(Birthday) JPP is 10 Years Old
At some point around or a bit before the summer, I stopped writing here about “actual” things like politics, Covid, and Israel. There was more I am wanting to say about the “reality” or “surreality” of religion, animism, God, and … Continue reading
(Birthday) JPP is 9 Years Old (2020)
JPP turned 9 years old this month. It being a birthday, I will not say anything about the end of 2020, an ugly and angry year of social isolation and psychic miasma after 5 fearful years of Trump –except to … Continue reading
Rav Naftali Tzvi Weiss (Auschwitz Album)
In America there’s no such thing as Holocaust Rememberance Day, but Twitter constitutes a country of its own. That is where I found this photograph of Rav Naftali Tzvi Weiss, Rosh Yeshiva in Bilke, and his students waiting for selection … Continue reading
(Birthday) JPP is 7 Years Old
JPP turned 7 years old the other week, which is a nice number, and rather remarkable about what for me stands out as the passage of time. Next year, I think I run out of NYC subway lines with which … Continue reading

4 Years Old Jewish Philosophy Place
Last year at anniversary time, I complained about the way politics banged up rudely here at the blog. It came as something of a surprise, but given the war in Gaza, there was no way around it. “Thanks to the war,” the … Continue reading
Betty Crocker Jewish Philosophy
Brilliant piece, which you can read here, in the NYT Sunday Magazine by Tamar Adler about the Betty Crocker food phenomenon as exemplified by the 1971 Betty Crocker Recipe Card Library (with photographs by Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari). In a private … Continue reading
Our Aesthetic Categories Are Zany, Cute, & Interesting (Sianne Ngai)
Last semester for Theory Reading Group with Gail Hamner in the Department of Religion we read Sianne Ngai’s Our Aesthetic Categories: Zany, Cute, Interesting. I don’t think I’ve read anything of late that has so shifted my perception regarding the … Continue reading
Jewish Philosophy Place 3 Years Old (Birthday)
JPP is now 3 years old, plus or minus a couple of days. And frankly, it’s been a miserable year. A friend-colleague recently commented that he didn’t think I’d touch political problems on the blog. Perhaps that had something to … Continue reading
