I enjoy writingletters.Asalittlechildmymomhelpedmetowrite
a letter to the Israeli president. I asked him to stop caraccidents.Asa
soldier I wrote to the Major and asked him why we use M16s when
its against the Geneva Convention. Eventually the art school
headmaster refused to receive my letters and Obama hasnt replied to
me, yet. The Center for Supportive Bureaucracy is constantly training
new clerks who provide the desirable service.Someparticipantsagree

Letters,ofallSorts
is a booklet collection of some of the letters (The collection is
availableatalfassibooks.com).
The letters vary a lot in their subjects. I helped a man with a
behavioral disturbance write a letter to his boss, many letters were
written to the dead and some to thosewhowereabouttobeborn.One
of the letters was written after a frustrating day for me I was waiting
in a coffee shopformanyhours forpeopletousemyserviceandIwas
mostlybymyself,questioningmyartisticpath.Iwas aboutto go home
as a woman approached me and asked for my help. She ended the
letter to her old lover who lives in another country sobbing. She
wanted to keep both copies of the letter and was surprised that I was
totally OK with that. Why are you doing that? she asked me. For
peoplelikeyouIanswered.

This unique report card was issued to me 7 years agoandisthemost
precious document I have. It was 2am, at the end of a semispontaneous
community art festival at Makhne Yehuda"theWestJerusalemmarket.
We were about to close the event andgohomewhentwoguysshowedup
with a big plastic container and invited people to their "office" (anempty
vegetable stand). They had them sit on produce boxes while they issued
them a new end of the year report card. I wasn't quite sure what I was
getting into, but being drunk and excited for the success of the event, I
went along with it. I dont remember how they introduced themselves,
they asked me if there was any school year that was somewhat hard for
me. I thought about it for a few minutes since I had many bad years in
school, many momentsfullofshame,sadness,lowselfesteemandlackof
thought of the two guys at the market, and a few days later I started
issuingCertificatesofRecognition.Iusuallyphrasethecertificatetogether
with the participant during a short interview in which I ask the questions
about his or hers qualities in life and areas they deserve recognition for.
Once an Empowering Clerk and an eligible witness sign it and seal it, it
becomesanofficialdocument.
Recently Ms. Teafly, head of the Oregon CSB branch and ECN
Secretary of Design developed a unique Refurbished Report Card for the
ECN. In office hours I issued an RRC to a 60 yearsold to shineadifferent
light on his entire K12 school years experience (it was a very emotional
experience for both of us), one to a 90 yearsold (for his third grade
experience) and an eleven yearsold who is a little stressed at schoolissued
himself a Refurbished Report Card. I made sure his descriptions of himself
are accurate and authorized the document. You can download an RRC and
issue
it
according
to
the
EC
Guidelines
at
www.supportivebureaucracy.org
.
Many Empowering Clerks (ECs)
around the world are answering
the high demand for recognition.
The CSB distributed hundreds of
Empowering Clerk Starter Kits
(ECSK2.0) with presealed blank
certificates and other official
documents.Youcanorderyoursat

available in various languagesand

Supportive Bureaucracy is now

training program, and new Local Empowering Clerks Unit (LECU) are
constantly being established. After you show devotion to the healing
bureaucratic process you will receive a Portable Empowering Clerks Office
(PECO) with your own embosser and fountain pen. The CSB is alsooffering

I believe writing is sacred. I dont know if we used to write better or
worse before the internet andtextingera,butwedefinitelywritedifferentlyin
these forms. As I started to explore creative writing in English, I found
Facebook and the local parenting yahoo group to be my ideal places to
practice and have an audience. Unlike the common understanding that
Facebook is for cats and politics and parents groups are for nanny
recommendations,Itriedtowritebriefessays,parentingmusingsandmoreon
these platforms. It seemed to work, and even my grammer got better during
that process. But after awhile, I felt
that all thiseffortwas lostdownthe
feed, and most likely no one will
ever read it again. I guess its
different when something is
printed, maybe our mind or
subconscious see it differently. I
made the FSB (Facebook Statuses
Booklet), a handmade collection of
my writings on social media
platforms which I send exclusively
via snail mail, with stamped FPs
(Facebook Postcards) for easy
sharing,onthefridgeorviaUSPS.
Printing my online musings and brief essays gave me a sense of
validation as a writer. I started to experiment in doing the same to other
writers, each time trying to find the right form for the text. Alfassi Books
FCS (File Converting Service) offers writers to take their most precious
written documents and give them a fresh look with new and excitingformats
likepostcards,bookletsandscrolls.

The blood bank and Wikipedia are examples of the gift economy.
Unlike the barter and monetary systems, participants dont expect to
receive any money or product for their contributions, but they do it
generallyinordertogainsatisfactionbyhelpingpeopletheynevermet.
Both the Center for Supportive Bureaucracy and the Empowering
Clerks Network are basedonthegift economymodel.Ifyoureceiveda
book or a bureaucratic service,youmaychoosetogivesomethingback
by supporting us in creating new work, or choose another cause youd
like to support with time, money or talent (
payitforward
.)Youmay
also choose to take your time before deciding. Almost 2500 booklets
and sketchbooks were made, about twenty thousands official
documents were issued and hundreds of ECSK2.0 (Empowering Clerk
Starter Kit) and ABCP (Alfassi Books Care Package) were mailed.
Many thinkers state that we must experience other types of less
destructive economies. In the process of distributing my art, many
exchanges were made that didnt involve money or that were done in
order to support good causes around the world. I managedtocovermy
costs and develop new works with the generous help of my audience.
So far the Supportive Bureaucracy Operation System (SBOS7) seems
toworksmoothly.

slightly heavy, dysfunctionalanddestructive.AlfassiBooksCSBruns
