The Reading List: Video Edition!

By Ben Sales | 4 Comments

Yay new media! Today’s reading list will feature five videos–not including the two Purim videos we already posted. Thanks, YouTube! So, you want to go to rabbinical school… [CFIDSgurl] Here’s what happens when sheltered Orthodox college boys try to be risque. [The Lonely Turtle] Yet another Purim parody video. I’ll be honest: I haven’t watched […]

Five Students, Five Questions, One Israel Apartheid Week

By Ben Sales | 2 Comments

With Israel Apartheid Week in full swing at campuses nationwide, here’s what five students from right to left have to say about the programs and controversy at Berkeley–the birthplace of Students for Justice in Palestine.

Yasmin Levy brings Ladino to the Somerville Theater

By mekeisler | 1 Comment

Yasmin Levy‘s band sounded, in a word, warm. Melodic double bass, percussive Spanish guitar, wavering, klezmer-like clarinet, and laid back latin percussion. It was a thick, mid-range heavy sound, gently syncopated on slow songs, and pulsing quickly for the high energy numbers. It filled up the Somerville Theater Wednesday night. But all of it was […]

Reading List: More Maccabeats, and Israel Apartheid Week underway…

By David A.M. Wilensky | 1 Comment

*Sigh* Israel Apartheid Week is underway, like it or not. Before we jump into a round-up of the relevant news, here’s something to cheer you up–more Maccabeats! It’s their new Purim/Pink tune. If you’re into that sort of thing. And now for the less fun stuff: One Jewish student is suing UC Berkeley because a […]

Brandeis Hillel rejects JVP

By Ben Sales | 4 Comments

Months after Wayne Firestone released his controversial guidelines about which groups are and are not welcome in Hillel, the battle rages on. Today, news came out that the pro-Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions group Jewish Voice for Peace was declined membership in Brandeis University’s Hillel, prompting this post from Magnes Zionist blogger Jerry Haber: Of course, Hillel […]

By David A.M. Wilensky | Comments Off on J Street Conference Showcases J Street U’s Growth

500 college students–one quarter of the total attendees–descended on Washington at the end of February for J Street’s national conference. The size of the student delegation displayed the growth of J Street U during the past year, and gave students a central role in the conference.

And…Action!

By akinman | 1 Comment

T-minus 6 days and counting! Projector prepped, curtains pulled and seats stainless. This can only mean one thing. Gainesville’s first Jewish Film Festival is about to make waves in north central Florida. Starting at 7 p.m. on Monday, the festival will run until March 29 and will be open to the public. A film will […]

Bowling/Calling for Dollars

By mmoncaster | Comments Off on Bowling/Calling for Dollars

It’s fund raising season at Vancouver Hillel. Against my initial instincts, I signed up for one night of calling during the telethon. I figured that I take from Hillel (food, internet bandwith, naps on their couch), so it was the least I could do. But let me be clear, asking people for donations is one […]

Peaceful Speakers

By jcohen | 3 Comments

It came to my attention last night that this is the seventh annual Israel Apartheid Week. A time in which cities across the world, and several colleges across the United States, protest Israel’s displacement of the Palestinians as a result of becoming a state. The official website goes so far as to declare Israel to […]

The Reading List: Holocaust documentary being show in Iran

By David A.M. Wilensky | Comments Off on The Reading List: Holocaust documentary being show in Iran

Say what? Holocaust doc “Shoah” is playing on illegal Iranian satellite television. With Farsi subtitles. [JTA] Whoa! Big news as Israel announces plans to demolish some settlements. [JTA] At NYC’s New Shul, the best chefs win the Golden Schmaltz Award. Yum. [The Jew & The Carrot–The Forward] Why is Obama tossing a fake football around […]
