Hi everyone,
At YALDAH, we try to reach out to all Jewish girls and there’s a special program, The Friendship Circle, that reaches out to and works with Jewish children with special needs. Three-time Editorial Board member, Rebecca Berlin, is the president of the Friendship Circle in her area and she brought to my attention that FC is now in the running to win $1 million! I want to urge all of you to vote to support this charity in this amazing opportunity. Visit www.votefc.com for all the information on the contest and how to vote today.
At YALDAH, we’re starting work with the new Editorial Board in a few days and we have the Summer 2010 issue all mapped out. We’re also finishing up the Spring 2010 issue and getting it ready for print soon.
Here’s my question for you, for today (two questions, actually)… what is your favorite section in YALDAH and why? If you could cut any section, which one would go and why?
Talk to you soon,
Emily
i dont have facebook so i cant vote..i love everything, i don weant anything to be cut out(maybe the mistakes :))
Hi,It's Rebecca Berlin…About the facebook thing, if you don't have facebook as you mom, dad, brother, sister, friend, ANYONE to vote!! It would really help!!As to cutting, I hate to see things go, but I feel Her Story is getting a little old… But thts an opnion
I love the inspirational stories. Of things to go, i dont want to offend any writers but i think esties journal is not so easy to relate to. In camp, friendship circle joined for 2 weeks, and i became friends with one of the girls. any child with special needs should be in friendship circle because theyre such incredible people and friendship circle does such good work. I dont have facebook, but the people in my family who do have voted :) Right now FC is 7th on the list of top 100 charities, and if its in the top 5 it gets 100,000$ so lease vote to raise it up just that much more, and even get it to first place to win a million dollars!
Friendship Circle is so amazing and important! THE ONLY JEWISH ORG!! thanks for posting!!
i think you should add fiction storiesthere is too much craft, advice, nature, opinions etc in yaldahwhat i really want is something nice to read
i do not think its fair that girls form last year were chosen again, i mean, hey, y not give some1 else a chance, we all want to b part of it!!! i know, we could send stuff in, but its NOT the same
when am i gonna get my 2010 agent brochures?
Whoever has requested agent flyers should get them within a couple days. They were all mailed out- some on Friday and some today.
i totally agree with that last comment. even if someonne on the ed board did a great job, its a new year and new pople should have a chance to show their talents, and i know the person from the last comment isnt saying this because she was upset that she didnt get in, but because she really thinks that evey year should be a different ed board to be fair to other people who have talents too.
B"HI don't have facebook so I can't vote but I will tell people who I know have facebook. As for cutting something out, I really don't know because I like ALL of Yaldah. Keep up the great work!
Please let us know what you think about the features in YALDAH through this survey: https://app.icontact.com/icp/sub/survey/start?sid=1380&cid=445207
Thanks for the comments, everyone! We will keep them all in mind. And keep them coming! As Leah said, you can now take a survey at https://app.icontact.com/icp/sub/survey/start?sid=1380&cid=445207 about the sections in YALDAH. On the Editorial Board, we like to have a mixture of new girls and girls with experience. All the applications were amazing this year and I wish we could let everyone on. Thank you to everyone who applied, I hope you will all apply again next year and be sure to submit to the magazine!
I agree with the comment about the editorial board, and I also agree that Her Story is a little…because some of the ones I have read just don't sound like the person would have said it. Also, I don't feel like I can relate to music notes. Overall, I really do like Yaldah, and I think that it is a great magazine
I really like her story!!! Please don't get rid of it!
Her story is nice and all but… Maybe you could do it differently, like saying women of the tanach and have a short but detailed story about that particular women. I'd like to see more stories in there too. Maybe next issue you can have two stories instead of just one. Thanks!!
