Substacks I love

Check these out

My friend Jill the Liberal Jew - most of her content is not paywalled, but I posted a link to one that was. You can find her here.

Holly the Math Nerd, who writes less about politics than she used to but writes very insightful stuff. You can find her homepage here. I love her most recent post about New Year’s Resolutions. She always has something to say that I find I can put into practice in my life.

Daniel Gordis: Israel from the Inside. My friend Arnie in Jerusalem knew Daniel Gordis’ grandfather. Then again, my friend Arnie knows everyone in Israel and seems to know about half the Jews in the US. Gordis made the interesting observation in his blog today that Israel does not have cancel culture like the US. I’d love to hear more about that.

Future of Jewish, written by my friend Joshua Hoffman with lots of guest posts. Lots of great stuff here, hard hitting and down to earth.

Mark Oppenheimer, my old college friend, who also writes for Tablet.

The Big No from my friend Annie Gottlieb. Politically Non-binary!

Celia Paddock’s Jotting in Purple.

And who can forget Eve Barlow’s Blacklisted! The toughest Zionist out there, Eve was blacklisted from the music journalism industry when she spoke out about antisemitism. She writes stuff that is so spot on and so brutally honest that it’s hard for some people to read, but I hope you will read her and support her work. I would not be the person I am without Eve. She gives me courage every day. I can not NOT write in support of Israel and the Jewish people everywhere because of Eve. Never give up!

Those are just some that I love. There are more! Please feel free to post a link to your Substack or other writings if you write!
