Holy Blossom Temple Bulletin September 2008 | Av/Elul 5768 / Tishrei 5769
The Soul of (Our) People | In Perspective by Rabbi John Moscowitz
From the time we are very young, we are taught to measure things: how tall we are and how much we weigh, how good our grades are and how many friends we have. And it goes on — all the way to maturity when we still measure, now about different things. We count, we calculate, we assess — about virtually everything (and maybe everyone). And so that was the discussion — the calculus, really — this July when Israel and Hezbollah entered into an apparently ridiculously one-sided exchange (one more time, but who's counting?). Two
lonely black coffins bearing the remains of Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev, coming south from Lebanon while several hundred coffins, along with a few live terrorists (murderers, really), heading north toward cheering Hezbollah crowds. A terrible strategic mistake, I calculated. Not only would this deal raise the price for hostage Gilad Shalit (who hopefully remains alive); not only would Hezbollah and Hamas have more incentive to kidnap more IDF soldiers — but the whole scene was so terribly demoralizing to watch. Once again Israel trades hundreds, most with blood on their hands, for but a handful of Israeli
soldiers defending the nation. Soon, though, I was persuaded of my mistaken calculus by Daniel Gordis, who wrote from Jerusalem: "The challenge facing Israel isn't to win the war against the Palestinians — because it cannot be won. Neither is the challenge to move toward peace — because peace cannot be had, at least in the foreseeable future. No — the challenge facing Israel is to learn how to live in perpetual, neverending war and in the face of that, to flourish and to be a country that our kids still want to defend. And that is what we did this week." For Gordis, the exchange was "a mistake well worth making." continued on page 5
Telling the Zionist Story Anew: Israel Explains Itself to the World When much of the world de-legitimizes Zionism and the State of Israel — now more than ever — Jews and friends are required to tell the story of the Jewish State; to tell of its history and values; to tell of the dignity Zionism imbued in the Jewish People; to tell of the progressive nature of the State of Israel and the Zionist movement that brought everything about. We will be fortunate to host the following prominent figures who will tell the Zionist story each in his own way. All lectures will take place on Wednesdays at 8 p.m.

High Holy Days 2008/5769 Selichot — Need We Repent for Sins of Omission? Rabbi Donald Splansky, Rabbi Emeritus Temple Beth Am, Framingham, MA. Sat. Sept. 20, 2008, at 9 p.m. (Reception and Service to follow) Our popular culture divides our sins into "sins of commission" and "sins of omission." Does our Judaism make a similar distinction? If so, do our prayers on the High Holy Days reflect both types of sins? If not, do we feel guilty anyway about our sins of omission (even if there may be an infinite number of them)?

Achieving our fundraising goal by Alison Schwartz, Chair, Annual Contribution Campaign
The Annual Contribution Campaign (ACC) is moving closer to our fundraising goal. To date, we have raised more than $500,000, an increase of more than 25 per cent compared to this time last year. Many members have shown they understand what it takes to ensure that the rich array of services and support Holy Blossom Temple offers is there for all of us. For those members who have not had the opportunity to make a gift to the ACC, it is not too late to help us achieve our goal for this year. Our membership dues structure alone does not bring in the revenue needed to balance our operating budget. 4

Please consider making a gift in any amount — to support our programming and Worship Services, and to keep our synagogue home open to all, regardless of means. Donations of any amount are gratefully appreciated and will be acknowledged in the Bulletin, where I hope
to be able to announce that, with your help, we have surpassed our goal for the year. Those donating $500 or more will be recognized on the ACC donor wall, located in the Sanctuary lobby. All donations are eligible for a tax receipt. email@example.com

