Hi -I'll be the first to start

[Chavelamomela]

Hi, I am Chavi,AKA Chavelamomela many of you probably know me from JATP, BTDT, JWN, and a few other places.

What else do you want to know?

Is there a standard "Intro" set of questions?

[Yehudis]

Thank you, Chavi. We really should introduce ourselves. No standard questions, but feel free to suggest some.

[Chavelamomela]

What's your name/screenname/alias/etc?

Please feel free to share any info about yourself, your family, etc.

How did you find the Joyous Jewish Life board?

Any other interesting tidbits we should know?

[Yehudis]

Ok, I'll answer these.

My name is Yehudis (for real ).

I live in Los Angeles, spend most of my time with my children (girls ages 6, 4, and 2), and in my "free" time I write, organize Russian kiruv events, and work on this website.

Also, I've been participating in Rabbi Nivin's chabora for 1.5 years now, and it's really amazing and life changing. That's my inspiration for this website.

I have a wonderful DH, and a delightful little boy who just turned 3. I live in a small community in the NY metro area and plan on making aliyah in 3 years.

How did you find the Joyous Jewish Life board?

Yehudis invited me!

Any other interesting tidbits we should know?

I can get a little (a little?!) passionate about certain issues, especially parenting, health, and other things that involve the choice to educate oneself to make better decisions.

I look forward to see how this board develops.

I live in Los Angeles, CA with my husband. I am still a kallah and had a baby a month ago.

How did you find the Joyous Jewish Life board?
This is great as I am just starting and do not have any religious close friends. I am getting to know people in the community.

Any other interesting tidbits we should know?
I am a semester away from finishing law school! And my husband is religious from birth so I better catch up really fast (I do have three years of yeshiva education and half a year of seminary).
