Many things are true. Steve Ditko did struggle socially. Did compartmentalize his life. AND had a close family & friendships spanning decades & replied to every fan letter & channelled his emotions into his pen & is Peter Parker. #Longreads @Longreads rollingstone.com/culture/cul…

Dear fancy literary agents, I am open to writing a book about what the temporary loss of @Sunkist Fruit Gems says about American Jews' ability to accept change. I have connections to every major Jewish leader and years of Jewish longform journo experience. Gimme all your moneys!

If you had told me a year ago that @eJPhil's big breakout story would be about Sunkist Fruit Gems, I absolutely would have believed you because that is entirely on-brand.

Eruvim are anti-assimilation. Easier to go to a Jewish day care if that's what is nearby. Easier to hit a shiva if mourners live a block over. Easier to get invited to Shabbos dinner, blah, blah, blah. Jews of all denominations would benefit from taking them more seriously.

Who among us hasn't whipped one of these as hard as we can at our friend's faces (out of love)?

Thank you @jaydeitcher and @eJPhil for this lovely writeup of Talmud Daily!
To offer an easy intro to the central text of Rabbinic law, Rabbi @DBashIdeas, the founder of @18_forty, recently launched Talmud Daily, a free 40-week, daily video breakdown of the Talmud, which he says he’s treating like a tour through a theme park. ejphil.com/5iqew

Long before @DBashIdeas founded @18_forty, he was a legend in the Wizard Magazine letter pages. For those not in the know, that was the top comic-book magazine, which also helped crash the industry in the '90s. My latest in @eJPhil ejewishphilanthropy.com/talm…

Warning. This piece has nothing to do with comics. But there is a Superman and Batman reference.

For folks who left the Haredi community, the High Holy Days can symbolize both freedom and loneliness. Footsteps helps them cultivate community and create their own traditions, often a blending of the new and the old. My latest in @eJPhil ejewishphilanthropy.com/foot…

10 years ago, Obama was in office, Pokemon Go was all the rage and very little funding went into Jewish day schools. Here's how the day school movement became a focus of philanthropic giving throughout the Jewish world. In @eJPhil ejewishphilanthropy.com/priz…
