Resources
Kol Echad is dedicated to lifelong learning -- in a deep, passionate way. So, here is a list of online resources for continuing your Jewish journey.
Do you want to know what is going on in the Jewish world?
Commentary magazine -- yes, it's politically conservative, but the articles are always great -- even if you don't agree with them. http://www.commentarymagazine.com/
The Forward is American Jewry's foremost weekly newspaper -- an English version of the Yiddish newspaper Der Forvertz. The coverage of arts and culture cannot be beat. http://www.forward.com/
Jewish Telegraph Agency -- the foremost web site for up to the hour Jewish news. It's like a Jewish Reuters. http://www.jta.org
The New Republic -- true, it's not specifically about Judaism and Jewish matters, but invariably there is something that is relevant to Jews, especially about Israel. The editor, Martin Peretz, has a great blog on the site called "The Spine." www.tnr.com
Jewcy.com -- the hippest daily web site about Judaism. Edgy and sometimes irreverent. www.jewcy.com
Tablet -- the best coverage of Jewish culture on the net. www.tabletmag.com
Moment magazine has been around for decades and always has something interesting in it. Check it out at momentmag.com.
How about Jewish books?
You can't go wrong at www.amazon.com
Borders Bookstore -- http://www.borders.com/
Jewish Lights -- the best publisher of Jewish books in America -- because they produce books that change lives and help people. http://www.jewishlights.com
How about the best web site for Jewish music, culture and comedy?
Check out the website and blog for Cantor Jeff Klepper http://www.jeffklepper.com Jeff is one of my oldest friends and one of American Judaism's most talented and creative voices. His site is an absolute gold mine.
