I read this over Rosh Hashana

To be fair I didn’t finish the whole sefer.

I read the first 3 topics (Yom Tov, Rosh Hashana, and Aseres Ymei Teshuva).

Also, full disclosure, I learn this every year for each Jewish holiday. It’s the best overview out there if each Jewish holiday.

⚠️ It’s in Hebrew

Rav Zevin is under-appreciated.

He was a masterful writer, the sweetest clearest Hebrew in the world. He draws upon all schools of Jewish thought and weaves together masterful essays.

Even those who appreciate him, still under-appreciate him.

“The precedent for this is: we always innovate if some aspect of Yahadus becomes meaningless.”

~Dr. S. Leiman on musical selichos

@RabbiJoeShmoe

Special thank you to @RabbiJoeShmoe for sharing this with me.

Dr. Leiman is a renowned historian who treasures custom and tradition.

Not every innovation makes sense. I know this. And he certainly knows this.

But to say there is no precedent for any such innovations is simply not the case in Jewish history.

Which superhero has the best villains?

(This is an Elul poll…I’m testing something)

My theory:

A superhero is only as good as their rogue’s gallery.

There’s this really beautiful and sweet @phish song called Backwards Down the Number Line.

Just learned that the lyrics were first sent to @treyanastasio by Tom Marshall as a birthday poem when Trey was in isolation following rehab.

Normalize friends sending birthday poems.❤️

“Music had kept us together even throughout that silence.”

~Tom Marshall

This is such a beautiful story.

Here’s a link to the story as told by Trey and Tom on Alive Again.

I read this over Shabbos.

@YehudahMirsky

This incredible work by @YehudahMirsky is based on his earlier dissertation, which I also had the chance to read. Both remarkable, though there are many updates that make this worth reading even if you’ve peeked at his PhD.

The book was published by my friends at @ASP_Boston!

In many ways this book was the perfect compliment to what I read last week.

Rav Isaac HaLevi projected his institutional ideals on the ideas surrounding the formation of the Talmud.

Rav Kook, who corresponded with him, did something similar with modernity and mysticism.

**Five Towns flip-out girl walks into shul Tisha Ba’av night**

https://twitter.com/pagesix/status/1402321413369958405

I feel like there was a brief window I could have convinced my niece to wear this on Tisha Ba’av

“They’re like mournful but cute. Very tisha ba’av.”