Rosh Hashanah cards To celebrate the spirit of the New Year and new beginnings, we are again offering cards for Rosh Hashanah. We will print your personalized message and send a card for a minimum donation of $20, ensuring it is mailed in time for the High Holy Days. If you order six or more cards, the price is $15 per card. If you prefer to write and mail your own cards, a package of 10 is available for $100. All donations are eligible for a tax receipt. To ensure that your cards will be received in time for the High Holy Days, please contact Janice Feuer (ext. 265), at the Temple, or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com, no later than Mon. Sept. 22, 2008. Sending tribute cards is one of many ways to support our Holy Blossom Temple community. Please see the brochure enclosed with this issue of the Bulletin for more information on how you can support our Temple. "Rosh Hashanah, as the start of a new year, is a time in which we think of those important to us — family, friends and associates. Letting people know that we are thinking of them by sending warm wishes is an important part of our celebration. In turn, we are also the recipients of these greetings — what a treat. Knowing that Holy Blossom also benefits makes it all the more meaningful." — Lesley & Ronald Miller
L'shanah Tovah
continued from page 1 The Soul of (Our) People
Gordis explains that Israel must calculate by different terms: that is to say, Israel must be a country possessed of a certain kind of soul, which means its soldiers and all citizens know they defend a country whose nature makes the larger public purpose of the nation inspiring for all. Israeli soldiers are required to know that when they defend the country, the country will defend them — come what may. With that in mind, two invitations: the first to come together for our Gerald Schwartz/Heather Reisman Fall 2008 Lecture Series: Telling the Zionist Story Anew. With the help of four outstanding analysts, each with a deep soul (see cover for details), let us explore and honour Israel's soul together.
The second invitation is hardly necessary, because each of us is inexorably drawn to the synagogue come the Tishrei Holy days: to delve into our own souls not to count and calculate, but rather to know of the profound and all too brief nature of life as God has bequeathed it, and as we must live it. To know this and to be driven, therefore, more by the desire to enrich and deepen our souls than to measure and calculate while life goes by. email@example.com
Holy Blossom Temple clergy, Foundation Board of Directors and staff wish all our congregants a year of health, happiness, prosperity and peace. May it be a year of learning, of Worship, of celebration and of forging new bonds with our Temple community, the greater community and Israel. L'shanah tovah t'kateivu.

Ongoing learning and specialized classes Shabbat Torah Study: Speaking with God, Learning from Heschel and Soloveitchik
Rabbi John Moscowitz Saturdays at 9 a.m., ongoing Prayer is as old as the human condition. From the very beginning, human beings needed to be assured, to give thanks, to enquire, to yearn, to petition. We will explore the world of Jewish prayer — what the liturgy says and means, and how the great thinkers of our time (Abraham Joshua Heschel and Joseph S oloveitchik among others) have explained Jewish prayer. All are welcome regardless of background. Learning Liturgy through Singing Jewish Music
Cantor Benjamin Z. Maissner Sundays at 10 a.m., ongoing Our Holy Blossom Temple Singers learn the joy of liturgy during rehearsals with Cantor Benjamin Z. Maissner, and contribute greatly to the musical life of the Temple. New participants are always welcome. For more details, please call Mari Lynn Rusack (ext. 224), at the Temple.

Rabbi Dow Marmur Thursdays at 7.30 p.m. Oct. 2, 9*,16, 23, 2008 Many people believe that either redemption or Armageddon is at hand. In the Jewish world, the slogan "Moshiach Now" is one of the manifestations of this naive and unwarranted, yet highly popular, trend. What does it all mean for liberal Jews in the context of the 21st century? * On Oct. 9 (Yom Kippur), the class will meet at 1.30 p.m.
The New Climate — Climate Change, Social Justice and the Role of Jewish Organizations Cara Clairman Sun.

Her presentation is based on the slide deck developed (and updated) by Gore, some of which was originally presented in the 2005 Academy Award‑winning movie An Inconvenient Truth. She will discuss the latest information on climate change, the current and future impact of these changes on the already impoverished and disenfranchised, and what the Jewish community can do.

Hershell Ezrin, Founding CEO, Canadian Council for Israel and Jewish Advocacy, and Advocacy Agent, United Israel Appeal Federations Canada Wednesdays at 7.30 p.m. Oct. 15 and 22, 2008 Continuing on from the Oct. 9 Yom Kippur talk, Hershell Ezrin will discuss the impact that the U.S. elections will have on Israel and Middle Eastern diplomacy, and how the elections and issues affect the Jews and Canadians. The Yiddish Novel
Rabbi Edward Goldfarb Wednesdays at 11 a.m., starting Wed. Oct. 22, 2008 We will return to Chaim Grade by way of his semi-autobiographical Der Mame's Shabbosim, one of his last books, which depicts Jewish life in Vilna in the early years of the last century. Beginners' Hebrew

A Sharp Intake of Breath by John Miller, the 2008 winner of the Canadian Jewish Book Awards for Fiction. We will discuss: Can we still categorize Jewish writing as 'immigrant literature?'

