Here in HP, take one
Welcome to the first post of “Here in Highland Park, New Jersey”. Or the short name: “Here in HP”. I hope to bring you stories about Highland Park, what’s going on in the local Jewish community, ideas on how to build a productive website, how to get your family to eat healthy food, artsy photos and fun Flash tidbits and more. I will invite comments, and we will even have guests contributors!
One possible contributor may talk about any of these topics: art, nutrition, general health, yoga, cooking, keeping an environmentally sound home (natural cleaning, recycling, etc)… is that enough to keep you interested?
I would also like to add some short parsha thoughts…for those of you who are “Hebrew-challenged”, the parsha is the portion of the torah being read each week. For example, this week is Vayigash… in which Joseph finally reveals his identity.

Juggling Frogs,
This is so cool! I believe we have a mutual friend. A friend from Boston was here recently and mentioned your blog. I loved your Hanukkah photo.

Thanks for taking a look! See, you already left your mark and a link to your site. We'll find a way to promote some of your products.

I'm a near native HPer (from 1965-ca.1985) Do I know you? My wife forwarded this site to me. Hatzlacha on your site.

Mike,
Thanks for commenting as you pass through. We moved to Highland Park in 1993, after your time here. However, my husband is from the Jersey Shore, as are other HPers, and my brother used to visit in the 1980s when he was in college. My husband remembers when all his friends sat on one bench at Cong. Ohav Emeth.
