Curious about how Jewish Tradition might understand Cancel Culture? Let's talk about it!

A Jewish Response to Cancel Culture | Jewish Learning Class

Wednesday, March 3, 2021 @ 7PM EST | 4PM PST

Standard Ticket $10

[Free Tickets will be available on March 1]

See below for class description:

This class is coming back!  (Originally taught during the High Holy Days 2020:]

Description:   Seriously, what might Jewish Tradition say about Cancel Culture?  How does the Jewish conception of repentance (Teshuva) fit into all of this?   How can Jewish Tradition help us to better understand famous people in the limelight who make troubling mistakes and help us to understand the real threats that they can cause human beings?

Come join student rabbi Josh as we explore this topic in a radically inclusive Beit Midrash!  This class will include both large-group study as well as small group study (chevruta - small pairs).  

All WWT events are open to Jews and non-Jews, those partnered to Jews  and people who yearn to become Jewish, and anyone who needs a spiritual  learning home.

J.K. ROLLING CALLS OUT “BUNCH OF RACISTS” FOR CRITICISM OF BLACK HERMIONE GRANGER

Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling is just fine with the character of Hermione Granger, played by Emma Watson in the series’ almost $8 billion film franchise, being played by black actress Noma Dumezweni in her upcoming play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.

More fantastic stories found on KollideTV’s Tumblr, Facebook, Twitter, & Instagram

In an interview with The Observer, the author described those who had voiced their disapproval of Award-winning actress Noma Dumezweni being cast as the famous character in the play as a “bunch of racists.”

Rowling said she had a “great deal of difficulty” dealing with those that insisted Hermione – played by Emma Watson in the film franchise – “must be a white woman.”

“But I decided not to get too agitated about it and simply state quite firmly that Hermione can be a black woman with my absolute blessing and enthusiasm,” adding that Dumezweni was simply “the best actress for the job.”

Quando meu amigo Anderson me chamou e pediu para escrever um texto para o Dive Web eu logo disse: — Mas é claro amigão! Por que não Brother?!

Mas só foi eu fechar a janelinha do chat para que eu começasse a falar comigo mesmo: — E agora? Que caralhos eu escrevo pra esse cuzão! Arrombado, fica enchendo o saco pedindo texto! É um puto mesmo!

Mas aqui estamos. E até ontem eu não tinha a menor…

How to be an Author

How to be an Author

So, you’re young or old, jobless or working it doesn’t matter as long as you can find some time to type on your laptop or cell phone or little pocket diary, you can be an author. It takes a rare soul to be as great as George R.R. Martin, J.K. Rolling, Sidney Sheldon, Jane Austin or any of those elites whose books make people salivate. But unless you try you won’t know if you make the cut, so try.

You know, as much as I find angsty Harry uncomfortable to read, I do think there’s something impressive about the way J.K. Rowing writes Harry as he ages. I feel like in a lot of books featuring adolescent characters, they either read as “this is a young person” or “this is a person who might as well be an adult,” but every Harry Potter book so far I find myself thinking, “Oh, that is such a thirteen-year-old way to react to that!” or similar. Now in the fifth book he’s so angsty, but at the same time, he really reminds me of fifteen year old boys I knew. Even if I don’t like angsty characters, there’s something I have to appreciate about the way how it really feels like Harry is growing up throughout this series, with all the ups and downs that entails.

While working on giving all the characters in my book names, I've found new respect for J.K. Rolling, who managed to give practically each and every one of her characters extremely descriptive names. Just the sound of most of them perfectly sums up their personalities.
