Di Freye Froy: April 2007

The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off." Gloria Steinem. Wednesday, April 11, 2007. We're Back to This Shit? The April issue of Moment magazine. Theological literature, which can feature only in a later, non-ceremony, this is a huge load of bunk. Horse-hooey, to take my cue from Molly Ivins. The Salem witch trials? People were regularly excommunicated- not to mention executed- for religious transgressions. This is seventh-grade social studies stuff, guys. James Madison, who, in addi...

The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off." Gloria Steinem. Thursday, September 28, 2006. Dear Lieberman Ad, Kindly Shut Up. I've been surprised by the number of Republican ads appearing in these papers, from San Fransisco to Indiana to NY's very own Jewish Week. There's the Jimmy Carter ad, which I think is silly because it's so decontextualised, although I understand why it upset people. (Check it out here: http:/ www.rjchq.org/news.asp? The Blood of Abraham. Joe Lieberman has, for a...

The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off." Gloria Steinem. Thursday, November 30, 2006. I try not to be bothered by this bullshit, but the fight over War on Christmas. I don't know. I do know that when people tell me that America was founded directly upon Judeo-Christian codes of morality, I want to ask them if they've ever heard of the Enlightenment. Smith? The movement that planted the seed of "We hold these truths to be self-evident" and engendered the rise of modern nationalism?

The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off." Gloria Steinem. Sunday, December 17, 2006. 1) Big ups to de little yout'. I saw Matisyahu in concert last night (with my parents! 2) I know this is old news, but I was thinking about Dennis Prager and his ridiculous rant about Keith Ellison. Recently (check out Jewschool or pretty much any J-blog for many vitrolic commentaries). All I have to say is Article Six, Section Three. Posted by Di Freye Froy at 8:07 AM.

The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off." Gloria Steinem. Monday, May 21, 2007. The Big Not Getting It. Two important e-reads have passed my desk in the last few days, and since I have a professional obligation to report on both of them, I'd like just one minute to vent. The first is " The Continuity of Discontinuity. Playing off Rosh Hodesh: It's a Girl Thing! Continuity of Discontinuity" is a long. When Hillel published its report on Millenials. When my bosses want to know about ne...

The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off." Gloria Steinem. Monday, October 30, 2006. A Jewish Woman Among Jewish Men. Or, An Unusual Situation. I spent tonight alternating between Rabbi Jeremy and Philip Roth. Quite the whiplash of Jewish masculinity have I. We learned from this text (among many). I'm not 100% sure that I can decipher the Hebrew attribution, so I'll come back and edit another day:. Not to mention intellectually fulfilling, and such are the creature comforts I seek.

The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off." Gloria Steinem. Friday, January 19, 2007. I know: it's not what people expect to hear about from a raging, raving feminist. But I think the (de/re)construction of masculinity is definitely. By women and the non-gender-normative. It's sad, really, and something better be done soon, because the options are pretty limited for the dudes out there. The Jewish Woman in America. Effeminate, small, thin, pale, bookish, meek, etc. (Not to mention ...

The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off." Gloria Steinem. Friday, March 23, 2007. After the warm-and-fuzzy vibes of that last post, please allow me to take one moment to say this: the folks at AIPAC have gone fully friggin' crazy. Seriously. So say the good people at JewsOnFirst. And so say I. They invited Pastor John Hagee of Christians United for Israel. To speak- check out the first part of his speech:. We Jews can take a breather! To keep you entertained.

The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off." Gloria Steinem. Monday, February 26, 2007. Conferences Coming Out My Ears. But damn, they're all so good. Tonight, I went to one panel of the excellent "A Jewish Feminist Mystique? Jewish Women in Postwar America" conference, co-organised by the incredible Rachel Kranson. Tonight's presentation was about growing up in the '50s, and it was awesome. 1) Cultural Jewish Identity Say What? Take it all to the internet. Moments sort of en masse.
