Rootless Cosmopolitan: More on Intermarriage (Part 1.5)
http://rokhl.blogspot.com/2015/02/more-on-intermarriage-part-15.html
Dynamic Yiddishkayt for the New Millennium. Thursday, February 19, 2015. More on Intermarriage (Part 1.5). What's been missing from the thousands (millions? Of words written about the Pew survey is any kind of serious critique of that institutional apparatus which surveys, comments on, and claims to lead the group we call American Jews. Why do these so-called leaders keep writing surveys that do little to measure the Jewish lives of actual Jewish Americans? I might even add, whose crisis is it? I've seen...

Dynamic Yiddishkayt for the New Millennium. Friday, October 4, 2013. What Does It Mean To Be Jewish (Outside The Bubble of the American Jewish Institutional World) Part 2. Are you still interested in talking about this Pew report on American Jewry? Good, me too. Let me bring your attention to an excellent blog post by Stanford sociologist Ari Kelman. Kelman is one of the only people (as far as I know) to point out that “ a religious bias was written into the survey itself. 8221; (pg 54), respondents were...

http://rokhl.blogspot.com/2013/10/what-does-it-mean-to-be-jewish-outside.html
Dynamic Yiddishkayt for the New Millennium. Wednesday, October 2, 2013. What Does It Mean To Be Jewish (Outside The Bubble Of The American Jewish Institutional World) Part 1. The Pew Trust recently released a huge survey of the American Jewish population. I've been shocked and dismayed to see the reactions of Jewish communal leaders to this latest report. For example, Jane Eisner, editor in chief of the Forward, was quoted in the New York Times saying she. Before we get to the polemic. Let's go to the nu...

Rootless Cosmopolitan: Why 'Ashkenormativity' Isn't a Thing
http://rokhl.blogspot.com/2015/04/why-isn-thing.html
Dynamic Yiddishkayt for the New Millennium. Tuesday, April 7, 2015. Why Ashkenormativity Isnt a Thing. Maybe you’ve seen it by now, first in New Voices. And then in the Forward. Thanks to author Jonathan Katz, the conflation of 'Ashkenazi' with 'Jewish' is no longer the problem with no name. Now it’s the problem with the really, really awkward name: Ashkenormativity. In ‘Learning to Undo Ashkenormativity. Is a Jewish discourse in which Ashkenazi is the default, one enforced by media, education and other ...

Public opinion surveys some years ago indicated that hardly 18% of American Jews attended religious services at least once a month." - Wil Herberg, 1950. You'll excuse my schadenfreude. But the frenzy around the latest Pew survey has given me a bitter chuckle or two at the expense of our gedolim. Many times I've been informed that the ...

Rootless Cosmopolitan: Life Imitates TV Tropes
http://rokhl.blogspot.com/2015/05/life-imitates-tv-tropes.html
Dynamic Yiddishkayt for the New Millennium. Sunday, May 10, 2015. Life Imitates TV Tropes. Do you guys know about TV Tropes. Anyhoo, whilst noodling through the back streets of TV Tropes I found a couple things which spoke to the non-TV Tropes side of my brain. There's been some discussion lately about the erasure of non-Ashkenazi Jews. How can I argue that 'Ashkenormativity Isn't a Thing' when TV Tropes, for fucks sake, has a whole page devoted to this very idea. All Jews Are Ashkenazi. Which brings us ...
