Hello loyal New Voices blog readers!
This is the first installment of our newest feature–the Reading List–a short roundup of the interesting, quirky, relevant, funny and/or important happenings on the Jewy internet. We’ll publish the Reading List every weekday morning and on Friday evenings. On Sundays, the Reading List will link to several articles discussing one interesting topic from the previous week.
If you happen to see something that you deem to be Reading List-worthy, send it over to blog@newvoices.org, and we’ll tell the world! Today, Shalom Auslander gets high, Paul Rudd is a Bat Mitzvah DJ and more. Enjoy:
- In a satire on the Israeli conversion debacle at Tablet Magazine, Shalom Auslander finds out what it’s like when they take away your Jewishness.
- The Forward uncovers Paul Rudd’s secret past as a Bat Mitzvah DJ.
- Glenn Beck compares Jewish Funds for Social Justice Chief Executive Simon Greer to a Nazi.
- Failed Messiah reports that the State of Israel indicted the family of Shmuley Boteach.
- Jewschool calls out the OU’s support of Prop. 8.
Shabbat shalom!
