  1. "In a townhouse in #Greenpoint, #Brooklyn, a gathering for #TuBAv was underway. There was chanting and breathwork, singing and ceremony. Several Brooklyn-based #Jewish communities, including Temple of the Stranger and Lab/ #Shul, had come together for the experience.

    These vibes are usually associated with Eastern traditions, paganism or indigenous American practices; most Westerners who want that form of spirituality go looking for it at Buddhist meditation centers or ayahuasca retreats, forms of engagement more often associated with the 1960s or ’70s #counterculture movement than with a #synagogue.

    But a group of #rabbis, leaders and #spiritual seekers believe drum circles, chanting, #meditation and #mysticism are, in fact, just as core to #Judaism as any #rabbinic text — a sort of lost magic that has impeded vibrant, direct spiritual experience."

  2. Exploring Greenpoint today. Enjoying myself immensely. And am standing in line at Peter Pan Donut and Pastry Shop listening to someone else ask their friend if a "chocolate egg cream" contains eggs. 🥹

    Will report back on the donut but given the line I'm assuming it'll be amazing.

    Greenpoint, Brooklyn, NYC

    The silver Audi in this photo sped down the wrong side of the highway and crashed headfirst into the black sedan sitting to the left that my wife and I were in as ride share passengers. Thankfully, no one died.

  5. Sampling Italian Street Food at Salsa Greenpoint

    It is paradox that although many of the most iconic Italian dishes were created in Naples, Italy, the quintessential food of Naples, its street food, is still largely unknown in Brookl…

  6. Greenpoint Ship Graveyard is the southernmost point on our planet I have ever been to. It’s near Bluff in South Island in New Zealand. The site has been used as a dumping ground for decommissioned and derelict ships since the late 19th century.

    Mary Frost of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle reported that “[t]he NYC Department of Parks planted 200 new trees in Greenpoint and Williamsburg over the past two weeks, with over a thousand more will becoming to [Council] District 33 within two years…” [Brooklyn Daily Eagle, August 11, 2025]. City Councilman Lincoln Restler, who announced the new trees, noted that the young new residents of northern Brooklyn will require maintenance:

    Planting trees is just the first step, Restler added, urging locals to pledge to ‘adopt’ one to water and keep healthy and to check out a tree map showing the newly planted saplings.

    I do not spend much time in either Greenpoint or Williamsburg, although I have written about both on The New Leaf Journal (see e.g., Donut Fender in Greenpoint, Brooklyn and BLOB DYLAN Seen in Williamsburg (May 2025)). But having granted that I do not spend much time that far north, I have enough of a feel for Brooklyn and areas like Greenpoint and the trendier parts of Williamsburg to note a curious omission in Mr. Restler’s statement. Mr. Restler wants residents to work together to water the new trees. I would be concerned about how residents water the new trees. The quality of dog owners and dog behavior in Brooklyn fell off a cliff beginning in 2020 and shows no sign of improving.

    ✧ artworks related to the Black Lives Matter movement ✧

    Many artworks related to the Black Lives Matter movement have been created. These works are seen as a direct tribute to those who have died or more broadly to the movement. Often the pieces are created in the streets as to be more publicly visible. This mural in Greenpoint, Brooklyn lists the names of Af...
