Myers popped the question when the couple reached the top of the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge. "I actually heard several people say that if you do one thing in Sydney, you need to go do the bridge climb," Myers said. "It's an incredible view of the harbor and something that everybody remembers. So I thought it was something that would be special for Monica and something she would remember forever. I had called a few weeks in advance and talked to my tour guide over the phone and worked the whole thing out over the phone. He was an amateur photographer so he said he would help me out." You're not allowed to carry anything with you on the bridge climb, but the tour guide gave Myers a wristband with a string attached so he could tie it to the ring to prevent the possibility of it falling. Idstein said yes, drawing applause from the D-backs players who were also on the climb.

Copyright © 2023 Shaw Local News Network woman in the kitchen – Hillsdale students often toss around these joking phrases While generally considered more religious and conservative many Hillsdale women would not affirm these stereotypes saying the issue is far more nuanced than often presented by other students One of the most recent trends to stem from the conservative internet bog is the “tradwife movement,” a collection of internet memes and mommy vlogs highlighting — or demeaning — a traditional housewife role “I think it has a very negative connotation,” senior Sabrina Sherman said “I joke around with my friends that I do my best to be a tradwife It is really tailored and doesn’t include the bad aspects of it.” plans on having a career after a few children the division of labor mostly falls under the traditional understandings of female roles,” Sherman said “When I think of the negative aspects of the tradwife culture it doesn’t take into account people’s unique differences Sherman found herself unexpectedly pregnant which led her to redefine what it means to be a traditional wife who also works I had such strict goals for what my future would be like but now my timeline has kind of gotten a little tossed up,” Sherman said “I am doing my best to strive toward goals and personal improvement said she often feels a culture of campus judgment around dating and marriage “A lot of people here assume that if you don’t graduate with a ring on your finger then you didn’t really do Hillsdale College correctly,” Otting said “I see a lot of women who have this idea of what a guy wants but less of what a wife should be in a Christian sense.” Otting said she hopes to get married and become a mother after graduation “I think of the meme with the blonde girl and the blue sundress with the flowers on it,” Otting said “I think that it’s the glorification of what men get out of a subservient wife and not in the biblical sense It comes from a place of arrogance and selfishness.” Being a stay-at-home mom should be done for the children “I don’t care if my husband wants a home-cooked meal every time he comes home,” Otting said “I care that my children are raised in a home where a parent is present when needed.” “You are not going to get respect if you don’t demand some form of it,” Otting said “I think that women on this campus don’t demand enough respect as far as what they can do either within a career field or in the home I think one way campus culture could change is to understand that being a subservient housewife does not mean what the internet and even what some faculty thinks that it means.” Otting argued the true definition of a good wife can be learned from the Virgin Mary “I think what you have to model yourself after is that deep care and respect for God That floods out into how you interact with your husband “I always joke about the Industrial Revolution and its consequences,” Sherman said “We have all these different labor-saving devices so now for the first time women have the opportunity to get their traditional roles done quickly and then have other things to work on.” She said the sexual revolution came about as a response to these opportunities “Now we can have more nuances,” Sherman said “I think the reason why the tradwife trend is becoming so popular is because society is cyclical Maybe there was a reason why this was the way that things were pretty much always done.” While senior Emma De Nooy Miller got married this past summer she said she doesn’t see herself as a tradwife She explained the difference between being viewed as a tradwife versus identifying as one “I think a lot of people think I’m a tradwife merely because I got married when I was 20,” De Nooy Miller said she’s not really a tradwife because she’s very feminist in some of the ways she thinks she took both her and her husband’s last names.’”  