I Need (to be) A Hero

In the twenty-sixth episode of The JCast Journey, host Darone Ruskay talks about something that was delivered by a uniformed representative of the Federal government today. Yes, the mailman dropped off a piece of mail from The Jewish Federations of North America, that recognized his participation in The Jewish Community Heroes program.

Darone then discusses what it is about projects like this one, and the many lists that are made of the movers and shakers in the Jewish community that everyone finds so fascinating. Why is it that we all think that the lists are silly, yet have so many opinions about who IS and who IS NOT included on the list (and especially, why we are not included.)

As this weeks homework, Darone pleads with you, his audience to visit JCastNetwork.org/iTunes to write a review on any and all of the JCast Network shows that you listen to and enjoy. In addition to number of subscribers, reviews are very important in determining which shows iTunes will promote. Please review our shows.

The opening and closing music in this weeks episode is Holding Out For A Hero by Bonnie Tyler.
