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.
This is a Christian who embraces the Jewishness of her Saviour by delving into Jewish sources. Interesting.
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).
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.
Gavriela, documenting her adventures as a new immigrant, is at the same time doing the grunt work of explaining to Diaspora Jewry why they should be immigrating to Israel too, but unlike me she manages to do it with a hug and a warm heart. She is effective in doing this. She is an excellent and captivating writer and deserves to be followed widely.
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.
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.
