop and get a photo of this.
These trees are almost as if they are from another planet.
What planet would have square trees?
Hope you enjoy it.

That's Some Pricey Garbage Art
So we stopped in this gallery in Palm Beach.
And there lay this piece of "art".
Well, I'm not sure--is this really art?
The proprietor explained that this is made up of scrap pieces of metal from the garbage dump like from old discarded automobiles.
The artist welded the garbage together, painted it, and voila there it is--some very pricey art.
Who pricey you ask.
Take a guess.
No really.
No, you're too low.
Try again.
No, you're still too low.
Not even in the ballpark.
Okay, I'll tell you, but only because you asked so nicely.
It starts with a 95.
No, not $9,500.
No, not $95,000 either.
That's right $950,000!!!
All this "art" can be yours if the price is right.
Can anyone say "irrational exuberance" again? ;-)

Where does the water go?
Product design takes a new turn, but the water just dish-appears! ;-)
