DAVID ELSEWHERE

Jewschool

I started writing for Jewschool regularly in March of 2009. All of my Jewschool posts here. At Jewschool, I crosspost some things from here at The Shuckle about ritual and liturgy, as well as covering Jewish music and some other stuff that falls out of my head on occasion.

“The most important thing happening online in the Jewish community
today.” –Noted Jewish sociologists Ari Kelman & Steven M. Cohen

Rated “the third most influential faith blog” by The Times of London

Jewschool is the web’s leading source for alternative Jewish views and
culture. Winner of eight Jewish & Israeli Blog Awards, Jewschool has
been featured in The New York Times, USA Today, The Washington Post,
The New York Post, Gothamist, and countless Jewish publications for
its coverage of the cutting edge of Jewish community today.

I’m a Twit!

I’ve joined the Twitter zeitgeist. I’m tweeting (can you believe the words we’ve come up with for this shit?) Jewishly and daily as davidAMwilensky.

Bein Adam laMakom

Bein Adam laMakom was  a new jblog venture I tried out during the summer of 2009. It was a photoblog with the subtitle Jews at Prayer and the Places They Pray. It ran into problems so I stopped doing it after only a few posts.

RJ.org

I am also a contributor to RJ.org, the official blog of the Reform movement in North America. You can see everything on RJ.org by me here. I haven’t written there in ages, though.

Newvoices

Newvoices is a student-run Jewish magazine. I think the content in the magazine is pretty hit-or-miss, but I’m glad such a magazine exists, even if I think it’s nuts that they even have a dead tree edition. I wrote a little bit of a larger piece in their summer 2009 issue about a crazy Long Island bar mitzvah I ran into once in the Negev. Mine is the first piece after the intro.

iTorah

iTorah: Where does your t-shirt come from?

iTorah: Why don’t I do homework on Saturday?

iTorah: Why are we so bad at referring to God?

I’m always looking for more writing oppurtunities in Jewish media. Contact me with ideas at d[dot]profound[at]gmail[dot]com. I’m also now claiming to be a social media guru, for what that’s worth.
