Kesher Talk

Jewish World Review: I have always been confused as to the point of JWR. They published some of my articles over the last couple of years, but I never understood any rhyme or reason for why one was chosen over another. Nor why almost every columnist you have ever heard of is published there as well. I think that Rod Dreher (writing on the Wall Street Journal Taste page) is being too fawning. But maybe he sees something that I don't. JWR is good for the occaisional interesting Rabbinical column, but most of the columnists are found elsewhere. I never really "got" what made it distinctly Jewish. Well, now I know it is run by an Orthodox Jew (and he would probably have the same criticisms about Kesher Talk). But I still am not convinced...
