Jade Sank on Reform Judaism @ RJ.org
As previously noted, I’m now one of the many authors of the North American Reform Movment’s official blog, RJ.org. As part of that, I’m working now on a series of questionnaires handed out to a variety of Reform Jewish teens and twenty-somethings in response to a piece that appeared in the Summer issue of Reform [...]

Alive and Well and at Kutz
I am alive and well and at Kutz. I’m not quite sure what my shedule is going to look and I probably won’t know until next week, when staff week is over. Because of that, I don’t know how often I’ll be able to blog this summer. I do have a little project up my [...]

The Language of Prayer
It was with great excitement that I heard about the new theme for the Thursday editions of the URJ’s Ten Minutes of Torah: T’filah, prayer. My wishfully thinking little mind conjured up a picture of totally engaging discssions of the progressive apporach to liturgy.

Don’t Mess With The Zohan
Dear readers, I’m about to do you a great service. I have gone to see “Don’t Mess With The Zohan” so you don’t have to.
The film was recommended by A.O. Scott (or so says my mother whom I’m no longer sure I believe on that fact) so we went to see it last night.
Good things:
The music was good. The music was mostly provided by Israels top rap/pop group, [...]

48 and a week from Kutz
Today is the 48th day of the Omer. It looks like I may acutally make it to a full 49 days straight of daily posting. Gosh.
A few hours short of one week from now, I’ll be back at Kutz, welcoming Shabat amongst friends and colleauges. It will be the beginning of staff week, as we prepare for another summer of broadening the minds, souls, and intellects that will, hopefully, [...]

47 and my new second blogging home
The end is nigh. Today is the 47th day of the Omer.
So yesterday, I said that you’d be able to read stuff from me occasionally at RJ.org starting on Shavuot. By Shavuot, I meant today. Because my first article is up at RJ.org today. See it here.
Also, 18 brownie points to whoever finds my name in [...]

46 and RJ.org
Today is the 46th day of the Omer and the end is closer than ever before. I suppose that’s true of most things at most moments.
The URJ recently unveiled its new blog, RJ.org, the official blog of the Reform movement of North America. It’s good. Go check it out. If you need more of a reason to look at it than me telling you it’s good, [...]
