This document summarizes research on Dunbar's number, which proposes that humans can maintain stable social relationships with approximately 150 people. It discusses evidence that supports the idea that primate brain size evolved to manage complex social groups. Studies have validated Dunbar's number by examining people's social networks based on Christmas card exchanges and Twitter data.

The New Habits of a Successful Salesforce AdminMike Gerholdt
This year for Dreamforce I wanted to rethink what it means to be a successful Salesforce Admin and what habits Admins should be following. Our approach was a bit different than in previous years, rather than just adding more habits we took a look at the habits I had proposed in previous years and tried to put them into context. In addition, we took at look at the timeliness of each habit- because let’s be honest, we can’t do everything everyday. And we don’t need to tackle that much on a daily basis.
Our approach this year was to make the habits consumable and easy to follow. Believe me, I’ve been in your shoes and being a Salesforce Admin can be a tough job because there really isn’t a user manual to success. To help we broke the habits into daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly activities that will help you stay informed, keep your users up to date, and ensure that you completing what you need to get done to keep your org healthy.

Jewish Geography Goes Digital (Moving the Needle - RAVSAK/PARDES #mtn2014)Esther Kustanowitz
While connecting is easier today than it ever has been before, there’s more to connection than mastering tools. Effective connectors have networks that are both wide and deep; not only connected to a goal or purpose but interconnected among their members who are not just program participants, but active gears in the machinery of your school, program, organization or initiative. Each person represents access to an expanded network, and an expanded future audience to receive, absorb and redistribute your messages. In a future where reach seems infinite, how does your use of social media tools and communication strategies amplify your ability to share things that are important with the eagerly listening members of your current and future network? Learn how to engage people from a point of meaning and value, deepen relationships and effectively mobilize your networks to share information as well as invite feedback.

Does doctrine matter? Some thoughts from @drbexlBex Lewis
Foucault argued that historically defined periods and social groups produce ideas of "truth" and knowledge through rules of discourse. These rules are associated with and regulated by institutions, which are also structured by discourses. Theology has a role in articulating how the church contributes to the public good. As communication from God in scripture shows, God extravagantly communicates with people and is not a silent God. For many, online social spaces have become the new "front door" to churches, so they must engage digitally.
The Jewish Leadership Council - Leading In 30 May 2013Esther Kustanowitz
The document discusses leadership in the digital age and the use of social media tools to promote initiatives and develop relationships.

This document discusses how synagogues can build community networks. It argues that traditional hierarchical "hub and spokes" models of community should shift to more open, collaborative network models where individuals are bound together by shared values and responsibility for one another. Successful networks require mapping connections, appointing network weavers to facilitate relationships, and rethinking how success is measured by focusing on meaningful social connections rather than events and programs. The role of rabbis and leaders is to question assumptions, understand the existing network, and create an environment where community members engage with each other.
This document discusses how technology and globalization have changed how people learn, share information, communicate, entertain themselves, and more. It notes that adoption of new technologies, like Facebook and YouTube, has occurred very rapidly. Specifically, it took Facebook just 9 months to reach 100 million users. The document also discusses the evolution of the World Wide Web from Web 1.0 to 2.0 and how Americans' online time is spent, with over 23% on social networking and blogs. It argues that virtual interactions are not inferior to face-to-face but just different, and encourages balancing real and virtual relationships. The concept of social capital and maintaining approximately 150 relationships is also covered.
This document provides information on using social media for church evangelism and outreach. It defines key social media platforms and notes that over 45% of the world's population is on social media, representing a potential audience of billions for spreading the gospel message. The document encourages churches to create social media accounts to preach the gospel, advertise church events, interact with members online, and keep members informed of church activities. It provides tips on how to effectively use each platform in a way that is simple, avoids judgment, and allows for discussion. The overall message is that social media opens new opportunities for churches to fulfill the Great Commission of spreading the gospel to more people worldwide.

