This is from an email I received. The subject line read "Jewish Love, Jewish Gossip, Jewish Money."
Are they for real? I just hope that the ultimate goal is not to dissuade bright young students from completing their university curriculum, as such kiruv organizations have been known to do. Paying people to learn about Judaism has a cheapening effect and a great potential to backfire. I guess the kiruv pros are running out of ideas. It's hard to engage today's youth in what many of them consider an archaic and rigid form of Judaism. The pull of the secular world is greater than $250 and a couple of movies on the "Aish Cafe Movie Player." "Whatever Works" must be the new mantra.

This doesn't seem right. Doling out cash for a little attention from young people seems pretty pathetic. If the kiruv people were so dynamic this wouldn't be necessary.
