Oy Bay Dragnet

May edition. Did you catch April’s?

• Mishkan Shekhina: new female minyan in the East Bay.
• Israeli: “Google is… ehhhhh… un-American“.
• Egypt does a good job reclaiming the historical artifacts looted from it over the centuries. How come the Jews can’t get back our stolen Judaica and books? Let’s raid the Vatican vaults, and bring the Menorah home! 🙂
• IndyBay uses the word ‘Jewish’ without the usual Israel-bashing (a sure sign of the impending Apocalypse, if I believed in that goyishe stuff): Craig Taubman and Debbie Friedman on Alameda-based radio!
• Berkeley woman blogs from Baghdad. She refuses to stop blogging from up in a palm tree until the Shi’a and Sunni sing kumbaya together. Or until she gets a “date”.
• Our blogga-momma launched a new blog-project, in case we haven’t shown her some love.
• “anti-war” keffiyeh scarf back at SF’s Urban Outfitters, as pointed out by the Sisterhood at JewSchool.
• Ahmadinejad visited SF for Purim.
• Daily Clog: grad student studies Jewish sexuality. JDate not mentioned. Warning, possibly NSFW (there, happy Squeedle? :-p ), especially that hot painting of two bourgeois Jews getting it on.
• “It’s [a green] springtime, for Hitler, and Germany!”
• Pesky Palo Alto anti-war agitator takes a swipe at Yitzhak Santis.
• Save Camp Swig!
• Local Jewish musician Hyim (of the Fat FOakland Orchestra) traveled to Poland to promote tolerance.
• The Sephardic Jews of Napa.
• Last month Jewish Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Halberstam died in a car crash in Palo Alto.
• CSU Long Beach’s David Irving.
• In the name of Avodah Zarah, Jews should not get married in June.
• A South Bay kosher deli opens, a SF kosher deli closes. Anecdotal evidence of the predicted Jewish demographic shift southward?
• Sergey Brin, Russian Jewish co-founder of Google, gets hitched to a shiksa nice Jewish girl.
• ChallahBackGirl at Studio 59.
• Will the real “first female Jewish scribe” please stand up? Aviel or Jen?
• Wanna work in Cambodia? Take over this Israeli’s non-profit!
• Bay Area Women-In-Black call police on Jewish kids at Oakland protest.
