response (one word is fine) NEEDED within 24 hours!

[Matan Naamani]

Hi Friends,

Looking at the doodle there are 6 people who can do tonight at 10. but because that wasnt clear until 12:30 last night it just doesnt give maya and i the necessary time to finish everything by then. So, we want to say 4:30 EST on Friday; that is the second most popular time with 5 people available and that way ben and zoey can also make it (making it the most popular time).

But- even if you said you cant do it then (sarah, becca, elissa) or didnt reply to this poll (phia, alysse, eve) please see if you can slide things around and make it for an hour and a half then. Because we are making a decision we would want everyone to be excited about and go with, it doesnt make sense for just a handful of us to make the decision.

EVERYONE PLEASE RESPOND WITHIN 24 HOURS (that means by noon EST tomorrow) TO SAY IF YOU CAN MAKE IT AT 4:30 EST ON FRIDAY- EVEN IF YOU FILLED OUT THE DOODLE

But more importantly is this: We all need to feel like we are all partners in this. Maya and I took this on after also being the ones to arrange the previous hang out. I agreed to do this price estimate even though I had a paper due monday night, a decision about my summer plans due today, an exam today, and a fundng application due friday. I am NOT complaining about doing this, it is honestly a labor of love- just like we have all done for the past 4 years. And I know that people take this seriously, think about it, and identify strongly with this group. If we need each other's input,  support, or doodle-fill-outs we need to know that we can rely on each other for that, or at least for an explanation of why we wont be able to rely on it at certain points. Being in this process is a choice. that doesnt mean that being part of it now means you have to be in israel later (and I know this move is farther away for me and therefore probably less scary)- but it does mean that we are all are choosing to be in the process today. i am happy to do things like estimate prices, but to do that while i am already spending every day of the week and weekend on school work i need to know that i can ask for support and also that people will do basic things like fill out doodles. everyone please respond to this by noon tomorrow and please think about the discussion on the table (about having some time together at maapilim seminar or elsewhere) before the conversation and think about how others might also feel about it.

Lots of love,

Matan

PS- Maya and I have coordinated a lot of things on the past few emails about this sicha but this was just from me, so any reactions to any of what i wrote should be directed at me and not at Maya.

I think I can speak on behalf of everyone when I say how much I appreciate all the work you've put in coordinating this, Matan and Maya. You guys are awesome and I love you.

I'm driving home on Friday for Passover, so I'm not sure if I'll be back by then, but I will do my best.

I still can't make it. I'm in finals and I wont be finished by then. Sorry.

[Becca Kahn Bloch]

I'll be in a car driving to Georgia on Friday at 4:30. I can try and google hangout on my phone, but I think it might be super obnoxious. Maybe I'll hang and out just listen?

[Elissa Katz]

Friday at 4:30 works for me. Also I wanted to mention that I haven't bailed from these hangouts intentionally.. I'm in hell this semester and and it's nearly impossible for me to find the time. Sorry if I seem like a flake, my priorities right at this very moment are getting certified and most of the time it means not having a social life or not being able to think about anything besides 6th grade. Hope we can all talk on Friday.

I'm in Costa Rica! No can do. I will not be able to be at maap sem on the sunday of that weekend which means unless special arrangements are made for 58 I won't be there at all if that's what we decide to do. I'm sorry I can't be in the convo.
