Since this past weekend was Tu B’av sort of lik eth ejewish valentines weekend we were urged to try our Second Worldwide Kiddush Event. This time we attracted 72 people who spent the entire kiddush shouting out Mazel Tov.

I called out names, bloggers etc. and all went well. Our last Kiddush was a major success all in all about 18 dates were arranged immediately after the kiddush and many are reporting getting engaged soon, is that too fast?

Daph, and all blog posters here on Jewlicious got a shout out and a huge Mazel Tov. For you marrieds, it goes for your kids.

Our latest project is off and running called “Got Shabbos?” where we take a crew, food, spirit, stories and lots of song to anyone’s home who does not yet keep shabbat and offer to put the Shabbat on for them. We believe that if people can see how wonderful and exciting Shabbat can be they may want to try it on. We’re booked through Feb. ’06 and rocking on.

Hope to see you all soon at our next Shabbat event coming soon.

Who could say no?!

One hot chick wearing orange is all it’ll take…

Reb Chaim is meeting tons of singles, no? Of the male and female variety, right? And at the same time, he knows and has spent quality time with the Jewlicious crew. So he knows them too, right?

So, let him interview a bunch of his harem of singles, find appropriate matches for each of the singles among our beloved Jewlicious blogmeisters, and marry THEM off on the beach. Kinda like Reverend Moon. But Jewish. And on a beach. Now THAT would be publicity inspiring.

To be followed, of course, by Brit on the Beach, Kabalat Bat on the Beach (let’s avoid future problems by making sure the baby girls get their mazal tovs c’mo sh’tzarich) and various other simchas on the beach.

Nu, Reb Chaim?

Reb Chaim will be able to recommend another couples.

A feature on the Jewlicious home page would draw responses.

Strangers? no – one’s friends and family could stay in a block of rooms reserved at the inn near the beach, perhaps.

This initiative is aimed at:
1) Couples who are involved, but may not quite be able to face, or pay for, a typical wedding – this is intended to push them over the edge from girlfriend-boyfriend / significant-other, into a real deal, child-producing, New Home.

And 2) People who have decided to marry, but have only modest means and a modest guest list, and want a kosher wedding they can handle, scaled to their needs. But, they can’t quite figure out how to bring it off. So they put it off endlessly. These people need happiness, legitimacy and children.

Even if the money is there for a fancy event, some people might want to scale back a little, and put some of it into something else.

Like Pampers.

So they might consider this.

Let us capture people’s imagination. Let us get them to think outside the box. Let us inspire people to take the plunge by making it easy and cheap.

Just checking….. The comments have me kinda worried. All that being said, I am sure that, if you want it to happen, you will find a happy couple game for the experience.

Daphna’s friends.

Their flame was breathed from a red coal into a burning flame by the breath of the bride’s friend’s voice, Daphna’s voice, saying Mazal Tov for them, in the Holy Land, in Jerusalem itself.

Wow!

That should be run with. The beach is waiting. Do something. You have what you need.
