Turning the Tide: April 2006
http://turningthetideblog.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
Thoughts on Life, Israel, and the Jewish World. Monday, April 10, 2006. Book Review: Postville - A Clash of Cultures in Heartland America. What happens when Brooklyn Lubavitchers move to rural Iowa to open America's largest kosher slaughterhouse? To call it a clash of cultures is to put it mildly: the two groups could not have been more different. Bloom spends most of the book talking to people on both sides of the divide and finds each side simmering with hatred for the other. Thursday, April 06, 2006.

Turning the Tide: August 2005

Thoughts on Life, Israel, and the Jewish World. Thursday, August 18, 2005. As I perused the usual assortments of websites and blogs this morning, I hit upon something interesting on my friend Dan's site, Orthodox Anarchist (http:/ www.orthodoxanarchist.com/. That's why Israel advocacy must make every effort to reach people in those groups where anti-Israel groupthink is at its strongest. Because when people encounter diverse ideas, they become less dependent on their groups's ideas and become less wi...

Turning the Tide: November 2005
http://turningthetideblog.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html
Thoughts on Life, Israel, and the Jewish World. Thursday, November 24, 2005. The New Political Landscape. We vote a lot around here. The last time was the fourth time in seven years ('96, '99, '01, and '03). It seems so long ago now. At the end of 2004, we'd gone a full calendar year without voting or dissolving the government. We're finally out of the Netanyahu-Barak era and way past the Peres era. (What would happen if Peres ran for office unopposed? Would he still have to lose? I also wonder if anyone...

New Arab View of Israel. The always-lucid Ehud Ya'ari writes that Arab views toward Israel are shifting in the post-disengagement era. Instead of pushing for a massive attack on the Jewish state, some Arab thinkers are now predicting the state is nearing collapse on its own. Read the whole story. Friday, September 02, 2005.

Turning the Tide: May 2006
http://turningthetideblog.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html
Thoughts on Life, Israel, and the Jewish World. Thursday, May 25, 2006. The National Review seems to think so. Check out their list of the top 50 'Conservative' rock songs here. Bob Dylan's pro-Israel "Neighborhood Bully" comes in 12th. But looking at that list got me thinking. So rock is dead; long live rock. It has gone the way of be-bop - still walking around, breathing the fumes remaining from its creative period. But who needs it anyway. Hip hop, for anyone who hasn't heard, is today's r...If human ...

Thoughts on Life, Israel, and the Jewish World. Sunday, March 26, 2006. Land of a Thousand Dances. Choose the letter that best describes the picture:. A) Baseball hires wrestling commissioner to spruce up national pastime. B) Why slide into home when you can dive onto it? C) The Red Sox new gimmick: players circle bases on their hands after hitting home run. D) Twisting body into that old Indian symbol commandeered by the Nazis is harder than it looks.

Turning the Tide: July 2005
http://turningthetideblog.blogspot.com/2005_07_01_archive.html
Thoughts on Life, Israel, and the Jewish World. Friday, July 29, 2005. Book Review: One People, Two Worlds. That's why the aptly named. One People, Two Worlds. In contrast, Reinman wants to show how far Reform has drifted from the sources and how shakey his colleague's knowledge of Torah really is. He completely rejects. The rabbis stated at the start they did not expect to overcome the gaps between them, and they were right. The differences in their views remain acute. But I, for one, am gratefu...There...
