As the Jewish new year is upon us, I've been searching for meaning and joy and I've been finding that in a book called "Superman Is Jewish?" which is about Superman, yes, and Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster of course, but so much more...

It's about the history of the comic book format, of art, of comic book values, myths and stories, about Jewish values, understanding of the book, and of encoded messages, of silly satire and deeply moving stories. It's a laugh and an academic dive through the history of what made comic books.

If you're Jewish and you like superheroes, this book will give you joy.

If you're not Jewish and you like superheroes, this book will give you an appreciation for the history and the Jewishness of the genre.

I love my goyische nesting partner.

Her: "Imagine if someone had the first name Israel, and the last name Chai" (pronounced like tea)

Me: *Laughing my ass off*

Her: "Hello! I Am Israel Chai!"

Me: *Laughs harder*

#JewishJoy

Big, big news coming in the next few days.

I don't wanna spoil the surprise, or jinx it because I do need to put in the work now and technically it could fall through up until it's done, but I'm very excited to share it with you all when I am able.
