Shalom friends,
Rest assured that I am diving deep into my first topic for this blog, and I'm already learning some pretty amazing things. I can't wait to share it with you as soon as I'm able to wrap my brain around enough to make for both interesting reading and a somewhat coherent perspective/interpretation.
But in the meantime, I wanted to take a break and say thank you for the great ideas with which you showered me when I put out a call for ideas for what to name this fledgling project! It was tough to choose which one would become the new official blog name, but I am ready to reveal the winner...
Going forward, and thanks to the creativity of my friend and fellow Hebraeophile** Merav Fine, I'm going to call this blog "Jewbilation: for the love of all things Israelite." It's a pretty perfect title because it not only captures how I feel when writing and researching for this blog, but it also has hints of all of the wonderful and goofy components of Jewish-ness that I think are so great - the many names we have for ourselves, the diversity of who we are, and the fact that it just feels good to celebrate it all (and there's a tie to Biblical harvest practices, too - not too shabby!).
Many thanks, Merav! :)
**Not a real word. Yet.
