CBST's Open Door policy that gives everyone the opportunity to attend our High Holy Day services without being a member or buying a ticket is the cornerstone who we are. It is also our gift to the entire New York Metropolitan Jewish community by those who, for so long, were removed from full participation in Jewish Life. The Open Door is only able to survive with the support of our members and non-member donors who make this fund and our High Holy Day appeal a success each year. Please take a moment and make a donation to help sustain this community and the wonderful difference we are making in the world.

Pratt Institute - schedule visit
Vice President for Enrollment
Pratt Institute
718 636-3743
Pratt’s Media Arts program emphasizes an awareness of fine arts traditions as well as the professional disciplines of the contemporary media artist. The department promotes critical thinking and independence across the spectrum of media making.
B.F.A. in Film (Film or Animation)
The film and video program is structured to offer parallel production courses at each level of the curriculum. Students acquire foundation skills while pursuing their own artistic visions. Courses in ways of seeing cinema, documentary, personal diary media, project development, and contemporary issues in film and video, augment the education of the a media maker. Animation courses are constructed to afford a wide exposure to all aspects of animation production and to allow students to focus on the areas of greatest interest. Courses in animation history, character development, storyboarding, and storytelling enhance the animation production courses. The junior workshops are advanced studies in film/video or animation production using traditional and digital tools. Because of Pratt’s proximity to New York City, students are encouraged to work in internship programs in film, video, animation, and postproduction studios.The four years culminate in a senior film/animation project that can be in any genre—experimental, dramatic, documentary, or a combination thereof—and in a variety of media. The projects, which are screened in an end-of-the-year show, become students’ portfolios. A portfolio reel can be part of a graduate school application, can be sent to festivals, or can serve as a calling card demonstrating the student’s skill.

Saturday Night Live tickets, not this time
Tonight class and last night Smooch
Just a reminder that Judaism & The Arts begins tonight at 5pm sharp at the Bronfman Center. Although it’s called an “orientation”, it is really the first of the 10 classes of the fellowship and is mandatory. It will last the full 2.5 hours.
Dinner will be at 6pm!
For a complete schedule, click here: http://www.nyu.edu/bronfman/new/index.php?page=JEBiz
Looking forward to meeting you!
Thanks,

-----------------------------------------------
Hey,
Sorry about last night.
I was running a little late and told the owner of Smooch to tell everyone I was on my way.
I got there at 9:15 and there was a big crowd and wehad a good time! =)
Please always leave a voicemail or text me.I get lots of phone calls and sometimes don't answer if I don't know the number. Don't worry we will be back next week! J
Picking up photos in Village
Ate at Ridgeway Diner for breakfast.
Picking up photos at Spectra Photo Digital, 77 Christopher Street. Weird their web site does not list this location...
I was trying to tell him it was going to printed across the sprockets, but you don't have to print the sprockets. He had a very thick accent and didn't understand me. I have a feeling I'm going to get there and he's going to yell at me that it costs extra and he couldn't do it. So I'm probably not going to use them again, but we'll see what happens.
check here for another place http://newyork.zami.com/Photo_Lab/S
New York is easy to figure out on the grid, except when you get below 1st Street and then it takes longer to get my bearings. I need a pocket compass or something to figure out which way I'm heading to save time.

It is a fairly spacious living room, but there might not be too much storage space. The apartment is located on the first floor of a Brownstone, renovated completely with a beautiful kitchen, hardwood floors, new bathroom, etc. There is nothing pre-fab about it. Right now there is someone renting the living room, but he is never here. (Personally, that would be ideal. Be a social butterfly of some sort).
