Ruth Bader Ginsburg Tribute/Hallelujah, Central Synagogue- Rosh Hashanah...



Ruth Bader Ginsburg (/ˈbeɪdər ˈɡɪnzbɜːrɡ/; born Joan Ruth Bader; March 15, 1933 – September 18, 2020) was an American jurist who served as an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1993 until her death in 2020. She was nominated by President Bill Clinton and was generally viewed as a moderate judge at the time of her nomination and eventually becoming part of the liberal wing of the Court as the Court shifted to the right over time. Ginsburg was the second woman to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court, after Sandra Day O'Connor. During her tenure, Ginsburg wrote notable majority opinions, including United States v. Virginia (1996), Olmstead v. L.C. (1999), and Friends of the Earth, Inc. v. Laidlaw Environmental Services, Inc. (2000). - wikipedia

a cell phone your Dad or Mom can use



I hear the same complaints about Cell Phones from the older generation...
  • The buttons are too small and confusing
  • Too many damn features
  • Can't figure out how to make it work
Multi-function keys, touch screens, cameras, mp3 players? Forget it!

Take a look at the iNo CP09 from Foresight Technologies. Totally designed with the elderly in mind: buttons you can hit with a thumb, beefy fonts and a loud ringer, too loud maybe? The big monochrome fonts are easy to see and not very distracting.

Just in time for Father's Day.
