As a health precaution on this the third day of New York's first heat wave of 2010 I will break with my usual plugs to go out and enjoy the Big Apple's Jewish cultural offerings and instead suggest that you, my readers, stay home in air-conditioning and watch Jewish videos. If you have a 1080dpi HDTV and know how to connect your computer to it you'll enjoy them all the more. (Apologies to my less affluent readers who have neither air-conditioning nor flat screen TVs).As a health precaution on this the third day of New York's first heat wave of... more

In Monday's article I introduced the The Jewish-American Marriage Oral History Project. In honor of Brooklyn Pride's 14th Annual Pride Celebration this week the first Jewish-American couple whose interview will appear in this column is a Brooklyn lesbian couple, Mindi Wernick and Malkie Grozalsky, whom I interviewed in their Windsor Terrace, Brooklyn apartment two years and ten months ago.

In previous articles last May and July I discussed Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition's (BWAC) Spring and Summer exhibits noting the mixed but generally quite good quality of the art, its affordability, the diversity of styles and backgrounds of the artists, and that Jewish artists are somewhat overrepresented. All of which is also true of BWAC's Fall 2009 Show: The Words of Color that opens on Saturday and which I previewed on Sunday.
In the 1980s many artists incorporated texts into their visual art in ways that were sometimes self-indulgent, often polemical, and sometimes both. In this exhibit some artists integrate texts into the work and others place the text on the side as a kind of commentary reminiscent of our sacred texts.In previous articles last May and July I discussed Brooklyn Waterfront Artists... more

This Jewish white rapper brings a truly new sound to music while incorporating the bible into his lyrics. Not only are the beats catchy but the rap itself is good. This is a must see! Time to breakdown those stereotype walls and believe in the possibility that even a Jewish-white guy can bring it!This Jewish white rapper brings a truly new sound to music while incorporating the... more

So let's see if we get this straight: A balding, rather dorky-looking governor who ran in 2006 on a platform of "cleaning up" politics has been caught texting a high-priced hooker service, employing prostitutes for the past six months?

Nathan Zuckerman, the protagonist of many a Roth novel, returns in this latest tome. Apparently, this one is "latter-day Roth at his intricately thoughtful best, and a vivid reminder of why a dystopian satirical fantasy like "The Plot Against America" was comparatively weak."
