To all you insomniacs out there:

New numbers....

Hi all,

Shmuly and I both got new cell numbers. I'm not posting them here because I don't want the whole blogger world to know them. But feel free to call us on our house number or text us on our old phones for the next week and a half to get the numbers!

Can't wait to see the Chicago-ins next week!

Are you Parsha Picture People?

So ladies and gents of the Isenbloggers... I'm starting a project and I'd like to challenge you and your kiddies to a ** Parsha Picture Contest **  for children ages 3 and up (yes if you still feel like a kid you can enter too.)

The purpose is to create a Parsha Picture Book for the entire year. The pictures must be hand-drawn (not computerized, copied, pasted etc.) and depict a scene or idea or really anything from the week's Parsha. Select pictures will be chosen to go into a picture book. Think Photo-book from Snapfish.

What will be done with said picture book -- is yet to be determined.

For at least the trial run - 8/9 weeks until Pesach - all those who submit an entry will receive points for creativity, use of color (even if it is only black and white), and pictorial content.  Come Pesach the picture person with the most points will get a prize! (Not sure what it will be. Might be a "Maccabeats" CD or fancy coloring book or ...  prize still yet to be determined.  There will be 2 runner up prizes as well.

If that goes well - we'll start the "points" anew and the next "prize time" will be Shavuos...

To submit entries you can either scan and post on the blog or email isenbergprojects@gmail.com with the subject line "Parsha People"  Make sure to sign your pictures with at least your first name and if your friends are going to get involved too make sure they have their full name somewhere in the email or blog post.

And remember -- Keep your pictures because if they're chosen we'll need the originals to make the photo book that much more awesome!

Looking forward to seeing your Parsha Picture Creations!!!
