This 5"x5" greeting card (blank inside) with envelope celebrates the Jewish circumcision rite of passage, with some humor. The text: "Judaism: It gets better." "Bris ever after," is a pen and ink illustration inspired by a conversation about my son's upcoming bris. I was experiencing my own anxiety -- loved the idea of the covenant; hated that it was public surgery -- but would my guests see past the uncomfortable part? Maybe, my friend said, you can give out fliers that say "Judaism: It gets better." It's the card I would have wanted to receive. Certainly, any Jewish new parents with some funny bones will appreciate it. Packaged carefully in a cellophane sleeve and USPS sent in an unbendable cardboard mailer. The price is for one. For a stationery set (any combination of 8 cards for $23), go to https://www.etsy.com/listing/85917853/stationery-set-of-8-custom-combination?ref=shop_home_active_2 and save a bundle. 5 percent of this card's proceeds go toward my favorite nonprofit: Thirty Million Words initiative. Its work is based on a world-famous 1995 study that discovered some children heard thirty million fewer words than other children by their 4th birthdays -- directly impacting their vocabulary, their preparation for school, their reading skills. This Chicago-based nonprofit shows parents -- babies' first teachers -- how to enrich their children's language, mostly by just talking to them. There are many organizations that strive to improve school readiness, but I haven't encountered any whose methods are as simple as they are profound: Every word you say builds your baby's brain. (And at funnyserious, we love words and brains.) To learn more about TMW, go to http://thirtymillionwords.org/
