Judaic eCards For "Busy" People

I wrote a version of this Blog Post for Blog Action Day 2008. It is as true today as it was then. 

If you know me, you know I am an advocate for eCards.  As we all know… “Life can change in the blink of an eye!”  We can’t always be there in person, but “with a few keystrokes” we CAN be there via eCards ~ whether next door or across the world!

Not Just Quick

eCards are not only quick, they are “environmentally friendly!”

The “original post” is below: “eCards and the Environment!”

My name is Roz Fruchtman.  I am a Bronx NY Digital Artist with a passion for digital art and design.  Not having formal training as an artist it took me a while to accept the title.

In my day…  artists were those who were born with sketch pads and paint brushes in their chubby little hands — Not literally of course!  However they had a flair for art and design from childhood and continued to develop it through formal education.  I had none of this, therefore, had a problem accepting the title early on.  I have since learned that artists come in many shapes and forms and I wear the title Digital Artist with dignity and pride!

Like most my life was changed  by the Internet.  I no recognize the person I used to be!  I now see a person who is creative, giving, caring and deeply concerned with making a difference and giving back to the community.  In my case giving back to the community is through my art.

To see where all of this is leading and how it relates to  Blog Action Day and Saying The Environment… Please Read On!

 After my experience or lack of finding Judaic images on the web, I learned I could create my own.  Like most I put them up free.  People liked them and wanted to use them.  Shocked because I did not know I had this skill, I was more than a little flattered and encouraged to do more.

Six years ago I had a dream to provide a better way for the online Jewish Community and those having a need for Judaic-Themed Greetings to communicate.  I envisioned what is now known as my Judaic eCard Club:

Say It With eCards / http://www.SayItWithEcards.com

Initially it never occurred to me that besides the speed with which the eCards are delivered and the time and money saved that this action could positively impact on the environment at large.  However after much thought I realized that Electronic Greeting Cards — known fondly as eCards — are a great tool to help the environment prosper.

eCards:

• Eliminate the need to cut down trees. Paper is not needed for electronic eCards except when printed to keep for sentimental reasons.  (At the cost of paper greetings, we all hope our cards will be kept around for awhile, however, that is not the case most of the time unfortunately.)
• Eliminate the paper of the greeting carditself as eCards are electronic and the only time they are printed is when the recipient wants to save them as a momento.
• Eliminate the paper of the evenlope.  Everything except post cards are sent in paper envelopes.  Even if the paper greeting card is kept, the envelope is more often than not thrown out in the trash.
• Elimnate the paper of the stamp.  No stamps would be used as the eCards are sent electronically.
• Elminate the fumes from the gasoline used when the sender travels to the store or mall to purchase their greeting cards

Won’t you join Blog Action Day and make a difference!  Share your thoughts on the environment and how you can make a difference.  You are no doubt doing something now with little or no effort!

L’Shana Tova
~ Happy New Year to You and Yours!

It IS NEVER too late or too early!
(With eCards you are ALWAYS on time!)

DID YOU KNOW…

I’ve been asked a number of times:  “When is the proper time to send my Rosh Hashanah eCards?”

Being it is September, you can begin sending your Rosh Hashanah 5771 eCards TODAY! 

IMPORTANT NOTE: Depending on whether your recipients are religious and may not be online during the Jewish High Holidays you can begin sending your Rosh Hashanah eCards early so that you can be sure they will be received and picked up BEFORE the holiday begins.

As well… You can send your Rosh Hashanah eCards (aka Jewish New Year eCards) for 10 days, more specifically up until Yom Kippur which is 10 days after Rosh Hashanah begins.

No need for the “woulda coulda shoulda’s here!”
(With eCards it is NEVER too late!)

SEND Your Rosh Hashanah eCards… NOW!!!

Rosh Hashanah 5771, the Jewish New Year begins at Sundown on Wednesday September 8, 2010.

Rosh Hashanah is the holiest time of the Jewish Faith and also the biggest eCards and Greeting Cards sending time. 

Say It With eCards offers the largest selection of Rosh Hashanah eCards on the web. 

In addition… Each year the Rosh Hashanah eCards are updated with the “current Jewish New Year’s date!”  In September 2010 we will be celebrating the Jewish New Year 5771.

SPECIAL NOTE ~ Those of you who know me know that I am a bit untraditional in my designing.  Thus, in addition to the Traditional Rosh Hashanah eCards offered at the Say It With eCards website you will find designs:

• in remembrance of those lost on 911
• in support of our Troops — The Patriotic Collection, and
• in acknowledgement of those in some way touched by Breast Cancer — The Pink Ribbon Collection

For Your Convenience

Saturday, June 19, 2010 (Erev Father’s Day)

Dear Say It With eCards Members:

First let me apologize, I was scheduled to send this earlier today, but I’ve been experiencing technical issues from the time I arrived at the computer – so much so, it robbed me of the beautiful day outside, BUT… It’s all good… I THINK after an entire day I’ve solved the problem. It was quite a challenge, with much learned — It was email related…

I hope you enjoyed your Shabbos and that is was restful, joyous and filled with abundant love — even if it was your own.  Love is where it all begins… especially our own!

FATHER’S DAY

It’s hard to believe Father’s Day is here again.<sigh>  It was the last time I saw my own father alive — on Father’s Day 1989! It seems like just yesterday.  He died two weeks later on the way back from a Bermuda Cruise.

On a happier note… Say It With eCards offers an abundant collection of Judaic Father’s Day eCards in many flavors — For sure, something for everyone! (English and Hebrew)

For your sending convenience here are the direct links to
all the Father’s Day eCards.

I try to add NON-Jewish designs as a courtesy for Say It With eCards member’s so they do not have to go elsewhere when they need a special card. This is ONLY done for those holidays where I can design NON-Judaic tastefully. Father’s Day is one of these holidays.
