WHO IS ORGANIZING THIS?

Jacob, David and Jenny met in Olympia and decided to engage in this project together. Jacob is a yid from Portland, David is a yid from Vermont, and Jenny's not Jewish, from Ithaca.

Jacob is excited about the prospect of designing economic projects for the community.
David is jazzed about teaching young people in the community, and organizing events and workshops for them.
Jenny is something else. We'll get some info about her up soon.

Jacob Aaron Rosenblum Hi, my name's Jacob Aaron Rosenblum and I grew up in Portland, OR, and moved to Olympia in September of 2002. I'm 25 years old, almost always wear a kipah, I like chess and scrabble, am a technophile, and am super into being Jewish. I am a proud high school drop-out, attended Evergreen for about a year, and have spent many months in Israel/Palestine. I fairly regularly get together with other people to cry and talk about my feelings. My favorite colors are purple and green. The countries I have been to include: USA, Mexico, Canada, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Switzerland, Greece, Italy, Israel/Palestine, England, Jordan, Egypt, Uganda, Holland, Germany and Iran. Of all of the things that I like, I like people best.

David Zenaty It's a well known fact that most beetles share the planet with other species that are not beetles and I am one of those non-beetle species. I'm of the group that invented institutions and robots. I was born in Burlington, Vermont to a Jewish mother from Long Island and a Czech-heritage father from Massachusetts.  I went to school in Maine for a few years, studied English, creative writing and psychology, then finished up at The Evergreen State College with a BA emphasizing psychology.  I am a teacher by trade and vision.  I have designed a number of educational programs in the Olympia area and will continue to pursue that line of interest in Oregon.  I identify as a Jew arising from assimilation into the long-projected promise land (perhaps the present moment), with my freshest human intelligence intact.  And so, the voices are clear. The beetles sing it most clearly. Look out!
