The God Upgrade: Book by Rabbi Jamie Korngold http://www.godupgrade.com It's time to upgrade your concept of God Mon, 23 Apr 2012 17:25:56 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 My Prediction for CNN.com for 2012: 24×6 – Take a Day Off http://www.godupgrade.com/2012/01/01/my-prediction-for-cnn-com-for-2012-24x6-take-a-day-off/ http://www.godupgrade.com/2012/01/01/my-prediction-for-cnn-com-for-2012-24x6-take-a-day-off/#comments Sun, 01 Jan 2012 23:32:22 +0000 Rabbi Jamie Korngold http://www.godupgrade.com/?p=407 I was asked by CNN to predict what awaits us in 2012.

My prediction is #9 on their lead story:
http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2012/01/01/12-faith-based-predictions-for-2012/

And I’ll paste it here:

Sabbath becomes trendy!

Fourth Commandment makes a comeback!

Sabbath named Time’s person of the year!

A new movement sweeps the country. They call themselves 24/6. Worn out by being tethered to the grid 24/7, sick of being accessible all hours of the day, inundated by updates, upgrades, and breaking news, Americans finally rebel, demanding, “We need a day off.”

People all over the country go offline for 24 hours every week. The simple break from the frenetic pace results in lowered cholesterol levels, fewer speeding tickets, and a reduction in marital strife. Peace, tranquility and contentment spread like wildfire.

–Jamie Korngold, rabbi and author of “The God Upgrade”

What do you think? Any chance of 24/6 coming to fruition?

I’m in the Wall Street Journal today.

It’s a great article by Ralph Gardner.

If you are not familiar with his writing he is very witty and fun to read.

I’d say this is one of the best articles ever written about my work.
