Jewish Study Center program: A Philosopher in Search of the Sabbath (Wed., Dec 8)
Listserv Sponsor
A Philosopher in Search of the Sabbath Visit www.JewishStudyCenter.org to register for the free Zoom class A Philosopher in Search of the Sabbath (21F3) scheduled for Wednesday, 8 Dec 2021 at 8-9:30 pm EST. Using an often-humorous power point presentation, Philosopher Susan Pashman takes you through her new book, Journey to a Temple in Time: A Philosopher's Quest For The Sabbath. Dr. Pashman, raised in an atheist family, always loved the Sabbath lights and the notion of a day separated from all others, but wondered how she, who could be sure where she stood on the question of God's existence, could authentically "keep" the Sabbath. Her search for an answer takes her into the Ten Commandments as a whole to see how the fourth Commandment, on the observance of the Sabbath, fits in with the others. She concludes the Sabbath is a special TIME, set aside to be with God. But how does one accomplish that? A review of the "melachot," the work forbidden on the Sabbath, proved unhelpful. But looking to some old philosopher friends like Spinoza and Kant, Aristotle, Nietzsche and Sartre, she finally figured out the deepest meaning of the Sabbath and why it is a morally good thing to exercise one's "Godlike self" on the day set aside to do just that. Jews, Comics, and the Creation of the Superhero A week later come to the free Zoom class on Jews, Comics, and the Creation of the Superhero (21F4) on Wednesday 15 Dec 2021 at 8-9:30 pm EST. Danny Fingeroth, the author of the definitive book on Jews and comics, Disguised as Clark Kent: Jews, Comics, and the Creation of the Superhero, will explore the backgrounds of the largely young American Jewish men from Eastern European backgrounds who created the most well-known superheroes who are so prominent in current popular culture, notably in movies such as Avengers: Endgame and Spider-Man: Into the SpiderVerse. Accompanied by an entertaining and informative PowerPoint slide show, Fingeroth will discuss how the creators’ Jewish origins may have helped make superheroes the most familiar popular culture icons of all—on TV, in movies and electronic media, as well as in comics.

Re: Does DC still impose restrictions on solar installation?
Ralph Allen
DC had one of the most expensive solar soft costs in the country. Typically costs are installation, materials, and soft costs i.e., getting you modifications through the DCRA. So nothing would surprise me about a city espousing green technology and on other hand imposing the most expensive bureaucratic costs in the country.

Cutting the cord: suggestions for landline number parking (was: RCN billing issues)
L Allen
Like many other posters, I've had it with RCN— in my case, in the wake of a $60 monthly increase for my triple-play package, along with longstanding terrible technical support for TV and phone issues. I am now planning to cut the cable cord altogether and switch my internet service to a cheap Verizon plan. Don't need TV service, with streaming services and Roku liveTV channels bridging that gap. But I would like to keep and park my old landline number.
Once in a blue moon (or maybe every six months), a call that I'm interested in comes in on that old number, so I'd like to have a voicemail/email notifications feature on it. Don't need to know about calls the instant they come in. What "parking" services have people used and liked, or disliked, for these needs, including Google Voice and smaller outfits? Thank you for any and all recommendations and warnings.
Happy Thanksgiving, and wishing everyone a stress-free transition back to the "normal" workaday week! Leslie lallendc@...

ISO Feedback on Redfin Concierge Service (Or similar real estate services).
Lisa Ann
Hi-
I am hopefully going to be moving to Massachusetts in 3-4 months and will need to sell my co-op in Cleveland Park. I'm interested in feedback from anyone who has used the Redifn Concierge Service. I met with a Redfin Realtor and the service sounds great to me. They will manage the repairs and do staging. Work would be paying for the move so the higher commission is not an issue. I have a bunch of repairs to get done that I really don't want to deal with. I'm also interested in learning about any realtors that would offer this service too (the repairs). https://www.redfin.com/services/concierge Thanks, Lisa Megna lisa234groupmembership @ mailbolt dot com

Re: ISO summer camp job for teenager
Bosworth Dewey
I only have one piece of advice as my daughter did this in Montgomery County a few years ago. She worked at a camp (Calleva?) for 4 weeks and she thought she was earning $500/week, but it turned out that it was for the entire period. She was there 5 days per week for 8 hours a day. This is apparently completely legal as I called the Labor Dept in MoCo to ask.
I have no problem with kids making less than an adult minimum wage so they can get jobs to learn and make some extra money, but the equivalent of $3/hour was a big disappointment.
She chalked it up to experience and a lesson on reading a contract, but I thought others should at least be aware.
Bos Dewey - original message - My 15-year-old granddaughter would like to work at a camp this summer--either in DC or a sleepaway camp. I have no idea how to help her arrange this. Where could I look?
