I congratulate all of you for making this happen. I was especially struck by the solar power talk and how its the Rabbi's position that it is a religious obligation to not use fossil fuels in the synagogue. While I am exactly 0% religious, your congregation is very attractive to me :-) Fantastic bunch of people! I echo the other comments, sounds like a fantastic event!

However I would have to cross the Pacific ocean and the whole country. I am totally fascinated by Judiasm and these talks sound terrific. People seem to bypass the fact that Christianity has roots in Judiasm and I am sure that if Christ was around we would be squirming. I pray that this event brings much to you all.

Although, I did a goggle maps route to it from our place just out of curiosity and found out that Schenectady is actually significantly closer to us than my mom's house is Maine, and <i>way</i> closer than Adam's parents' place, and we do weekend trips up there all the time. I'm still a bit weirded out by that. How can someplace in New York be closer than Maine? That's Just Wrong (tm). I wish I could be there.

This sounds like such a great series of talks and events. I'd love to attend but the commute is just a bit much even for a weekend. Alaska is just a teensy bit far away for this to work for me. Nonetheless, I hope you have an enormous turnout from your local community! Kerri in AK Dang. This sounds like such a great series of talks and events.