had never even heard of tradwives until they got to campus “I had absolutely not heard of the term until coming to Hillsdale,” Idstein said “I think of a woman in the ’50s in an apron cooking dinner the husband and wife are not on equal levels I feel like it’s more of a derogatory term.” Idstein is studying history with the goal of being a museum curator on the East Coast or abroad She is in a long-term relationship of four-and-a-half years with her boyfriend and does not plan on getting married until a few years after college “I’m definitely not a tradwife,” Idstein said “I’m not planning on having kids until about 30 I kind of throw around the term ‘irreligious’ sometimes.” While Idstein said gender roles exist for a reason she said they can sometimes become stifling and cited the “Barbie” movie as a cultural example “I was really excited for the ‘Barbie’ movie because it was an example of women embracing their femininity but I walked out of that theater just feeling so awful about women — how it feels to be one,” Idstein said I think that by victimizing us so much in the media Idstein emphasized the importance of men and women recognizing their shared experiences in order to combat gender inequality “I think we’re on a path to getting better,” Idstein said “I do like seeing women embracing their femininity again I see a lot of that just on social media and in movies I think that we’re still kind of in that phase where we’re bringing men down when we shouldn’t be.” De Nooy Miller said she has a self-proclaimed hatred for gender roles “I really hate gender roles,” De Nooy Miller said that there’s that aspect of me that has to finally admit which tends to be more of a male attribute.”  De Nooy Miller said she was more worried about adhering to gender roles “I stupidly thought that I had to never ask a guy to dance my husband thought it was really attractive that I am a girl that knows what she wants A large portion of roles comes down to preference and God-given talent within a marriage She said her own goal is to have an active career as a dance instructor after raising young children ‘What are the gifts God has endowed me with?’ I think God gives us gifts in order for us to glorify him best,” she said “I don’t think that he gives men and women gifts based solely on gender.” Senior Shannon Golden got married last summer and plans to work in healthcare after graduation She says she partly identifies with the term tradwife She hadn’t heard much about the term except through conservative-leaning news outlets “I believe Jack’s the head of our household but he’s also supposed to love and give himself up for me,” Golden said “I wouldn’t say we follow it when it comes to division of labor because right now we’re both full-time students so it’s not physically possible for me to do all of the housework.” Golden said the most important takeaway for marriage is not about gender roles but rather sacrifice “Love is a choice that you have to make every single day as you choose to sacrifice yourself to the other person,” Golden said “I think if you think of love as something you solely feel then your marriage or your relationship is going to be lacking because you’re waiting for an emotional response that is never going to be there 100% of the time.” Courtesy | Avedis Maljanian My family’s phones screamed with alerts at about 6:30 p.m...

rankings following a years-long practice of ignoring the school because it does not accept federal funding “It doesn’t matter one bit because nobody is going to choose or not choose Hillsdale College based on what the Wall Street Journal rankings say,” said Buddy Moorehouse adjunct instructor of documentary filmmaking “The school’s reputation transcends that.”  The newspaper collects the bulk of its data from Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System and other federal reporting systems as a methodology for scoring institutions Hillsdale’s director of institutional research One of the requirements to be part of the ranking is to be Title IV eligible such as an accredited university that accepts federal financial aid “Depending on the WSJ’s definition of ‘eligible’ in ‘Title IV eligible,’ it is very likely that Hillsdale is not considered as satisfying this criteria,” Trojniak said Moorehouse helped his spring 2023 documentary filmmaking class produce a feature-length documentary telling the story of how Hillsdale College became free from federal aid in the 1980s another requirement for schools to be included in the newspaper’s ranking is that the government data for the factors used to compile its ranking is collected and publicly reported Trojniak said because the college does not accept government funds there are significant measures for which there is no data for the school “There are several measures related to graduate income and social mobility that are derived from data on Pell Grant recipients,” he said “Since there are no Pell Grant recipients at Hillsdale Trojniak said even though the newspaper provides a basic overview of its methodology for scoring institutions it is difficult to ascertain precisely why a particular score is given or why one school is included but another is not,” he said Junior Abby Idstein said she thinks it would help Hillsdale to be part of the rankings but the school is still very successful without it “What makes a college great is its ability to teach the future generation of America,” she said Five alumni work as writers and editors at The Wall Street Journal: Nicole Ault ’19 and Liz Essley Whyte