Why churches can't afford to ignore social media (for New Wine)Bex Lewis
The document discusses why churches cannot afford to ignore social media. It notes that social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and blogs have become effectively the "front door" for many people, especially younger generations, to access information about churches. The document provides guidance on how churches can develop a strategic social media presence, including determining goals and objectives, appropriate platforms, content, target audiences, posting schedules and community management best practices.

1) The document discusses using online spaces to support existing communities that are distributed geographically. It proposes providing members personalized profiles, discussion forums, and areas for sharing resources.

3) Desired features for the online community space include making it user-centered, giving members control and a sense of identity, enabling networking around shared interests, and facilitating easy organization and tagging of shared resources.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

4. ACCESSIBILITY:
Convenience of
today’s online social LEARNING:
communication tools Text study, learning
and reflection
SOCIAL:
Relationships, dialogue,
community
5. What is a “Social Sermon”?
1.Opportunities to engage in LEARNING
and COMMUNITY BUILDING using
online tools
2.Weaving this content and these
relationships back into the FACE TO
FACE community in our local
communities
3.Inviting ACTIVE participation, rather
than passive attendance
6. Starting Assumptions
People: There are audiences who are
interested in Jewish learning, but unable or
unwilling to come to regular adult education
classes.
8. Rethinking the Approach
Strategy: Getting more
people to participate in
education and community
more often doesn’t mean
“market it more”. Time to
rethink our design.
9. Choose the Right Tools
Technology: Choose a platform where your
target audiences already are, that will
enable you to have the conversations you
want, and where Rabbis & educators can be
comfortable.
13. Social Sermons
in Action
A Case Study from
Rabbi David C. Levy
Temple Shalom, Succasauna, NJ
14. Know Your Community
– Digital Citizens vs. Digital Immigrants
• Be ready to do tech support
• Watch for increase in followers and FB likes
• Don’t discount the lurkers
15. A special treat,
not a regular entrée
– People enjoy the engagement, but still want
to hear from the Rabbi
– Makes the service into an event.
16. Creating a Text Study
Social Sermon
– Determine the Social Media Vehicles that work
best for your congregation.
• Facebook
• Twitter
• Blogs
• Don’t forget Email!
17. Creating a Text Study
Social Sermon
• Publicize!
From: rabbilevy@tshalom.org
Take Part in The Sermon That You Help Write!
…Imagine a Friday evening sermon that’s the work of not only myself
as Rabbi, but you as well…. By the time I deliver my Shabbat remarks, I
hope to be drawing inspiration from, or even representing the
discussion of, many of our congregants and even friends of Temple
Shalom who are connected to us through Facebook!...
19. Creating a Social Sermon
• Carry on The Dialogue
– “The Earth is the Eternal’s and all that it holds, the world and its
inhabitants.” from Psalm 24:1
• RL responds: “In Psalm 24:1 the concept that
man does not “own the earth”…
• JW responds: “…“(I like) Rob’s idea that man
does not own the earth…
20. Creating a Social Sermon
– Produce and Publish
• Use input as your text/commentaries,
• Add your own insights and name names!
• Publish after Shabbat and publicize
“….Perhaps, our job is to listen, deeply for answers that will nurture us and return
balance to Earth.” Here, Adam offered us the understanding that perhaps in order
to truly fulfill the command “to till and to tend”, we must begin in quiet, truly listening
to God’s creation and attuning ourselves to God’s earth.
21. Someone May Be Watching
A newspaper article resulted from a reporter seeing
the Social Sermon on our Website & Facebook page.
22. “He dreamed a ladder was set on the ground, with
it’s top reaching to heaven, and angels of G-d were
going up and down. And the Eternal stood above it
and said, “… And here I am, with you.”
(Gensis 28:12-15)
The ladder is a bridge between heaven and earth, on
the surface for the angels, but perhaps for G-d and
Jacob too. How is social media like Jacob’s Ladder?
