Why do Jews do business with Jews? Twin Cities (okay – Webster) – no one leaves (even if
we do)! We simply change synagogues
Degrees of separation . . . . . oh, you are ‘Josh and Sylvia’s’ daughter (or son)?
St. Paul vs Minneapolis vs Kansas vs St. Louis . . . we DO cross over
Herzl vs other Jewish camps – we DO (sometimes) cross over
Orthodox vs Conservative vs Reform – we DO (sometimes) mingle

Are all contacts created equally?Friendly
A: they will take your call immediately; if you have difficulty on the phone trying to articulate your objective, you can call them later and try again – and they will gladly take your second call.
C: they are either a ‘jerk’ or you can only call them once based on how you know them; your call to them has to be perfect!
B: if you do not grade theman A or C, give them a B.
Helpful A: they have the power to
help you achieve your objective or are well connected to the people that can (they are or were on boards, in executive roles, etc.).
C: they are not likely to be of any help at all (through their connections or personal world).
B: if you do not grade them an A or C, give them a B.
