Kesher Talk

Shepping naches. I just picked up the June issue of the Blueprint, a free calendar listing tabloid mostly for young adult Jews in Manhattan (although they list events of interest to us creakey geezers as well). And what do I see but a column on Jewish blogs (it had to happen, right?) and what do I see heading up the list of recommended blogs but Kesher Talk.

The article, which not on their website, says:

Kesher Talk ranks among the "greatest hits" of Jewish blogs. Editor-in-Chief Judith Weiss and her team of contributors update the blog frequently with posts on a wide range of Jewish issues, indluing those that are frequently covered by other bloggers, such as anti-semitism and Israel, plus topics less frequently addressed, such as the Kabbalah. All Jewish blogs seem to lead here.

What can I say? I'm kvelling. The very next blog he mentions is Little Green Footballs.

. . . a blog that most followers affectionately refer to as LGF. Thousands respond to the polls; dozens oftern respond to various postings. They keep tabs on what Islamic militants (and everyone else) are saying about the Jews.

That's refreshing: a review of LGF that doesn't call it racist or inciteful to hate crimes.

The other blogs reviewed are Hasidic Rebel, Klezmer Shack, JewSchool, and Marduk's Babylonian Musings. Next month he will review Israeli blogs.
