I'll be back more regularly after my semester ends, but in the mean time, I'm in the @forward.com talking about Mamdani's response to the protest at Park East synagogue last week, and why ambivalence is sometimes okay. forward.com/opinion/7861...
What does Mamdani's response to synagogue protests mean for Jews? No one will like the answer.
Zohran Mamdani's response to a protest outside Park East synagogue satisfied no one. But it might speak to a crucial truth about Jewish life.

So I realize this is a set up to a pun but also I can never resist an opportunity to talk about sheep. Yes, about 10% of rams are gay. They will not breed ewes, they prefer the company of other rams. There are not, AFAIK, equally well-studied lesbian ewes.
There SO MUCH going on in this lovely story. But the stickler in me wants to know if these sheep are truly, exclusively gay. After all, they might be baaa-sexual.

That’s Chekhov. In Ibsen you die while trying to impress a young woman. Or die by suicide. Or from syphilis. Or live, but are abandoned by the people you love most.
