[Avodah] This is your chance to join a musser vaad of your peers.

[Yosef Skolnick]

Dear Areivim and Avodah members,

We would like to invite you to join a new endeavor - we are calling for
members to join a new AishDas e-Vaad.

For over a year, we have been running an AishDas e-Va'ad with tremendous
success. The AishDas model for an e-Vaad  is a bi-monthly telephone
conference call . The format which we found most successful is based on
Sefer Alei Shur from R' Shlomo Wolbe. The outline of each Vaad generally
follows this format: Members first report on their progress working on the
"homework" from the previous Vaad,  then a new Vaad  in Alei Shur is
presented by the (rotating) leader for that evening, and then a new task is
presented for the following weeks.   Between Vaadim,  members interact via a
chavrusa system and a Vaad-wide  email list for mutual feedback and support.
(We are also exploring other options for Vaad-member communication, such as
using various social networking sites.)

We are glad to report that after over a year of running this Vaad, the vaad
members have agreed that it is a successful endeavor. All of us have noticed
improvement in our middos, and, in many cases, so have our wives.

Now that we have experience with this kind of program and the loose details
have been worked out we would like to invite you, in the name of AishDas, to
join a new Vaad, patterned after the successful format of the original Vaad,
which still continues. (We are not expanding the original  e-Vaad, as we
have reached the optimal size).

Please email Yosef Skolnick (yskolnick at gmail.com) or Moshe Yehuda Gluck (
mgluck at gmail.com) if you are interested in finding out more.

We will probably be starting within the next few weeks. We will be
beginning, IY'H, with the middah of Hislamdus, followed by the middah of
Chessed.

Kol Tuv,

Moshe Yehuda Gluck and Yosef Skolnick
