Orthomom, ShulShopper, Community Supported Agriculture

When I first entered the world of blogging I discovered the well-written blog orthomom. This blogger is now snarled in a lawsuit where a school board member of the local school is suing google so they will release the identity of orthomom. Coverage in the local newspaper found here. Even though orthomom never struggled to keep her blog interesting, this will surly provide her with pleanty of new material.

Shulshopper is an innovative new way to do your synagogue scouting. You can review your shul worship experience and read other's comments. It will be intriguing to see if this takes off as an idea. They seem to still be working out some of the technical bugs.

CSA stands for community supported agriculture. Essentially it involves purchasing a share of farm produce now for the summer. This lessens farmers risk because you share in their bounty and their hardships. It also means you receive a full bag of produce every week all summer long making sure you eat your veggies. There are an assortment of CSA throughout the country that you can see here. We have decided to split a share to support Growing Home, a CSA which helps homeless and low income people in Chicago. Posting will follow with reports.