Oct. 29, 2008, at 7.30 p.m. Almost 70 years ago, Herschel Grynszpan, a 17-year-old Jewish youth living in Paris, learned the fate of his parents, who were deported from Nazi Germany. In response, Grynszpan assassinated Ernst vom Rath, the third secretary of the German Embassy in Paris. This killing gave the Nazis the pretext for Kristallnacht, the assault on Jewish property and individuals across Germany on Nov. 9 and 10, 1938.
Rabbi John Moscowitz Thursdays at 7.30 p.m. Oct. 30 to Nov. 27, 2008 Reform Judaism may be as much a strategy to deal with the modern ethos as it is an expression and system of Judaism.

Musically speaking | Cantor's Notes by Cantor Benjamin Z. Maissner
Once again, we find ourselves standing in awe after another liturgical cycle and ready to welcome our High Holy Day season. As I start preparing for the intense rehearsal schedule awaiting us, I am moved by the haunting melodies that embrace our consciousness. As the Days of Awe draw near, I find myself surrounded by oceanic powers, a sea of melodic sequences that will soon fill the sacred space of our synagogue.
As on e p e op l e
I have lived through such moments with you, my dear congregants, for almost three decades, and I know the power and impact of those transcendental liturgical moments when we stand together as one people. Each and every one of us, in our own way, is anticipating such a moment during the High Holy Day season. Like greeting an old friend, we all await experiencing the majesty of an "Avinu Malkeinu" moment,
a nostalgic phrase of the ancient Kol Nidre, or the joy and ecstasy of the full Kaddish at the end of Yom Kippur. r a i s e y our v o i c e s
Please indulge yourselves and enjoy these sweet moments that bring us together. Sing your hearts out and raise your voices in thanksgiving and prayer for a good, healthy New Year. email@example.com

Israel next summer | Our Israel by Jeff Denaburg, Co-Chair, Israel Committee
For those thinking ahead to next year's travel, here are two suggestions for visiting Israel that offer exciting opportunities for education and a chance to meet Israelis and tour compelling and unique sites. ARZA Canada
A trip to Israel with ARZA Canada (The Zionist voice for the Canadian Reform Movement) goes well beyond sightseeing. Last June, several Holy Blossom Temple members joined other Reform Jews in a fascinating program that included: • A visit to a high-tech training program for Ethiopian Israelis, which helps bright but disadvantaged Ethiopians prepare for careers in computer technology.
• Meeting with Bnei Darfur refugees from Darfur who risked their lives to reach Israel and are now building new futures. • Dinner with Rabbi Gilad Kariv, of the I srael Religious Action Center, who is at the forefront of legal battles to recognize nonHaredi conversions performed in Israel. • A tour of the Tzrifin Army Base, including speaking with soldiers on the role of Judaism and Zionism in the Israeli army service. • Tour of the Knesset and meeting with Member of the Knesset Michael Melchior. • Talk with Rabbi Levy Lauer, head of Israel's task force on human trafficking. • Discussion about current events with wellknown author Hirsh Goodman.

(for 20 and 30 somethings)
Shabbat Fusion Fridays at 6.30 p.m., beginning Oct. 24, 2008 Once a month, approximately 75 young adults — single and attached, members and non-members — gather to experience a Shabbat evening of prayer, song and study like no other. Against the backdrop of our formal Sanctuary, intimacy is created by sitting informally in a circle around the lower bimah. The five musicians bring tribal rhythms from the Ugandan Jewish community, joyful niggunim from the Chassidic influence of Shlomo Carlebach, and riffs of New Orleans jazz and retro-funk. Everything old is new again with this eclectic mix of sounds that gets the crowd up and dancing to welcome in the Shabbat bride with the words of Lecha Dodi. Instead of a sermon, the teachings are sprinkled throughout the Service, which highlight the themes and logic of the prayer book. Following the Service, a kiddush of good Israeli wine and sushi invites people to linger for hours. All 20 and 30 somethings are welcome.
A fall weekend at the cottage Rabbi Karen Thomashow, Mark Weinstock and Donna Habsha Fri. Oct. 3 to Sun. Oct. 5, 2008 All 20 and 30 somethings are invited to spend the weekend of Shabbat Shuvah together. Activities will include: water and field sports, hiking, creative Shabbat worship, study programs, fantastic food, music, dancing and dynamic programming. Afternoon workshops will infuse the mind and the spirit. Evening programs will encourage socializing, snacking and music. Participants will refresh and renew themselves for the New Year. Registration required. Applications are available online until Fri. Sept. 26, 2008.
To make a contribution to nurture the next generation, please call Janice Feuer (ext. 265), at the Foundation office. For more details on Generation programs or to register, please e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com. 12

