Is Jewish Blogging a Radical Act?

Posted on Saturday 29 July 2006

Like I said, I’m at BlogHer this weekend in San Jose, California.  I missing Shabbat, but at the same time this conference is a great way to spend Shabbat.  I’m learning, I’m connecting with people, I’m telling my Jewish story to people who might not know any Jewish stories.

I’m in a session called “Mommy Blogging is a Radical Act” and it is making me wonder, “Is Jewish Blogging a Radical Act?”  Is putting our Jewish stories online radical?  risky?  cutting edge? 

Or is it traditional?  The Jews are writers and storytellers.  Is blogging the new mishna?  I don’t want to write too much more, but put it out there…

Is Jewish Blogging a Radical Act or is Jewish Blogging the New Mishna?  You tell me.

    Personal Midrash.

    We can update “a natrion of priests” to “a nation of rabbis.”

    More like a vast, incomplete, unredacted Layman’s Talmud… Everybody’s got a commentary…
