Hey y’all. I apparently suck at keeping a blog. That’s why I became a Twitterer.
That said:
- Here’s my latest op-ed on the difficulties of doing a Jewish social entrepreneur fellowship if you’re lower or middle class. It sparked a mighty interesting conversation throughout the Jewish community, eliciting responses from the Joshua Venture’s Lisa Lepson, the Jim Josephs Foundation’s Adene Sacks, PresenTense’s Ariel Beery, Upstart’s Maya Bernstein and Jewschool’s newest contributor Donald Cohen-Cutler. I’m interested to hear your thoughts…
- I recently had a rather fascinating open dialogue with UJA Federation of NY’s John Ruskay at the B’nai Jeshurun Men’s Havurah. You can check out the coverage in The Forward and The Jewish Week.
- It’s worth noting that I also got engaged recently, which I have yet to remark upon here, so here it is. I’ll be getting hitched in August to the sweetest sack o’ sugar to dance upon this earth.
- And finally, check out my latest endeavor: 31 Days, 31 Ideas, wherein I’ll be braindumping all my ideas to change the Jewish future over the course of 31 days, beginning January 1st.
Happy New Year!

Check out JTA’s new blog on Jewish philanthropy, authored by staff writer Jacob Berkman, which I named, conceptualized, and art directed. It’s called The Fundermentalist, a riff on 1920s magic motifs, and it’s hilarious.

A growing work force of home-office laborers and entrepreneurs, armed with computers and smartphones and wired to the hilt, are toiling under great physical and emotional stress created by the around-the-clock Internet [...]

Hankering for some Mobius bloggage? After a nearly seven month hiatus, I’ve returned to the field, albeit mildly, on JTA’s blog The Telegraph. Do check up.
And never you worry: I won’t be discussing politics.