As those congregants in their 20s and 30s have always been of particular interest to Rabbi Splansky, the new Generation Fund will help ensure that the Temple maintains the resources required to translate the pillars of Jewish life — Torah, Avodah and Gemilut Chasadim — into meaningful experiences for Jews in their 20s and 30s.

Last June, in honour of Rabbi Yael Splansky's 10th anniversary at Holy Blossom Temple, we created a special fund available to Temple members who want to pay tribute to her.

Women's Study Retreat: Can We Speak about God in Female Terms? Rabbi Karen Thomashow Fri. Oct. 31 to Sun. Nov. 2, 2008 Horseshoe Resort, Barrie As early as the wisdom literature of the Bible itself, we find references to God that are female in character. What is the history of textual reference to the Shekhina, sometimes known as the feminine indwelling of God? We will explore this, as well as step outside of the context of literature, and consider the implications of gendered 'God language' in the context of prayer. Cost: $275 for Sisterhood members; $300 for non-members. For more details and to register, please call Elana Fehler (ext. 221), at the Temple.

Transgressions can be multi-faceted | The Last Word by Rabbi Karen Thomashow
Secular superstition suggests that when one offers a birthday wish over cake and candles, it is best to keep that wish to oneself for fear that sharing the wish aloud will render it void. It would appear, then, that secular sensibilities were not at work last month when a yeshiva student in Jerusalem swiped American presidential hopeful Barack Obama's prayer paper from the Western Wall to scan and disseminate it over the Internet. Jewish sensibilities were not at play either, of course. Shmuel Rabinovitz, rabbinic overseer of the Western Wall, said, "The notes placed between the stones of the Western Wall are between a person and his Maker. It [this incident] damages the Western Wall and damages the personal,
deep part of every one of us that we keep to ourselves." Indeed, what may be of foremost concern with regard to this incident is the breach of privacy involved. While the person who plucked the note from the wall and exposed its contents to the media was approached to apologize, that was not the sum total of the reprimand. The Israeli Attorney General was urged to order the police to open a criminal investigation against the Israeli newspaper editor who granted publication of the note. This not only implies guilt by association, it reminds us that transgressions are multi-faceted and nuanced. Their implications are far-reaching. Our tradition's Yom Kippur liturgy of confession comprises two basic parts: Ashamnu, the brief list of general
transgressions; and Al Chet, the longer list of more specific transgressions. The vast majority of the missteps named are related to speech: tattling, swearing falsely and slander. One reason for the prevalence of speechrelated confessions is that there is a corresponding prevalence of speechrelated transgressions. A second reason for this prevalence, however, is the rabbinic teaching that 'lashon hara,' or ill speech of any kind, permeates all areas of deed or transgression — directly or indirectly. I believe a reminder of the sensitive relationship between one misdeed and another in this season of repentance can strengthen the case for us all to ask for forgiveness from as many as possible. L'Shanah Tovah. firstname.lastname@example.com

