Tips to Help You Reach 75
If you stuck for new ideas, here are 5 tips that will help you reach 75 opinions. These ideas are things that worked for Geri and may help you reach the max of 75.
- Bunch ideas together. If you think of a bank that you use, think about all the banks that you use at the same time. You may have multiple banks for different services such as checking, savings, CDs, mortgage payments, or car payments. While you’re thinking about money, expand into brokerage companies that hold your IRAs, 401ks, annuities, and perhaps trust funds. You could follow the same process for restaurants, appliances and electronic gadgets that you have in your home or office.
- Plan ahead. My quota for getting to 75 pieces of feedback was to complete 10 items per day. When I finished entering the first 10, I looked around for the next 10 and wrote them in a spreadsheet. That way, when I sat down to give my feedback next, I was able to move quickly down the list.
- Categories. If you start to run out of ideas, look through the categories and subcategories. Just reading through may jog your memory of items that you have experience with. Remember that the experience needs to be within the last 6 months to count.
- Alphabetic Search. If you still need more ideas, just enter the letter “A” in the search box. All the products and services that begin with A will list and keep going. You may see something in that list that you have experience with that you hadn’t thought of.
- Multiple Entries. Be aware that some items have multiple entries. For example, there is Walmart, Walmart Grocery and Walmart Pharmacy. Another example of multiple entries is Amazon, Amazon Prime and Amazon Kindle.

Archive
Bet Aviv Archives Policy
Purpose:
The purpose of the Bet Aviv digital archives’ is to capture and preserve Bet Aviv’s unique history through a series of photographs, interviews, artifacts, meeting minutes, newsletters and other documents. It is the hope of our congregation that providing a key to our Jewish past will promote and embellish our connection with those who came before us, encourage pride in who we are today, and serve as a road map for future generations.
Archive Access:
Because of the confidential nature of some of the personal and financial sections of the archival records, access to the Bet Aviv digital archives will be only granted, upon request, to Bet Aviv congregants in good standing as well as to scholars and researchers of Jewish history, upon request, and at the discretion of the archival chair or committee.
The Bet Aviv digital archives can be accessed at betaviv.org through the About Us dropdown menu. The link to the Archives is protected by a username and password. Click here for a link to the Quick Start Guide.

Our Rabbi
Rabbi Linda Joseph was born in Melbourne, Australia. “Discovered” by a professor at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion who recognized the wide ranging Jewish community work she had undertaken- from working in major Jewish organizations, counseling, founding study groups and Chavurot, leading services and teaching- she was convinced to apply to rabbinic school. Rabbi Linda Joseph was ordained at HUC-JIR in Cincinnati in 1994 and continued her studies in Jewish Education at HUC-JIR in Los Angeles where she graduated with another Master’s Degree in 1995. She served student pulpits in DeKalb, IL, and Bristol, TN, and led alternative High Holy Day services at Congregation Sherith Israel in San Francisco, CA, and served as an educational intern at Temple Ahavath Shalom in Northridge, CA.
Since ordination, Rabbi Linda Joseph, as a World Union for Progressive Judaism-sponsored student, served as a rabbi at (what is now known as) Etz Chayim Progressive Synagogue and for the Victorian Union for Progressive Judaism in her country of birth, Australia. Back in the United States, she found a home in the small community of the Jewish Congregation of Kinnelon in NJ and then became the Associate Rabbi at Temple Beth El of Boca Raton, FL. Following her time in congregations, she went to work in the Southeast Regional Office of the Union for Reform Judaism as the Senior Assistant Regional Director and then Regional Director, where she travelled and worked with Tree of Life Congregation in Columbia, SC, along with all the other Reform Jewish congregations in the Southeast United States. Following the restructure of the URJ, Rabbi Linda Joseph served as a Lay Leader Liaison with the URJ leadership, but, ultimately, decided to re-enter congregational life. She spent five years as the solo rabbi at Beth Chaverim Reform Congregation in Ashburn, VA, served as the interim rabbi for the Tree of Life Congregation in Columbia, SC and, most recently was the rabbi for Har Sinai in Baltimore. Rabbi Joseph joined Bet Aviv on July 1, 2019.
Rabbi Linda Joseph describes herself as loving God, the Jewish people and Jewish traditions, creativity and texts. She enjoys teaching, prayer, community and connection. Storytelling, making art, listening to music, writing, reading and cooking are some of her passions.
We are so proud to welcome Rabbi Linda Joseph to Bet Aviv.
