The New Jew Review
Jan 3rd
Hanukkah is really a minor Holiday in the Jewish religion. Think of it as really a rememberance of history than a truly religious/spritual experience.
So, why does everyone know about it? Because it happens during Christmas, the biggest gentile holiday of the year. To cantilever it, Jews, especially American Jews, express themlelves by, making Hanukkah bigger than it really is. If Christians get one present (for one day) then Jews get 8 presents for the eight days. Lights in the windows, holiday cards, there are even Hanukkah albums! All this for a Holiday that is not mentioned in the Torah (the Old Testament).
What’s going on here? Well, it’s something called the New Jew.
Matisyahu Rocks
Jan 2nd
I’ve recently gotten into Matisyahu, the Hasidic Reggae Superstar .
Don’t laugh. He’s really a Hasid (a very religious, traditional Jew). And really sings Reggae music in the spirit of Bob Marley, Burning Spear, and other great stars.
It seems like it’d be shlocky, almost a gimmick, but it isn’t. Reggae has always been steeped in spiritually, blurring the lines between Rastafarianism and sprituality.