new year at sundown Friday a new study shows the number of folks likely to participate in Rosh Hashana traditions has increased significantly The Twin Cities Jewish community has grown by 23% since 2004 according to a study released by Brandeis University this month The growth is fueled by Jews moving here from other states growing numbers of interfaith marriages and general population growth of the area There are now 34,500 households with at least one Jewish adult Those households are likely to include adults of other faiths: Nearly 60% of married Jews under age 50 have a spouse or partner who is not Jewish "This is a very high growth rate," said Janet Krasner Aronson associate director of the Cohen Center for Modern Jewish Studies at Brandeis "And the majority of the community is engaged in Jewish life." The results of the 2019 Twin Cities Jewish Population Study, the first such study in 15 years, were an eye opener even for some community leaders. "A lot of us were surprised at that kind of growth,'' said Ted Flaum, CEO of the Jewish Federation of Greater St. Paul, which sponsored the study along with the Minneapolis Jewish Federation and the Harry Kay Charitable Foundation. "Eleven percent [of the Jewish population] have moved here in the past five years,'' he said. "We don't know who all the new Jews are. That will be a challenge to us, to reach out in new ways." The report, which provided a detailed look at Jewish households, has drawn widespread interest from organizations serving the Jewish community. While Jews account for only 1% of Minnesota's population, they have long been active in civic and community affairs. The report is based on a random sample survey of more than 3,300 respondents in the seven-county metro area. It found just 31% of Jewish households have one member who belongs to a synagogue — part of a national downward trend that started decades ago, said Aronson. However, two-thirds of respondents say they attended at least one service in the past year. That the Jewish population is up but synagogue membership is flat or declining concerns religious leaders such as Rabbi Adam Stock Spilker of Mount Zion Temple in St. Paul. "It means we need to do a better job communicating the relevance of Judaism's message of wholeness, justice and compassion," said Stock Spilker. "This is an opportunity and a challenge." Researchers found that participation in Jewish life is more likely to be personal or community-based. About half of the adults said they participated in a Jewish-sponsored event, 63% said they donated to a Jewish organization and 70% said they connected to an event online. Nearly half of the Twin Cities' nearly 20,000 Jewish children are being raised by parents of differing faiths, the report found. However 80% of Jewish children "are being raised Jewish in some way,'' it said. That could include participating in Jewish traditions at home or attending Jewish summer camps. How to better connect these children to the Jewish community, as well as their parents, was a question raised during a webinar unveiling the study this week. Should there be a greater focus on Jewish preschools, schools and education? Rabbi Joshua Borenstein, executive director of the Torah Academy in St. Louis Park, is a firm believer in this route. Not only do Jewish schools provide a stable foundation in Jewish values and practices, but they also provide a community of mentors, teachers and friends to support both the student and parent. "Judaism is a way of life," said Borenstein. "When the values are instilled at those ages, they become part of your essence." The survey described an overall financially secure community, with some weaknesses. Sixty-two percent of households reported living comfortably, and another 27% said they could cover living expenses with a little left over. But nearly one in 10 households reported being able to meet only basic needs. And that survey was taken last fall and winter before COVID-19, said Flaum, noting that the financial situation of those lower-income households may have deteriorated further. Jewish social-service groups have been seeing a growing demand for food shelf and other supports to families in need, he said. With or without wealth, thousands of Jews will be lighting candles and saying traditional blessings over dinner at their homes this weekend. It is the beginning of the high holidays for Jews, 10 days culminating in Yom Kippur on Sept. 28. It's a time of introspection and atonement. Jewish leaders hope that in the months following, the report can guide programs and services for the Twin Cities community. "This cannot sit on shelves,'' said Flaum. "This is a gift we're giving to the community. I think this will help us shape the footprint for the next 10 years for the Jewish community.''