Religion How The Virgin Mary Had Child But Remained
There is that old clich'e about "'how God moves in unfathomable ways'". This post is probably an pressing out of this and how the Concept answers our questions in these unfathomable ways.
The story is about a staff, Terry, who runs a hypnotherapy and meditation centre in the UK. He was in a talk about with a group of Roman Catholics and asked them about the Virgin Mary and how she could convene believably been a virgin. Their put right was overpower the barricade that it was a surprise from God.
Terry couldn't abide the put right so he asked the Concept about this in one of his meditation sessions. He did grab an put right - and in a unfathomable way.
The subsequent is how he found, what to him, was the put right to how Mary was a Virgin and had a child. It may not be lavish compound Christians would lavish to hitch but it's continuously up to group as to what they think - and we have to adoration everyone's beliefs.
Lots of days once meditating the Virgin have reservations he met up with a friend who repeatedly visits his centre. The staff, I'll star him Dave, was jittery about an characteristic familiarity his next of kin had undergone the former afternoon.
His next of kin had focused to convene an afternoon drop off on her bed. She swears, Dave claims, that she was large perceptive when she actually felt herself dispose of her put together, 'her inner self cursory her physical put together.'
She stayed in the room for a few moments, imprint no amazement other than perplexity, as she looked down on what appeared to be her aged put together speciousness on the bed. She as a result floated beside the curb and up arrived space, which she debate of as travelling beside time.
Dave continued, "Afterward she met my brother!"
At this hand over he looked to be very ashamed, and believed that his next of kin is as well as very ashamed about what had happened next: his next of kin and his brother finished love. Afterwards she returned from the astral world to her bedroom and felt herself as well as return to her put together. She is set that she had not been to drop off and dreamt the whole familiarity.
Terry says this was the put right to his have reservations about the Virgin Mary and was the Universe's way of explaining how the virgin commencement came about. In his words:
"The Virgin Mary departed her physical put together, went to the Lunar Planes (Heaven) and conceived a child, believably with no society of proceed so on her return, or debate it was a dream, or elected to commentary no one about it."
Terry adds, "Of course mechanically she was therefore not a virgin, but in this man's world of ours she maximum certainly was."
As a take in to this story, Dave asked his brother about what had happened and he says he has no knowledge of the pile into. He joked that he regretted that he had not had the same familiarity.
As a pick up take in Terry concludes by saying, "Anomalous, gamble belongings come about when you work altitude the enchanting."
Dream up of this story what you impulse - I feature you could put all sorts of counterpart interpretations on it!

So where is the piano and the big bass drum? And the clashing of cymbals. I need some running frantic notes, some lines of panic and depseration. Cause your infatuation demands satisfaction. I'm trying my best. I won't quit. Im trying not to disappoint. Again and again. Here we go just to balance you out. I'm on fire, and this is about how our song came on and we sang along. So sing along. The pictures are all falling down. The ground started shaking without you around. So where are you? I'm so lost. I'm running through town screaming curses and you cleared out all the poison

One of the things me and my wife April want to do and with things finally starting to develop the possibility of travelling around Asia is becoming more possible is to grab some time in other countries to experience the food and techniques of cooking. Even in the UK moving region to region throws up some interesting tastes and flavours but having the opportunity to go and compare real Asian cooking at source is something most people don't get the opportunity to do. If your as passionate about food as we are you will understand the desire. I was recently contacted by a company who runs culinary tours in Asia and one of the most interesting to me seemed to be Bali combining several locations in one trip appeals to me as it allows tasting and touring at the same time. But more importantly having a tour operator already specializing in such tours does make things a bit easier to know where to go. As finding things around Cebu can take more time that it should never mind only being able to spend a short period of time in one area as you will want to maximize the time you have there.
Bali is also a location several of my friends in the UK go to every year, they have travelled many places around the world but call Bali the only place they want to go these days as it offers everything they want for their annual holidays without any issues. The culinary tour I am talking about though is something a little different as my friends are just looking to escape the rat race for 2 weeks.
Day 1. The culinary tour of Bali offers a mix of cultural and gastronomical experiences allowing you to get the best of both. As soon as you arrive in Bali you will find your taken from the airport for a spa session to help unwind after the flight as well as entertained by traditional dancers. Your first meal of the of trip will consist of the islands famous crispy fried duck which has been marinated in Indonesian herbs and spices for 36 hours giving it an amazing taste and flavour.
Day 2. After that your heading off the beaten track away from the tourist trappings and into the real life Bali way of life. You will visit several villages the first being Mas where you will spend time with an astrologer, do some local woodcraft with a carpenter and get a blessing from the priest. You will then be introduced to Balinese food at a local cookery school and the opportunity to taste what you learned and made. Later in the day heading off to Klungkung to visit the former Royal Courts of Justice known as Kerta Gosa and finishing your day at Besakih. Here resides Bali's highest volcano Mt Agung after taking in the sights a return to Ubud to dine at Mozaic before heading back to your hotel for a good nights rest.
Day 3.
Discovering the art trail your first stop will be at Bali's cultural center at Ubod. Before heading on to Blanco Renaissance Museum before continuing your tour with a visit to ARMA Museum. After a busy morning you will then dine in Indus restaurant which has amazing views over Tjampuhan river valley to take in the ambience of Bali. After lunch a trip into the city to see the best art galleries before going to Taman Ayun temple near Mengwi to take in some of the local history. After another busy day evening meals will be served back at the hotel which has moved to one in Umabian to continue the trail.
Day 4.
After breakfast you will then be taken to Taman Sari Buwana to spend half the day learning how to harvest rice with the local farmers and visit a local school. In the afternoon spend a bit of time with the locals and learn about they're culture and what they get up to. After that a trip to the west coast to visit Tanah Lot Bali's most famous temple, after another busy day reaching Seminyak for a 3 course meal spending the night at Canggu or Kerobokan.
Day 5.
An early wake up call to enjoy breakfast is shortly followed by your culinary treat a local authentic cookery class. You should decide on the dishes you want to make before heading to the local market to find your ingredients. The food you will be making is made in a traditional kitchen with steamers using wood for cooking on terracotta stoves. In the afternoon you will get to spend a bit of time doing things you want to at your leisure allowing exploration of Seminyak with a guide and driver at your disposal. In the evening dinner will be served at Gado-Gado and an overnight stay will be in Canggu/Seminyak.
Day 6.
Is more of a simple affair as it will be breakfast at the hotel before doing things you wanted to do such as last minute souviners before heading on to Denpasar Airport for your departure flight.
Reading through the itinary myself can see many things I want to try and experience although already seeing what is covered I can sense longer would be needed to really take in life in Bali and more importantly the food! At the same time I am sure they already have other tours that can tag onto this one for a fortnight. But one thing is for sure I am glad there is cookery tourism as I know a break with me and my wife April would love this and no doubt many others who love time in the kitchen or food in their stomach.

