The title's sorta self explanatory, ain't it?
This is the place where the things I dream are sent to cyberspace for all to examine, dissect, and return with comments.

Apples to Apples
We think we have to know it all. We think we have to say it all. We think that we have to be smart. Entertaining. Knowledgable. Infallible.
But sometimes, all it takes to draw someone towards yiddishkeit is an awesome game of Apple to Apples.
welcome back.. So true..especially in this day and age...when mashgichim are learning to get down on the floor with their students.. Any path that leads to the heart..just take it..
Glad to have you back, Dreamer. But to be honest, I don't know what apple to apples is. And I agree: I don't think ANY path works; one shouldn't lower his own standards just to be able to connect. Sacrificing religious integrity can be very dangerous...

thanks.
that was quick!
i just posted...
i don't think it's true that ANY path to the heart is correct, but there are many ways to one goal...
just some are straighter than others...

thanks, JM.
here's a demo - http://www.otb-games.com/demo.html
exactly the point i was trying to make...
sorry - http://www.otb-games.com/demo/index.html
I love that game. :)
The link isn't working...
My Nadoff grandmother bought the game a few years back, but I never learned how to play.
Then when I was home for Pesach, my parents had the Jewish version. I had to convince the younger siblings to play ;)
Great fun!
Truth is... show someone that you know how to have a good time and they are attracted to your way of life.
Cool post. Is this based on personal experience?
scraps - me too.
'specially when you have someone with a great sense of humor playing...
jewmaican - try it again

chaya - for sure. that was the point.
rebecca - yup, it is. a recent one. :)
I've also never played Apples to Apples.
But I'm with your point.
People get more positive feelings from being appreciated than from losing debates.
