Blessings on the launch. I am all in favor of innovative, embodied, and creative forms of worship and spiritual expression That engage more than just our eyes and ears with words and melodies. It’s not clear to me from Your introduction if the publication is ideologically antizionist or that’s just part of your respective personal ideological identity. And is this going to be a place for all forms of creative liturgical expression - including new /old expressions of the jewish love for and sense of belonging to eretz yisrael (as opposed to the land belonging the Zionist Jews.)? Or not? Promoting all Jews in their relationships with the holy one another, humankind, and all life on earth that shares the same Life Force - yay! Promoting antizionism, which I personally think is the wrong way to support Palestinian peoples and peoplehood — boo.
For years, I’ve been steadily telling my young teen that the day school Jewish Studies classes that pushed him into total disengagement were not only badly done but also inaccurate and that actual Jewish Studies are packed with the very history, psychology, culture, and wild speculation that he loves best. For two years, he has not been able to bring himself to believe me. He saw the cover for this new journal, read the byline, and actually started asking questions about Jewish history, scholarship, and thought again. Kol haKavod.
I am so joyful to see this new journal! For the past year I have been studying asherot and creating art celebrating asherot. You can see my work on stevenaltarescu.com
What is moving to me is the celebration of beauty and form in the natural world and in the human creative world as a manifestation of holiness and the Divine
