Hazon and The Forward team up for a new "Jew and the Carrot"
The URL is the same, but the look and feel are different. Starting today, jcarrot.org is now a blog at the Forward. Started by Hazon in 2006, the Jew and the Carrot has provided insight, recipes and news covering the spectrum of Jewish related food issues. Hopefully this new move will give the blog more readers, more contributers and more legitimacy.
It’s great to see two Jewish institutions, one historic and one relatively new, working together. This type of collaborative effort embodies exactly the kind of effort Hazon is embarking on by creating their new office space in lower Manhattan (which shares a floor with The Forward), Makom Hadash, which seeks to be “a multi-tenant nonprofit center for second-stage Jewish nonprofits, which will enable member organizations to focus more on their missions, develop more sophisticated organizational infrastructure, and collaborate more effectively together.”
So head on over to the new jcarrot.org and have a look around!
What issues? This is just fluff for the granite countertop set.
Kashrut has been a slightly importantly issue since at east a decade before the advent of granite countertops.
Looking ‘Forward’ to the new jcarrot. Crunch!
I didn’t realize that having granite countertops made me part of a set. What else is in the set? Do I come with accessories?
I don’t know… They seem to have dropped the food justice and now are all about foodie-ism. Boring! Who needs another foodie blog?
agreed, ariel. but let’s give them the benefit of the doubt that it’s only day 3… I hope…
So far, Justin, I am not impressed! I will try to keep an open mind… I guess I am just sad, it was one of my favorites for a while.
agreed
Sad they’ve dropped the food justice focus, but willing to give them a chance.
