Standing Up For Justice, or Straightening Our Curly Jew Hair?

by [➚] · Thursday, December 3rd, 2009

Fritz Silber-Baker and Caroline Rothstein, my favorite Yids of the award winning slam poetry team “The Intangible Collective,” will be performing as part of this Sunday’s 2nd annual Inside the Activists’ studio. (As you may have seen by the prominently placed ad or recent post, Jewschool is a cosponsor – that means we helped plan it and hope to see many of you there! We majorly endorse this event!)

Here’s a taste of Fritz and Caroline from a slam this summer. The recording quality isn’t amazing, but they say so many freakin’ profound and important things about the modern Jew’s struggle with identity and history that you may need to watch it a few times anyway.

"I may attack a certain point of view which I consider false, but I will never attack a person who preaches it. I have always a high regard for the individual who is honest and moral, even when I am not in agreement with him. Such a relation is in accord with the concept of kavod habriyot, for beloved is man for he is created in the image of God." —Rav Joseph Soloveitchik
