Just four years ago, Nextbook got its start as an organization committed to promoting public library programs dedicated to Jewish topics. In short order, the ever-evolving nonprofit has conquered a swath of territory in the contested realm of Jewish arts and ideas, steadily expanding while maintaining its focus on Jewish cultural and intellectual life. Nextbook is the brainchild of Keren Keshet — the Rainbow Foundation — which sought to establish a single portal into the world of Jewish culture. Keren Keshet, an Israeli organization bankrolled by a wealthy American, Zalman C. Bernstein, originally managed Nextbook directly before spinning it off into an independent nonprofit in 2004. Its initial focus was public programming, with three cities — Seattle, Chicago and Washington, D.C. — selected to receive innovative Jewish programming in local libraries.

Shomer Negiah is a concept in Jewish law halacha that prohibits any degree of physical contact with, or touching of, a member of the opposite sex, except for one’s spouse and immediate family. Shomer means “guards”, but due to its common use in phrases relating to religious practice, it has come to mean: “adhere to” as well. Negiah is the Hebrew word for “touch”, and thus Shomer Negiah is a term used to describe one who “guards the touch” or simply “adheres to restrictions of touch”. Although the feminine form of the term is technically Shomeret Negiah, it is almost always used in the masculine, even when in reference to women. Shomer Negiah Panties allow a woman to abide by the halacha, but still be individual and sexy at the same time.
I’m married, and I would wear them. I think they’re hilarious. But I’d be too scared to give them to anyone I know–they might take it the wrong way.

Pardon me for the overshare, but I have a pair of panties that say “Girls know best” on the front. And there are times that they are appropriate for the situation, like maybe when I need a reminder that girls really do know best (I am almost 43, so hardly a girl, but the sentiment is the same.)
Similarly, I could see a shomer negiah young woman wearing these panties on a date. Just knowing what her panties say might help her keep her skirt on!

Born Stanley Lieber in New York in 1922, Stan Lee entered the comic book scene at seventeen, as assistant editor for the Timely comics group. In 1942, he was promoted to editor. He also became one of the major scriptwriters, after Jack Kirby and Joe Simon had left the company. Lee wrote most of the scripts for ‘Captain America’, ‘Sub-Mariner’, ‘Young Allies’ and ‘The Human Torch’.
The Timely group was renamed Atlas and entered a rough period in the fifties, during which sales were very low. Stan Lee wrote numerous stories, mostly for the superhero comics: ‘The Witness’, ‘The Destroyer’, ‘Jack Frost’, ‘Whizzer’ and ‘Black Marvel’ are but a few of the series he created. The quality of his stories wasn’t very high at first, but improved considerably from 1961 on, when the group was renamed Marvel Comics. Read the rest of this entry »

The special exhibition “Home and Exile” will be on show until the end of April at the Jewish Museum Berlin, the Museum is now showing the interactive multimedia installation “The Danube Exodus” by the Hungarian artist Péter Forgács from the Labyrinth Project at the beginning of the exhibition to add an artistic perspective on the theme.
“The Danube Exodus” is a striking installation on the expulsion of ethnic minorities brought about by the expansionist politics of the Nazis. The setting is one of Europe’s largest rivers, the Danube, at the time when the multi-ethnic communities along its banks were destroyed. Historical amateur film clips, documentary material, and interviews are interwoven into a film on threat, deadly peril, and escape for “The Danube Exodus.” We cordially invite you to attend the opening on Thursday 19 April.

The Thomashefskys: Music and Memories of a Life in the Yiddish Theater
In this multi-media presentation, Michael Tilson Thomas recreates the lives and times of his grandparents, Boris and Bessie Thomashefsky, giants of the American Yiddish Theater.
Two online resources remind us of the rich diversity of cultures in nineteenth-century London. The Jewish Museum has a very interesting online exhibition on the roots of Yiddish theatre, which was created by and for Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe who settled in the East End of London, especially Whitechapel and Spitalfields, in the late nineteenth century. The exhibition provides details on Abraham Goldfaden and the birth of Yiddish theatre; on the first professional Yiddish theatre company in London, formed by Jacob P. Adler in 1883; on the first purpose-built Yiddish theatre in London, known as the Hebrew Dramatic Club (1886); and on the Standard Theatre and Pavilion Theatre (”the Drury Lane of the East,” which became the primary London venue for Yiddish theatre in 1906). The story of a much smaller group in Victorian London, the Chinese who lived in Limehouse, are the subject of a fascinating web resource published by Untold London. Read the rest of this entry »

Opening April 5 to commemorate Israeli Independence Day (April 24), this insightful new exhibition surveys over 30 travel posters produced by Israeli government tourism agencies and both national and private transportation companies during the 1950s and 1960s. Among the most popular iconographic themes during this period are the portrayals of Israel as the ancient land of the Bible, as a place of unspoiled beauty and fascinating history, and as a thriving, modern nation.
