"#Jews have lived continuously in #Belgium for 800 years, and an estimated 30,000 live there today. They are no longer being made to feel welcome.
How can we say this? Because the country is going ahead with the #prosecution of two #mohels, those who perform ritual #circumcision, a #Jewish rite mandated by the #Torah and performed since the time of #Abraham.
You can’t want Jews in your country and outlaw #ritualcircumcision. The two are mutually exclusive.
Circumcision is not some obscure or optional ritual in #Judaism. It is among the oldest and most defining commandments in Jewish life, a covenantal act performed for millennia under empires, kingdoms, dictatorships, and democracies alike.
A country that effectively criminalizes that practice is not merely regulating medicine; it is placing itself in direct conflict with the continued flourishing of Jewish communal life."

When Jews were expelled from the Iberian peninsula in the 15th century, the Ottoman Empire sent ships to bring them into their empire in the Eastern Mediterranean.
That is how Thessaloniki in Greece grew its large Sephardic Jewish community, until World War II.

"#Judaism has long had an ambivalent and at times contradictory approach to #astrology, the practice of discerning the influence of celestial bodies on human destiny.
On the one hand, the claim that the stars exert a direct influence on individuals and world events would seem to cut against the core #Jewish belief in #freewill. The #Torah also forbids efforts to foretell the future. However, #Jews throughout history have believed that the heavenly bodies influence events on earth. References to astrology are found throughout the #Talmud, and several works of astrology were subsequently penned by major #rabbinic figures. Jewish thinkers across history have tried to reconcile these two beliefs, while others have rejected astrology outright."

"#Returning, #NicholasLemann’s eloquent, achingly honest account of life within a tightly knit #German-#Jewish subculture whose collective response to #antisemitism was to fixate on fitting in with #gentiles. So axiomatic was the #NewOrleans community’s #assimilationism, and so profound its disdain for Eastern #European #Jews, that #Lemann never tasted lox until after he left home for college. And yet, well into adulthood, Lemann reevaluated, and rejected, the tradeoffs of his family forebears, in favor of a #kosher home, membership in a #minyan and #Shabbat observance.
Hence the #book’s title. Hence, too, its element of surprise: This deeply personal story is not what you might expect from Lemann, a practitioner of cool-headed “neoliberal” policy #journalism in its 1980s heyday, who went on to become a #NewYorker staff #writer, dean of the #Columbia #Journalism School and #author of four books on U.S. political and social #history."

"The pub bookshelf in #Painswick, #England, was stocked with #books bound in handsome jewel tones. It seemed charming and innocuous, until I spotted a 1934 hardback with the alarmingly simple title of #TwelveJews.
Curious, I opened it.
“The quarrel between the #Jews and the rest of civilisation has been kept alive by two forces: one, the peculiar character of the Jews, and the other, the antipathy of #Christian or non-#Jewish society,” the introduction read. “The one has induced the other.”
Um, what?
As disturbing as that claim was — it’s such a pity that Jews are too weird for Christian society to tolerate! — I found it even more troubling that the #author, #HectorBolitho, who conceived of and edited the #essay collection, had obviously written with a profound wish to defend Jews against prejudice. He hoped the #book would help ameliorate the long quarrel he identified, especially in light of the already unfolding “enforced exodus of the Jews from #Germany.”

"For thousands of years, #Jews were persecuted, exiled, and even killed for performing one ritual: #circumcision. Empires banned it. Tyrants criminalized it. During the #Holocaust, it could reveal a #Jewish man’s identity and cost him his life. Yet generation after generation, Jews refused to abandon #britmilah (circumcision). Why did this ancient ritual matter so much? Explore the powerful #history, #spirituality, and resilience behind one of #Judaism’s oldest traditions."

“#Jews Are #Magic,” opening this month at #YIVO’s #Manhattan headquarters, explores the #Jewish fascination with #mysticism, #fortunetelling, #amulets, #psychics and #occult practices. While the exhibit reaches back to the #biblical and #Talmudic periods, its main focus is on the mid-19th century to the early 20th century. In the face of increasing urbanization, oppression in #Russia and the pull of #assimilation, Jews in Eastern #Europe and #NewYork’s Lower East, no less than their non-Jewish neighbors, found solace in the occult.
“In this time period, when people commonly think that sort of magic is getting left at the wayside and people are becoming more modern, they’re just as engaged with these unseen realities as they were beforehand,” said #SamuelGlauber, a specialist on the Jewish occult and adviser to the exhibit.
And it wasn’t just the huddled masses. Writers, intellectuals and scientists were fascinated by the #supernatural..."

Germany becomes the destination of choice for Jews leaving Israel.
In 2024, 82 700 Israelis left the country, an all-time record. In Europe, Germany is benefiting the most, attracting 18% of this emigration.
Settling in Germany is facilitated by reparation laws that give descendants of Holocaust victims easier access to German nationality. Since 2022, passport applications have surged, despite a rise in anti-Semitism in the country.

I typically only share Israel news if it has significant implications for the diaspora. This does. Also DellaPergola is a brilliant demographer and does super cool stuff.
"An analysis released this week predicts that, within the next 10 years, #Israel could become the home for a majority of the world’s #Jews, a change which, according to the new report, will “redefine the meaning of #Jewishpeoplehood.”
On Wednesday, the Institute for Jewish #Policy #Research (#JPR) published “The #Jewish People in 2126: #Demography, Identity, and the Future of a Global #Minority,” a 22-page paper by #SergioDellaPergola, a professor emeritus and former chairman of #HebrewUniversity’s Avraham Harman Institute of Contemporary #Jewry who now serves as the #London-based #thinktank’s president for its #European #JewishDemography Unit."

“Out From Under” is an ambitious and worthy #sequel to “The Evil Inclination.” Part of Lev will always feel #Orthodox in the #Brooklyn style he grew up with, but through Rachel, Rabbi Louise and #novel’s broader cast of memorable characters, he becomes open to a more flexible, yet still committed, #religious path.
With rising #antisemitism, #Victor believes both #novels carry the message that “we need to have the courage to make #Judaism meaningful in all aspects of our lives. Deep engagement with #Jewish learning and observance is critical to survival.”
In fact, outside of #Orthodox #publishing, few contemporary #Jewishnovels probe the lives of #Jews searching for meaningful religious engagement, especially from an Orthodox perspective. This makes Victor’s compulsively readable #novels that much more relevant in today’s world."

"Western #Jews have lately been sensing the end of what has been dubbed our “Golden Age” or “A #Jewish Century.” Looking back longingly at the past hundred years, we question whether the next century will be as kind to us and our children as the last one was.
It’s a reasonable question, but as I’ve noticed, it tends to be asked more often by #American #Ashkenazi Jews than by those whose families came from #Muslim lands across the #MiddleEast and #NorthAfrica, widely referred to as #Sephardic Jews.
There is a profound difference between how Western #AshkenaziJews from the lands of the cross and Western #SephardicJews from the lands of the crescent are experiencing this moment, and in that difference lie competing visions of the Western dream, rooted in each community’s pre-modern-day-West history."
