Scribe | The Ethiopian Jewish holiday of Sigd is more relevant than ever

On Wednesday (the 29th day of Cheshvan), Jews from Ethiopia celebrated Sigd. HT to Joel-Ruthie Simon of Yeshivat Chovevei Torah for the reminder. Click the link to learn more.

A holiday born out of the experience of a long-forgotten Black Jewish community, Sigd is an opportunity to confront the racism in our midst.

When the race is tight, election night coverage is tricky … particular at a weekly newspaper which many will read 2 or 3 days after it's published.

When the polls closed in Israel at 4 pm NY time on Tuesday, exit polls reported Bibi's coalition won with 62 seats (so our draft headline read, "King Bibi tops 61" — 61 being the minimum number required to form a government).

But as uncertainly crept in, and our "drop dead" deadline neared, we went with the wood pictured here, along with an analysis by JNS' Jerusalem bureau chief that both reports Bibi's lead (a lead which the actual vote will not change whether or not he ends up forming a government) and also explains the reasons why a definitive win wasn't (at least yet) a lock.

The reporting certainly holds up today; hopefully it will remain so for those catching up on the week's news on Shabbat.

Sunday's NY Times article hit a raw nerve. Reaction to it — and to the NYS Board of Regents vote on Tuesday — are featured on The Jewish Star's cover today.

Our top story provides basic info on the new Regents regulations; the middle story has communal reaction (mostly, negative, but with a positive note at the end); at page bottom, there's JNS editor-in-chief Jonathan Tobin, a vehement critic of the Times and left-wing politics who found merit in the Times article.

Tobin writes: "As much as it would be easy to dismiss the story … there is more here than cultural or religious bias. … The idea that any outside scrutiny is an attack on Judaism is not an argument that can be reasonably defended."

Tobin: Even lying Times got this right

>>> Even JNS.org editor-in-chief Jonathan Tobin, a vehement critic of the Times and left-wing politics, found merit in the Times article.

In a column published on the cover of this week’s Jewish Star, he wrote that “as much as it would be easy to dismiss the story … there is more here than cultural or religious bias.”

“The idea that any outside scrutiny is an attack on Judaism is not an argument that can be reasonably defended,” Tobin wrote.

After more than a century of biased reporting about Israel, contempt for Zionism and Israel, and a lack of interest in reporting about anti-Semitism, readers are right to regard any coverage of …

Re today’s attack on Salman Rushdie.

In 1989, Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini issued a fatwa and put a price on Rushdie’s head (which, JNS reports, has risen, with private funding, to $3.3 million). The Riverdale Press editorialized in the writer’s defense. Then the newspaper’s office was firebombed.

I think we should all boycott The Jewish Star until they post an apology for publishing what I can only call a slanderous, untrue, Chillul Hashem letter about one of our great Rabbis (as well as Doctors) Rabbi Glatt.

This publication may think they provided a service to their readers. You wonder why there is anti-semitism in the world, well articles like this are the reason! To post this article during the holiest time of the year is a crime.

I would think there are better forums to hash this out in. Publishing a one way/one opinion/ no fact checking/ no rebuttal article is no different than a publication printing an article about how the Holocaust never happened and giving it credence. It is irresponsible and will only divide.

Also how about the fact that Rabbi Glatt has been in our community for 30 years+ and is a top infectious disease specialist. If you are going to publish an article like that dont you think the publication should have offered him the opportunity to answer instead of blind sighting him like they did.

I have lived in this community since 1976 and I am ashamed. I am not the most religious person in the world, I tell my family all the time there is more to being a Jew than just davening 3 times a day-you have to be a mench as well. This article and this publication should be ashamed of itself for giving these cowards a forum to voice their opinion-all they did this week was to fuel the flames of anti Semitism. So congratulations. Stand up is shul-pray and shuckle and kneel-it doesn't mean anything as that is not what true religion is all about!
Why does the Jewish Media have no problem in firing Christians who use the racist N-word but when one of their own use the racist word REDSKIN, they are silent?
DICTIONARY.COM- N-WORD – Noun, A disparaging offensive contemptuous term used to refer to a black person.
REDSKIN – [Red-skin] Noun, A disparaging offensive contemptuous term used to refer to a North American Indian.
REDSKIN- just like deerskin, rabbit skin, etc. Native Americans were lynched and skin like animals. They hung their bodies up in trees to try to scare Native Americans off their lands. As they scalped them and sold their heads like an animal pelt for money. This is how the name REDSKIN came about. The same way they lynched and cut off Black men’s ge****ls to scare them. -Gregory St. James Mundy-
Why Did Jesus say… Pick Up the Serpent and Drink All Deadly Things?
Why did Jesus tell the rich man… To see Heaven, you must obey the Ten Commandments
and give to the Needy, yet preachers tell you that you are forgiven for your sins?
Why did Jesus say… Don’t call me Good Master for there is none good but God. but later said I am the way and the light, and you can only get to Heaven through me?
If Jesus is God why when he was on the cross, cry out God, God, why have you forsaken me?
If Jesus was dying for our sins (which the Bible never said so) then why would he say God forsaken him?
A God can move mountains and hold back seas, why was Jesus not able to remove a small nail from his hand.
How did Mary walk right pass Jesus and not notice him? Why did his disciples go up to him and ask Stranger, have you seen Jesus?
What really happened to Jesus when he went up on the mountain with Satan?
There are many questions about the Bible and finally there is a book that explains all.
