1. Marketing Win-Win
Paqid Yirmeyahu ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (07.11.10)
Ok, I acknowledge, most of the Bar-Mitzwahs aren't the Orthodox Teimani ideal I advocate. But I'm one to place the preference on encouraging the Torah half-full glass rather than repelling the Torah half-empty glass. It seems to me that investing marketing monies in this area will generate far greater ROI than trying to market Tel Aviv as a sin city that never sleeps to... whom? Israeli marketing can be divided into three primary target audiences for "sin city that never sleeps Tel Aviv" (SCNSTA) marketing: 1) these and other galut Jews who are already coming without investment in SCNSTA marketing campaigns, 2) Christians who are already coming without investment in SCNSTA marketing campaigns and 3) the rest of the world who ain't gonna buy the inherently feeble SCNSTA marketing campaigns. All three are a waste of marketing resources with no significant potential ROI. Redirecting marketing investment into these kinds of activities for Galut Jews, by contrast, not only suggests a lucrative ROI but creating byproducts of Torah education, a uniquely Judaic effort fitting to the Holy Land, benefiting Jewish youth the world over and drawing them closer to Torah and Israel and bolstering the future of Israel and Am Ekhad while supplementing Israel's economy and helping Israel's citizens incomes. All of this PLUS the beneficial effect these activities have on the huge Christian tourist market, giving them a far better idea of what Jews and the Holy Land should be, as a place to raise and educate a decent and loving family, rather than a better brothel area, strip clubs, homosexual perversion clubs, crime and casinos and the like in a modern Sedom. Paqid Yirmeyahu Paqid 16, The Netzarim, Ra'anana, Israel Israeli Torah-reverer (Teimani, Baladi, Dor Daim, Orthodox Jew) Advocate for Logic as Hermeneutic Halakhic Authority Welcoming All Torah-reverers (Jews & non-Jew geirim)

It is impossible to understand one word on what you intend to mean other than that you are rounding after your own tail once again,like a mad dog,about the issue christian world,ribi youshua or something similar.
