Milo Malcolm Blog Post Week 5: Why I Listen to Podcasts, and Why You Should Too

 Recently, I've been listening to many podcasts as the school year started again. On the way to school, while I’m driving in the car, before I sleep at night, everywhere! I love podcasts and being able to do something else while absorbing knowledge and media. During the week before I went back to school, I watched many great TV shows that I never had the time to watch. I watched horror movies, thriller shows, oldies, everything. Before that, I had never really gotten into TV shows or movies, which was new for me. Watching all of those and returning to school, where I didn’t have much spare time to watch media, was a weird adjustment. A few friends told me I should try listening to a horror podcast called “The Magnus Archives” (TMA). The main plot focuses on an archive of mysterious events that happen over time, and the archivist and other main characters that work at the institute try to help solve the overarching mystery and help prevent armageddon. I really enjoyed everything about this show, from the plot to the characters to the acting and sound effects; everything was amazing. The whole show pulled together aspects of the plot that wouldn’t expect to be followed up on, all the loose ends were tied together by the end of the show, and the style of the show was creative and artistic, and I loved it. While listening to podcasts over watching TV shows might not be for everyone, it really helped me enjoy media I love while still having time to do other things I need to focus on. I could clean my room while listening to TMA or making dinner, but choosing podcasts over movies has helped my routine. I recommend it to anyone who has a busy lifestyle but still loves consuming content.

    I have never actually sat and listened to a podcast for my enjoyment as I feel like they aren't entertaining enough but I might have to try it now.

    That's a really smart way or reorganizing your time! I had one podcast I listened to pretty steadily for a while, but then I fell back into just listening to music. Maybe I will try TMA to get back into podcasts.

Joshua Grynbaum Week 5: DKJA Open House

Image
     Some of you may be wondering why I am submitting this blog a day late… Did I forget? Am I just irresponsible? The true reason is that last night I had the honor of attending the Donna Klein Jewish Academy Open House. The Open House was truly an eye-opening experience, where I got to introduce myself and the amazing clubs our Rosenblatt Highschool has. I volunteered as a tour guide and helped set up and lead many of the club stands that attended.      The two main stands I promoted were the Jewish Student Union Club (JSU) and the Business Program. I personally know the presidents of both clubs, which made it easier for me to introduce the clubs to the upcoming parents and students of Rosenblatt Highschool. The Business Club didn’t get much action due to it being in a separate room with all the “signature clubs”, but JSU was a whole different story. The presidents were playing Israeli music at their table, which caught the attention of many parents, and ...

Aaron Mibab 3: Hazamir

Image
Last year and this summer I had the privilege of participating in the Jewish teen choir named Hazamir. Hazamir is an international singing group, with its chapters primarily located in the United States and Israel. In order to participate in Hazamir, one must be able to sing but the ability to sight-read is not necessary. Its music and events have led me to a larger repertoire, increased understanding of music, and more friends. I am so excited to continue singing in Hazamir this year too! Despite Hazamir’s amazing offerings, the Boca Raton Chapter is too small and needs more numbers.  Hazamir has almost weekly meetings where participants practice and learn the provided music. These practices typically last 2 hours and are very casual and fun! Last year, I became very close to the other members of my chapter through the songs we learned. Additionally, during the break from learning, I would bond with the other participants with the occasional Ice-breaker and talking.  So...

Aaron Mibab 6: Recycling at Donna Klein

Image
     Ever since I was little, I remember my father taking out the recycling or doing activities relating to recycling. He would remove the tabs from coke cans and collect them; I remember he had a large bag or two where the metal tabs stayed. I also remember “helping” him take apart boxes so more could fit into the recycling bins. Recycling was important to him because it is taking care of the environment and world that his children will inherit. Due to his beliefs, I believe recycling is important to take care of the world that will one day be my responsibility.      Many of you reading this blog may think, “recycling at Donna Klein? Why would that be a topic? I have seen recycling bins in the school.” Well due to my participation in the Green club, I was informed that Donna Klein does not actually recycle.       Donna Klein is also proud of its earned certification as a FranklinCovey Leader In Me Lighthous...
