[Shefa] New Israeli Newspaper & Thoughts On Gay/Lesbian Rabbinical Students in Israel & Beyond

Shalom all,

Two quick pieces:

1. David Horovitz, former editor-in-chief of The Jerusalem Post, has started a new online newspaper, The Times of Israel ( http://www.timesofisrael.com/ ). Aside from all the great things about online newspapers, it also has the option of letting nearly anyone write original op-ed/blog pieces for the site.

2. I figured I would share an adaptation of the devar torah that I shared last week with the Schechter Recommendations Committee. Among other things, this piece focuses on my thoughts regarding gay and lesbian rabbis: http://blogs.timesofisrael.com/are-we-ready-to-meet-god-in-new-places/

Kol tuv,
Jonah Rank
