@MBonvoyAssist I have a room reservation. I requested a crib. The hotel doesn’t have any. Where will my kids sleep

@endthehiding @BostonGlobe It's disturbing how you brag about destroying innocent people's lives. They had just as much right as you to be here.

@benzgreenfield I’m glad that you believe that money allows people to spout abhorrent theologies that are antithetical to our existence as Jews. Personally being a person’s pawn in an apocalyptic end game gives me pause. Not to mention that he is explicitly homophobic and islamophobic.

@benzgreenfield Is it a lot to ask that an ally is not antisemitic? And given a prominent role at a rally against antisemitism?

[David Magazine Malamud @dmmalamud]

@benzgreenfield When the leader of Christians United for Israel (who is speaking at this rally) says Hitler was sent by God to get the Jews to Israel, I’m going to be a little sus of Christian zionists.

I find the use of “shalom” by non-Jews, especially in theological discourse, pretty darned annoying. It’s appropriation, it’s gesturing toward “Judeo-Christian” nonsense, it’s (usually) anachronistic, and like y’all don’t have your own words?

@portersf Not gonna lie, that is my most proud contribution to the academy

[David Magazine Malamud @dmmalamud]

With a heavy heart, I’ve decided to apply for my terminal masters and leave academia for the time being. I’m very grateful for my wonderful advisors and peers that I’ve gotten to work with along the way. (1/3)

[David Magazine Malamud @dmmalamud]

I am working as the BC Hillel Advisor, a role that allows me to work with and advise undergraduates as well as take classes at Hebrew College. While rabbinic school might be down the line, I’ve been a full time student for the past 21 years and I’m excited to take a break!

[David Magazine Malamud @dmmalamud]

However, I’ve realized that the PhD program, especially during a global pandemic, was simply not a healthy place for me anymore. I’ve truly enjoyed taking classes and serving as a TA, but I’ve realized I can pursue these passions outside of academia. (2/3)

Check out the latest video I wrote for Andrew and Religion for Breakfast! It was a blast writing it and working with Andrew.

You may have heard about the Book of Enoch....but what about the SECOND Book of Enoch? Watch the latest RFB video on 2 Enoch: https://t.co/TpQuOPlryM
