The aperture of a camera lets in light through a camera lense which ultimately forms picture which can be captured. The light is captured just right, so that the picture that results is formed from the totality of its surroundings, creating a snapshot of what is going on around it.
Welcome to The Aperture. This site (launched August 25, 2006) is designed to function much in the same way as a camera aperture – to collect the thoughts and trends which pervade the Jewish community today, places it in its historical and social context, and form “snapshots” of where we are and where we are going.
As President and Founder of Tikvat Yisrael, Inc., Assistant Director of Development for Hillel: The Foundation for Jewish Campus Life, and a committed member of the Jewish community in “Generation Y”, I am exceedingly interested in the happenings in the Jewish community today. This blog is designed to present ideas and get feedback on the Jewish community, to make connections, present historical perspective, and ultimately to build a network of dedicated Jewish leaders and thinkers.
New to the site? Please post your comments, ideas, and arguments in a clear manner. Abide by the “house” rules – everyone’s relevant and well-articulated perspective matters and all perspectives are respected. I look forward to serious and substantive conversation, connections, and partnerships going forward! For more information on me, make sure to visit the Webcenter — uricohen.net.
