I'm working on an original translation of the Bible. My goal is to let the words of scripture guide my translation rather than reading a favored theology into the text. As the saying goes, "Where the Bible speaks, we speak, where it is silent, we are silent." In addition to being a formal equivalence, I try to preserve original idioms (with clarification in the footnotes), poetic and metaphorical language, and distinct synonyms (ie. land/ground/dust) where possible.
The text is available under a Creative Commons license. And it is available at a website, and as an ebook, though it is still incomplete.

I am absolutely grinding away at #Hebrew study lately, but I need more listening practice. Anyone have any recommendations for some sort of light #Israeli comedy or something, ideally that I can stream from the US without paying for a whole other streaming service? I feel like most of the options I find are super dark, and there's enough dark stuff hurting my poor brain right now without making my entertainment/language practice about it.
“What a relief!”
You know that feeling when you finally sit down after a long day, kick off your shoes, and take that first sip of tea (or wine—no judgment)? Well, multiply that by a whole week, and that’s the feeling of making it to Shabbat!
Six days of emails, errands, traffic, and ‘I’ll get to it later’s’—and then, just like that, Friday night arrives, and the world slows down. Candles are lit, challah is on the table, and suddenly, life makes sense again.
So, if you’ve been running on caffeine and good intentions all week—what a relief—Shabbat is finally here!
Shabbat Shalom! How are you unwinding this week?
It’s so easy to look at what’s still undone.
What didn’t get finished.
Where you thought you’d be by now.
But this week — before rushing into what’s next —
pause and look around at what is.
What you’ve made it through.
What you’ve learned.
What you’ve built, even in small, quiet ways.
Because momentum doesn’t just come from hustle.
It comes from acknowledging your own strength.
When you focus on what you have — not just materially, but internally —
you remind yourself of what you’re capable of.
And that reminder?
That’s fuel.
That’s forward energy.
So let this weekend be your check-in.
Not just to rest.
But to reflect on how far you've already come.
There is so much more ahead — but you’re not starting from scratch.
You're moving forward with everything you’ve already earned, learned, and become.
Shabbat Shalom
Here’s to starting the next step from a place of real power.

"The ambivalence at the core of #hipster lent itself to what would become hipster #Judaism. Was hipster Judaism a sincere reclamation of an identity otherwise shunned as dorky? (#Hebrew school: dorky. #Jewish communal publications: dorky. Parents wanting you to follow traditions: dorky. Eating different foods and celebrating different holidays than everyone else: dorky.) Or was it an ironic embrace of the dorky?
Nowhere was this ambivalence leaned into more than in the very existence of something called #Heeb, a 2001-2010 print publication recently brought back to digital life by Mik Moore, a Jewish marketer we recently interviewed on Bonjour Chai. It was slur-reclamation, but not the earnest sort. It leaned into the squirming."
Shabbat Shalom & Happy Friday!
It’s finally Friday—time to shake off the week, sip some coffee (or tea?), and slide into that weekend vibe! Whether you’re practicing your Hebrew, planning a delicious Shabbat meal, or just counting down the hours until rest and relaxation, I hope today brings you joy and accomplishment.
Tell me—what’s something good that happened to you this week? Let’s celebrate the little wins together!
Wishing you a wonderful day and a peaceful Shabbat!

Breaking the Silence (on FB):
The following statement was published in #Haaretz’s #Hebrew print edition on Friday, in collaboration with many of our partners in #Israeli civil society.
“Say no to the Israeli government’s policy of death
Tens of thousands of deaths, entire cities razed, millions of human beings emaciated from hunger, hostages abandoned to suffer and die - none of this satisfies the bloodlust of the #Netanyahu-Ben Gvir government.
For the sake of its political survival, and in the name of the war of attrition it declared against the Palestinian people, the Israeli government is prepared to continue committing the gravest crimes.
This is what dictatorship looks like - when a leader is prepared to trade in human blood for his own selfish interests.
It’s time to say loud and clear: We will not continue to follow him on this path of doom.
We all have a duty to resist the Netanyahu-Ben Gvir government’s policy of death.

Is it just me or too filters in modern search engines do not show any discussions on the background of 1488 becoming a unicode for symbol א, aleph? Someone must have tried to dig this story up.
But all I see is a single post on Medium:

Dayenu is a Hebrew word that means, "it would have been sufficient" or "it would have been enough." This Hebrew song is traditionally sung at the Jewish holiday of Passover, at the Seder. Our Jewish Dayenu design is great all year, but especially awesome for Passover! Also available in blue lettering.

People treat these as facts, but they’re what keep learners stuck!
I hear… “More study = speaking will feel natural.” (Yet it only gets harder.)
“No immersion = no real progress.” (So they keep waiting… and never start.)
“I must read/write before speaking.” (Not if speaking is your goal! I’ve solved the ‘how’—just follow my steps.)
These aren’t just myths—they’re roadblocks. Once you learn differently, everything changes.
Which one have you believed? Drop the number below!

My book review of Alan Moore's 'The Moon and Serpent Bumper Book of Magic'. I recommend this good book.
