Hands up

Shimon Rawidowicz had strong feelings about this. I think this is why the reassessment of the history of the interactions between Jews in Palestine and in various other places is so crucial- bc there is a felt and theorized sense that the Land of Israel is different, just not in nationalist terms

I would read this graphic novel

Golders Green = Brookline + Brooklyn

Classic recent Boyarin at work here- “Josephus against the zionots. Josephus as a model for Jewish political thinking”

Wow going to nab tix for the Berlin show thanks for the clue

When my partner went to the Soviet WWII Memorial in Treptower Park in Berlin for the first time, they said “Now I understand that the Russians actually won the war”

A new group is a safe space for observant Jews who oppose Israel’s war in Gaza - Jewish Telegraphic Agency Anti-Israel sentiment is not openly discussed in Orthodox communities. Halachic Left wants that to change.

Read the first press coverage I know of about Halachic Left, a loose organization/support group I'm proud to be a part of:

I have this experience quite frequently with my therapist it’s a good reality check I guess

A Celebration of Frank London’s Music Will Be Missing One Thing: Him The trumpeter, composer and bandleader who helped revitalize klezmer is battling cancer. But his work hasn’t slowed, and his longtime associates are rallying around him.

Wishing the great Frank London happiness, comfort, and swift, full recovery on this, his 66th birthday. Celebrate his life and work on Monday, June 3, at Roulette, in person or streaming live.

I understand you said that and it sounds great but how does that actually work? governments decide where state money goes, how could anything be beyond partisan reach?

So government funding, while obviously a great thing, is no cure all when the government is biased to say the least

I can tell you from my experiences in Germany that we’re on the other side of this dynamic- privately funded spaces are the only places where Palestine discourse is occasionally tolerated, as the publicly funded institutions (which in Germany are the majority) hold to the state line of Zionism

I don’t think this is even a far right thing, it’s fundamentally liberal secular ideology too

For sure. This is the heart of the “judeo-Christian” myth. And on the flip side it’s basic racism.
