EyeBuy Direct

 

EyeBuy Direct puts the selfie craze to good use. The eyewear website allows you to upload a photo of yourself (or take a selfie of yourself) and then "try on" every piece of eyewear (they offer perscription and nonprescription and everything from reading glasses to sunglasses) to see what pair best suits you.  Now, does what you virtually "tried on" look the same when it arrives in  the mail? You be the judge (judging from our photos, we are thinking YES!).

Destination Unknown

Having taken part in JCC Krakaw's Inaugural Ride for the Living, our interest in Auchwitz and the Holocaust has skyrocketed. While it can at times be difficult to watch and listen to the stories from war, it is empowering and important to share the stories of survival.  A new film, Destination Unknown, hits home and is incredibly moving. The documentary (which we were lucky enough to attend a special private screen of) was released theatrically this month and is a compilation of valuable and powerful testimonies that keep history alive. A must-see piece no matter your ethnicity, religion or race. A true display of hope, humanity and the importance of the past as we look to the future.

King Charles Unicycle Troupe

Possibly the most challenging sport I have come across to date, Unicycling combines strength, balance, finesse and so much more. After just one lesson with Kip Anthony Jones of The King Charles Troupe, it was very apparent that this is not "like riding a bike." The Troupe, which was founded in the South Bronx, has reigned everywhere from center circle at the Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus to the center courts of basketball arenas, and every street in between. In an exciting exhibition and event on November 11th at the Bronx Museum, their legacy and international success will be celebrated.
