2011-05-27T10:36:00.000-07:00

How much money did you spend today? Maybe you got a cup of coffee for $3.50, bought lunch for $11.34 and then picked up a new pair of shoes on the way home for $58.60. What if you could round up each of those purchases to the nearest dollar, and donate the spare change to Jewish Arizonans on Campus?

Well, our newest partner SwipeGood allows you to do just that: maximize your loose change for a good cause. And while the resulting $1.56 from today might now sound like a little, it actually adds up to over $20 in donations over the course of the month - without any extra work on your part.

But don't take our word for it - go ahead and take SwipeGood or a test drive. All you have to do is go to our page on SwipeGood and sign up your credit or debit card. SwipeGood rounds up your purchases to the next dollar, and lets you donate the change to Jewish Arizonans on Campus. You can even cap your monthly donations, so your are in complete control of the amount of money you donate each month.

How good will it feel to go about your every day shopping knowing that each purchase you make will connect Jewish students in Arizona to their heritage? I can tell you it feels great.

So what are you waiting for? Learn more, enroll your credit or debit card today and change the world around you, one purchase at a time.

Jewish Athletes on Yom Kippur

2010-09-13T13:20:00.000-07:00

What are you willing to give up when it conflicts with your convictions? Would you pitch on Yom Kippur? Go to the game? Watch the game on TV?

and for you soccer fans

I truly believe that if we only knew what Yom Kippur has to offer we would hesitate for a second. As my Friend Moishe said "On Yom Kippur we get forgiven for all our sins. I would fast and pray for two days if I had to. It's totally worth it"

Is it the Music?

2010-08-31T22:31:00.000-07:00

After reading this I started really thinking about the power of song. What is it about music that makes this happen. Or perhaps, it is simply doing something Jewish that leads people to do more Jewish things.
