Some people dread any occasion that requires them to purchase a present. They go from store to store searching for something, anything that will please the recipient. And if you’re not close to the person, it can be even more of a challenge. Most likely, you end up with a gift card to a store or even a generic Visa or Amex gift card if you’re desperate. However, I enjoy the time it takes to find that one special gift. In the days leading up to the event, I’m overflowing with anticipation because I know the person will love it.

When it comes to gift giving, I know you can never go wrong with beautiful Jewish art. Art in general is loved by most, but Jewish art truly is held dear by all. It is a representation of one’s culture, one’s spiritual beliefs and that’s why it is difficult not to fall in love with something that represents your way of life. Illuminated manuscripts and other pieces of artwork can fit any occasion. The most popular and common piece of artwork is the ketubah, a gift given to newlyweds. It is a sacred marriage contract that every Jewish couple should have in their home. It’s a far better gift than a check stuck in a card!

But Jewish art is also excellent for other special events like a Bar Mitzvah, a birthday, or a housewarming. You might be thinking that you don’t know the first thing about art or how to design it. That is why you choose skilled artists who can take your ideas and turn them into something monumental. It’s not your job to know how to design them after all. Simply speak with the artist and inform him what the occasion is and he’d be more than willing to come up with a piece both you and the recipient will enjoy.

Judaica art is a gift that requires thought and effort. First you have to find an artist and then think about colors, patterns, and blessings that you know the person will love. You can’t just walk into a shop and grab a piece off the shelf! But that little bit of effort will go a long way. The recipient will be grateful you didn’t opt for the boring gift card. You sought out artwork and made his home a more inviting and beautiful place.

Whether it be for Father’s Day or for Chanukah, anyone would be honored and blessed to receive Jewish art as a gift.

Save Your Time and Scrimp Those Pennies–How Audio Books Can Save You Time and Money

When examining the pros and cons of any invention, it is important to consider how conveniently the item fits into your daily life. The two main aspects of convenience are time and money. Does the invention save

your time? How expensive is it? Audio books are extremely convenient because they save both time and money.

Audio Books–Anywhere, Anytime

Audio books are convenient because they can be listened to anywhere, anytime. Originally, books on tape were only on audio cassette tape because this was the only format available. People used walkmans to listen to books on tape at their convenience–on the bus, while jogging, or while doing laundry.

With the invention of CDs, there was yet another format that audio books could be recorded in. And most recently, the invention of the Ipod has provided yet another option, perhaps the most convenient option thus far. Ipods allow for the option of downloading audio books straight from your computer–what could be any more convenient then that? Audio books further streamline the process of multi tasking. They allow anyone to enjoy a book while doing one or more other things at the same time.Abridged Vs. Unabridged

One of the other conveniences of audio books is that they come in both abridged and unabridged versions.

The abridged version of any given audio books is approximately 30% of the original. Therefore, if one is in a hurry, they can listen to the abridged version of a book on tape. This can be a major time saver.

Find Them At The Bookstore Or SAVE BIG $ $ $ and Buy Them Online

There are many places where you can conveniently find audio books. Physical Audio books are sold at any bookstore, though they are much more costly than purchasing them online. Although book store locations are extremely convenient, the invention of the internet has, again, made obtaining audio books even faster, easier and cheaper.

Many bookstores that carry audio books, carry audio books that can be ordered online. If you order an audio cassette tape online, it will be delivered right to your door! Most recently, with the invention of mp3 players, downloadable mp3 files of audio books have been placed on the internet. Some of these files are free to the public; others charge a fee with anywhere up to a HUGE 80% saving. Whatever your situation, you will easily be able to find an audio cassette book at a location that is most convenient for you.

Money Matters–The Cost Of Audio Books

Just like books that are in print, the pricing of audio books varies greatly. The price of books on tape depends greatly on the condition of the book. Is it new? Is it a used copy? Is it a best seller?

Typically, audio books that have just been released are more expensive than other; they can cost anywhere from $ 12.99 to $ 19.99. However, it is easy to find used books on tape either online or in used bookstores.

One advantage to the pricing of an audio book as opposed to that of a book in print is that there are no hard cover audio books. Thus, hard cover is not a factor when it comes to the cost of audio books. It also depends on the format of the audio book. For example, a book on tape in cassette format is less expensive

than an audio book in CD format. Overall, the pricing of audio books is similar to that of print books. If you hunt for bargains, you can easily find them.

Last year was the first year that e-books out-sold actual printed books. It has ignited a great book debate among people. Many believe that printed books preserve old traditions. Technology has its place, but it’s also unpredictable.

People who enjoy the new digital books argue that they are far more transportable and almost impossible to damage. They also cost less. In some cases, they don’t cost anything. These are all very persuasive arguments.

However, there’s nothing quite like the satisfaction and relaxation that comes with curling up with a cup of hot cocoa and a good book. It certainly depends on personal preference and it might also rely on what age the individual is, but it’s still not the real thing.

It’s not the same with a digital book. The screen doesn’t have the same visual spectrum as paper and if you’re easily distracted by all the other forms of entertainment offered online. With an old fashioned book, you are able to get lost amongst the pages far easier.

Another factor is worth considering. First issues of books in print can be very costly, while e-books can be obtained far easier aside from being cheaper.

There is another thing to consider when comparing price. While an old fashioned book is more expensive, you own it forever, it can sit proudly on your shelf, and you won’t lose it because of some copyright device or software glitch.

However, there is definitely merit in technology. Without a doubt, the world would be a far more depressing and difficult place and we wouldn’t be able to accomplish as much as can be done nowadays.

This isn’t necessarily true with regard to literature though. Libraries and authors are both suffering from the onslaught of digital printing, and it may be a losing battle.
