Okay, kind of mad at the rabbi I'm working with on my conversion. Raised Reform by a patralineal mother, doing a Conservative conversion to join local shul. He never mentioned the "affirmation vs conversion" option and has been very insistent I can't use my parents' name on my Hebrew name. #jewdon what's your take?
Do you have Jewish forebears who were pack peddlers when they first emigrated (to anywhere) from the Pale of Settlement? If so, I'd love to interview you for an essay (for my upcoming book). My email is sarah-einstein at utc dot edu. #mazeldon #jwitter #jewdon #jews #jewish

According to Bing Sidebar, Adolf Hitler was "one of the Greatest leaders the world has ever known," who wrote a book and won some awards.

I promise I don't have it in for Bing - it's my default search engine at work and it is usually fine. But it seems like there is a real problem with filtering out conspiracy theories and white supremacists from the search. Not sure where to take this (I report what I find to Microsoft).

Shameful: "Hitler's rise to power" search... the TOP result is a conspiracy site that claims "The Rockefellers funded Hitler’s election campaign."

Bing is at it again. This time, a search of the Khazar theory returns results from whïte supremacïsts as the two leading results. When will Microsoft stop their search engine from helping to spread bigotry? #mazeldon #jewdon #Jewniverse
A little challah (not Cholla!) - first bake in two months or so.

Not sure how to get this to a target audience - but this is a post on my blog - it is teh d’var Torah (“sermon” teaching on the section of the Torah we read tomorrow) I am giving tomorrow and is about how we heal the crimes of the past when those who committed them are no longer here so that we can all be free to create a better future for all.
