I was reading an aritcle about social media - all about the differences it has created in our society and in the meaning of friendships.

With the increase in the usage of social media in our day in age, its important to ask what does it mean?

Does it have the value that the real physical friendships have? Is a friendship maintained (and perhaps even created) on social media a true friendship?

There are so many questions coming up nowadays regarding the addiction to social media and what affect it has on our physical relationships that exist in actuality. 

The article I just read, I feel is a testement to the overbearing role that social media plays in our lives. The article was all about this new app for smartphones called "Split." Split is an app that has been created to help you avoid people that you dont want to see. It gathers everyones informations that they publicize over the internet and uses it to track them, and therefore if you are going out and trying to avoid someone specific, you can type in your name and it can tell you either where that person is and/or where they were seen last.

It is crazy how much social media is prevalent in our lives, so much so that it is being used to help avoid people you are 'not in the mood' to see. 

Recently, I receieved the news that a fellow staff member, from the seminary in which I learned in, is terribly sick, with cancer. I was so shocked by this news of him being sick. I just remembered him being so healthy.

A different staff member in our school started something called the Challah Project, which tries to get as many people as possible to bake Challah in the merit of his getting better and healthy. Baking Challah is said to have the best segulah for people who are sick to get better.

I had never made challah ever in my life, but I decided that now would be a good time to take it upon myself to start making every weeked. 2 weekends ago, my roommate and I baked challah and it was delicious! This past weekend, we made again, with a different recipe, and they came out great! We made regular challah, cinnamon and sugar challah and sweet challah.

It is so nice to be able to do something that many people can benefit from, while still doing it for a good reason.

I hope and pray that the 'luck' of making challah will lead us to good news in the future of his health and well being.
