Moms & Atzmaut Fun & Giveaways

Thank you to our Facebook friends for suggesting we combine Yom Haatzmaut (Israel Independence Day) and Mother's Day for some new-fashioned social-media fun and giveaways.

TWO WAYS TO WIN

(1) BEST PIN BOARD on Pinterest

The Grand Prize will be given to the person who makes the best Pin Board on Pinterest with the theme of Israel Independence and Moms. Interpret it as you wish: best Israeli products for independent moms OR images that represent independent Israeli women OR historical women who helped Israel's independence OR Israeli women who create awesome Judaica... or ??? Be creative!

A panel of judges will select the winner based on:

1. Concept: the connection between independence, Israel, and mom or women
2. Beauty: the aesthetic look of your Pin Board
3. Creative integration of ModernTribe

The winner of the best Moms & Atzmaut Pinterest Board will win the "Keep Calm" package including the Keep Calm and Love Israel Tote Bag, Mug, and Magnet, a $100 Gift Certificate to ModernTribe.com, and announcement in an upcoming ModernTribe newsletter.

Cool Jew 4th of July Giveaway

"Are you a Jewish American or an American Jew, and why?"

Once again, I am moved by the number and thoughtfulness of your answers! We have such a special community here of people interested in New Jewish culture. It leaves me verklempt. Take a minute to read through the answers if you can.

The winner is:

Aliza "La Jewminicana" Hausman said...

What do you mean are you a Jewish American or an American Jew? Of course, I am both. My identities are not mutually exclusive. On Shabbat, I am always a Jew at rest. But when, like this year, the 4th of July falls on Shabbat, I don’t want kugel or gefilte fish. I demand already-been-barbecued-before-Shabbat hamburgers, fries and chicken wings. It is here in America with its astounding religious freedom that I can be both fully Jewish and fully American. I can be a child of immigrants, strolling towards my kosher stores on every corner listening to Michael Jackson classics from the IPod earbuds in my ear.

For those of you who are curious as to how we pick the winners -- I (Jennie) use a random number generator and if it matches (a) a real attempt at an answer (which all of them usually are) and (b) I can contact the person (I will go searching for your contact on your blog, Twitter, website), then that is the winner. If either (a) or (b) isn't true, I generate another random number.
