Still, the jacuzzi and fancy coffeemaker are still on my wishlist.

Wait didn’t Steinhardt fund Jewcy? I heard those were some awesome parties at that awesome office space!

You’re missing his point. It’s that fresh and new ideas are needed if real change will come about in the Jewish community. It’s a fair and correct statement. To achieve this, he tells the leadership of the community that we’ve accepted mediocrity and ideas that don’t work for a long time. The results are plain to see and they’re not encouraging.

I would say that Jewcy was a similar attempt to do something unusual and new. Where they went wrong, perhaps, was that they thought like a typical dot com instead of learning those lessons.

Let’s not diss that project too much, they weren’t so bad as a funded entity. It was just perhaps a little insane to fund them to the extent they were funded when alternatives such as this site existed.

What’s weird to me is that Jewlicious already existed and as a platform would have been a shortcut to achieving similar goals. I assume nobody called us.

I gave my ping pong and foosball tables away. As I’ve said before, I’ll sponsor an airhockey table if that gets us generous funding.
