Apple TV+'s For All Mankind:

For All Mankind - Rotten Tomatoes

The United States won the space race to the moon, right? Wrong! In Apple TV+'s For All Mankind, the United States lost the race to the moon. So what happens now? Well, NASA's budget is overhauled, space becomes the nation's top priority, and with consistency, the United States and the Soviet Union still hate each other. Over the course of three seasons, and still ongoing, Apple takes viewers through what they believe would be the diverging path if the United States lost to the moon. To do this divergent part of history, each season is sped up between one and two decades. Although I will be slightly spoiling the show, without revealing specifics, here was how the seasons were broken down. In season one, the primary focus over the course of the episodes was on the rescue of the Apollo 24 mission, with a significant end-of-season post-credits scene of a colony being flown to the moon. The second season fast forwards to a period of time in which their are moon colonies being operated by both the United States and the Soviet Union, and explores some conflicts that arise with the moon colonization. The most recent third season moved even further in time (roughly two decades), to where now NASA, the Soviet Space Agency, and a new private venture are all competing to step foot on Mars. For those who enjoy historical and science fiction, this show covers all areas of being historically logical, with event not playing out in some new and dramatic fasion, and not being overly far fetched with the science. Have you ever though about watching this show, or have you seen it already and had some thoughts on it?

    My dad loves that show, but I have only seen bits and pieces of it. Maybe I should start watching it on my own.

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...
