Man, like two minutes after I posted below about the J Street U internships, I see Tablet has an internship this fall too. It’s just that time of year. Anyway, Tablet is looking for a paid design intern for the fall, accepting undergrad juniors and seniors as well as grad students. Full info here. Happy […]
Yo. I’m generally opposed to unpaid internships. But if you’re into them and you’re into J Street, their fall internships might be worth taking a look at. They’re looking for interns for their Boston, LA, DC, NYC and Chicago operations. Full info here.
Those gosh-darn liberal, anti-Israel, anti-Semitic, Palestinian-loving Likkudniks. In a bizarre turn of events, members of the Israeli right-wing are now endorsing an answer to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that was once the purview of the Israeli far left and the intellectual circles of Europe and the US: the one-state solution. An article in the JTA reported today that Knesset […]
I’m not sure if other people know this, but the community center/mosque that New York City just approved for construction is not a Jewish project. Given the public statements on the center from the American Jewish Committee, Anti-Defamation League and J Street–all leading Jewish American organizations–your Jew on the street could assume that this was […]
Pity Dmitriy Salita. A Jewish  immigrant from the Former Soviet Union, Salita is now a professional boxer in New York and practices Orthodox Judaism. You’d think this would make him pretty unique, a good story for the Jewish papers. But though Salita has gotten some coverage in his community, Yuri Foreman–also an Orthodox Russian Jewish […]
This was previously posted at the Shibboleth blog. Shibboleth, aside from being a great name for a publication, is “an undergraduate journal of Jewish thought at Yale.” We at New Voices had a chance to meet a bit of Shibboleth in person at the National Jewish Student Journalism Conference in May. This post brings to […]
The Anti-Defamation League decided on Friday to throw its kippah into the ring by opposing the Cordoba Initiative near Ground Zero, which suggests that the ADL is now working to cause anti-Semitism rather than prevent it.  In a world where Oliver Stone is spewing that “Israel has f*cked up United States foreign policy,” Dutch police are forced to go undercover […]
Maya Beiser went from the kibbutz to Yale to the soundtracks of big-budget movies. Now she’s released an album with tracks ranging from a cello rendition of Led Zeppelin’s “Kashmir” to modern takes on 15th-century Spanish songs. New Voices has the interview
For every critic who disparages hip-hop as being all about “booty-shaking†and liquor, there’s a rapper who defies that stereotype by putting out “conscious rap.†This subcategory of the genre often deals with real life problems that the artist faces, everyday dilemmas that are problems common to the artist’s listeners. As an area with its […]
At least there is some good news today. There is obviously no Zionist conspiracy to run the world. Given the division in the Jewish community, it’s unlikely the community can agree on who a Jew even is, and the meaning of Judaism. With assimilation  at an all time high, one would think the Orthodox world […]
