Driving from one DEC office to the other this morning, I heard,
over the radio, a lively, upbeat, typical Madison Ave. jingle with
the words:
"Being Jewish is just the beginning"
The refrain was repeated several times and then a voice-over pushed
free Hebrew lessons: something on the order of get four free lessons
and be ready for the holidays.
At the end, some organization was mentioned of which I never heard.
Anyone know who's behind this campaign?
Thanks,
Gene

Perhaps it's the National Jewish Outreach Program. This organization
is run by Rabbi Ephraim Buchwald, who started the Beginner's Minyan
at Lincoln Square Synagogue. They're involved in Jewish education
aimed at those with little or no background in traditional Judaism.

I asked someone, and was told that it was probably CHABAD.
