What are you reading?
So, we’re asking you:
What Jewish blogs do you read?
Which ones on our current list do you like?
Which ones on our current list do you not like?
Don’t wanna comment publicly on what you don’t like? Email me at davidAMwilensky{at}gmail{dot}com.
Thanks.
I read Jewcy and Weird Jews once in a while. I couldn’t care less what events are going on in New York and Boston and whatever other big cities unless they’re truly groundbreaking.
And what could qualify as groundbreaking for you, anon? And where would you go on the web if you were looking for such events?
Blogroll yawn. How ’bout a twitter feed? A facebook page?
Jewschool is stuck in 2006. Is this just a blog or a community?
SG, we tweet at @Jewschool_com and on Facebook here. The site needs a face lift, but we’re looking at the prospects of that too.
And we’ve co-sponsored events in DC, NYC and LA within the past year. If we did our own Jewschool events, would you come?
David,

Do a social facebook badge so we can snark on each other in full view of the FB-verse.
Of course, JG won’t be able to participate, but that’s okay.
At the risk of plugging my own blog, I’m going to plug my own blog.
The others I’d list I mostly found through Jewschool in the first place–Hatam Soferet, Velveteen Rabbi, Teruah, the Jew and the Carrot; someone already mentioned Weirdjews, and I do keep Tablet Magazine on my RSS reader, though I find it hit-and-miss.
Thanks for the suggestions, everyone! Keep em coming!
From what I can tell none of the suggested websites so far are based in Israel.
Of course zero is not much less than the number of Israeli websites on your current blogroll.
Too many actual young Torah-knowledgable Jews there?
Boxhead, Jewlicious has contributors in Israel, Meretz USA–whether you like Meretz or not!–surely includes some Israeli opinion, same goes for MuzzleWatch and NIF, and then there’s South Jerusalem.
The blogroll is in real disrepair and we’ll be adding and taking some away from it soon, but do keep in mind, Boxhead, that a lot if Israelis blog in Hebrew and that we only include English-language blogs on our blogroll–not as a matter of policy, but as a matter of practicality!
I read a lot of Conservative Judaism Journal at the library. All this stuff should be posted online somewhere. Such a great wealth of Conservative rabbis writing in print. This is something few Conservative rabbis seem to do these days except perhaps to each other on ravnet. And I don’t have access to that.
Oh and Boxhead, instead of bitching and moaning about it, do you have any suggestions of Israeli blogs you think we should include?
instead of bitching and moaning about it, do you have any suggestions
that would require actual intelligent contribution rather than trolling.
Stop making fun of Dave’s name. What are we, in preschool? He’s obviously on another wavelength. The guy is obviously like the 6th or 7th biggest fan of Jewschool. Just leave him be.
A lot of “obviously”-s in that sentence. Just wanted to point that out, in case it wasn’t obvious.
And yes, I have two suggestions:
Lisa Goldman

Yaacov Lozowick

6th or 7th biggest fan of Jewschool
You mean the #1 fan of annoying us with irrelevant, off-topic antagonism…?
Melt his cold, bitter heart with love, David.
I just have to say… I am liking Victor more and more every day! 🙂
Haokets is the Hebrew spot for your unsure of Zionism crew:

Jewschoolers would love it… hope it’s relevant for a few.