Castello di Ama Gran Selezione Bellavista 2013
Sangiovese and Malvasia Nero. Black raspberry, spice, soft tannins, creamy. So long.
JS94: "A fine red with blueberry, lemon and mineral character. Medium body, fine tannins and a fresh and very clean finish. Linear and focused. Structured. Better in a year or two but stylish now." - James Suckling
VM94+: "Black cherry, plum, graphite, smoke, dried Mediterranean and crushed rocks are front and center in the 2013 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto Bellavista. Searing tannins give the 2013 much of its energy and vibrancy. A dark, brooding yet austere, mid-weight wine in the best of the Bellavista tradition, the 2013 is going to need at least a few years to come into its own. Today, the 2013 Bellavista is especially forbidding. It won't be ready to drink for a good handful of years, and even that may be optimistic." -Antonio Galloni

Somehow, we made it to the 16th week of the school year already. On the bright side, there's only half of the school year left. However, the stress of exams already starts to taunt us. Some of us may have started to schedule study times into our lives, while others prefer to sit back, relax, and watch Netflix until the day before exams. Either way, if you aim to pass an exam, you're most likely going to study. Here are what I think are helpful tips for studying. Just follow the "GOLD" for your path to success for exams!
- Gather- Take out all your worksheets, notes, and chapter study guides, and go through what you'll need to help you study. Typically notes and chapter guides are your best friends for final exam prep. If your teacher has a semester study guide, then that's even better! Once you study, worksheets are a good way to test your knowledge.
- Organize- Sorting out which information you need to review, and which information you understand is very important before you actually study. By doing this, you're not wasting time studying topics you understand. You can use the time you save to study more of what you don't know. Also, organize what you will be studying, and when. This helps to establish goals for each day, so you won't be staring at the computer screen for thirty minutes before you start doing anything.
- Learn- This is the most important step of the process. If you want to do your best on exams, learning is the key. Don't opt for memorization and acronyms (although the one in this article will help you). Memorizing facts is a quicker way to study, but you won't retain information as well as if you actually understand the logic behind something. If you can go through the reasoning behind something, then that understanding will come more naturally than just memorizing it.
- Discuss- Schedule a study date with your friends. According to psychotactics.com, "Learners retain 90% of what they learn when they teach someone else/use immediately." So as you teach your friends things that they don't understand, you will be learning as well. Also, studying with friends can make this tedious chore a little more fun.
Whether you'll be clicking play on Netflix or going back to cramming after reading this, I'm sure that these helpful tips can kickstart you to effectively study for exams. So, follow the "GOLD" and start hitting the books!
