Joshua Grynbaum Week 8: Discrete Deadpool

        This past weekend, a close friend of mine and a few others decided to watch the popular film Deadpool, starring Ryan Reynolds himself. We were looking for an action-packed movie that also appealed to our humor, and this movie was the best of both worlds. Deadpool is a “superhero” that doesn’t want to take on the responsibility of being a superhero, so instead, he walks around doing his own thing and following his own rules; living life like a badass. The reason he is considered a superhero is that he was tortured and experimented on, which ultimately led to him becoming immortal and having the ability to regenerate any damaged part of his body, while also destroying the look of his face. Ever since that event, he has had the urge to get revenge on “Francis” and make him pay for what he has done to him. This also indirectly ended the loving relationship Deadpool had with this lovely woman named Vanessa. Deadpool planned to marry Vanessa and even proposed to her, but because of the effects of the experiment, he was too self-conscious about approaching her and just decide to save her the trouble of having to see him every day… This does turn around eventually, but you’ll have to watch the movie to find out.

        My personal favorite part of the film is after coming out of a brutal fight, Deadpool needs some time to regenerate his lost arm, and in the process, he uses his “baby hand” to do everyday tasks. He also makes jokes about the “baby hand” and shares them with his “blind accomplice”. This accomplice is an elderly woman who shared many of the same characteristics as Deadpool which is shown throughout their relationship. These two seem perfect for each other, even though they have numerous differences, which is what makes them work so well. Another clever tactic that is used throughout the movie is the use of the fourth wall. There are many instances where Deadpool breaks the fourth wall, and even outright talks about breaking it, which really adds an additional layer to this film’s complexity and humor. I honestly enjoyed just about every aspect of this movie, and would really recommend it to anyone looking for a funny and action-packed experience. Overall, I would rate this movie a solid 8.5/10.

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...
