I wonder if the wide response to the book on Talmudic parenting has something to do with Judaism being Ì¢âÂÒinÌ¢âÂå now Ì¢âÂÛÏ witness the pop-Kabbalah and faux-mitzvah phenomena-- the way Buddhism was years ago, with the proliferation of books on Zen, Tao, motorcycles, stuffed bears, and Jewish lotuses.
Historians have suggested that during the Roman era, affluent pagan women were particularly amenable to embracing the theology and moral tenets of Judaism (ancient Madonna analogs?). Is there any research about what particular societal segments of non-Jewish America have taken to MogelÌ¢âÂã¢s book?
Speaking of MadonnaÌ¢âÂÛwhat do you think of the song Ì¢âÂÒIsaacÌ¢âÂå on her new CD? IMHO, its hauntingly beautiful, suffused with subtle allusions to the Aqedah (the biblical Genesis 22 tale of the binding and near sacrifice of Isaac by his father Abraham), artfully interwoven with portions of the Mizrachi tune Ì¢âÂÒim nin`aluÌ¢âÂå .
hey JN and JWA
