Powerful images from Israel. There is a discerning eye here, far removed from the commonplace tourist-based photography. Worth your time to peruse (and perhaps buy).
It sounds cliche, but choosing to be a friend of Israel at this point in history takes courage. It is well worth your while to follow her, as she is a level-headed commentator.
A genius who cannot hide his age and his grouchiness. But he tries, and the result is rewarding. A shout-out to my landsmen on the Vineyard: you know your parties are dead fish without Alan. Put him back on the list and start having fun again.
I've read two posts (they are what one might delicately call: "long-form"), and so far I've been reading the best writing I've ever encountered on Substack.
This is a Christian who embraces the Jewishness of her Saviour by delving into Jewish sources. Interesting.
Alan is imagining the possibility of a continued flourishing Jewish world in the Diaspora, all while giving Zionists like myself their due. I absolutely disagree with his approach, but...good writing and original thinking carry the day. This Substack is worth your while.
I've been following Rabbi Alperowitz since he opened Chabad on Martha's Vineyard about half a mile from the last home I lived in on the island. He has been writing forcefully against antisemitism but more importantly, he has been providing the environment for an authentic and rich Torah-centric Jewish experience, based on Jewish education. Give him support and subscribe to his Substack.
This is writing that is clear, well thought-out, and simply a pleasure to read, no matter what the subject matter. Good writing stands out and proclaims itself, and a good reader knows good writing when he sees it. Thomas M Gregg is bringing us good writing.
