New Commentator Issue Word from: Mordy

Josh Harrison discusses the dark Magi of Modern Orthodoxy in his article, Are Hermes And the Kabbalah Irrelevent. Daniel Cowen discusses Anti-Semitism as fodder for humor in Commercial Genocide. Mark Hans discusses Jewish Black Metal, Tani Palefski reviews Daniel Zamir, and Eitan Kastner describes the Holocaust Museum in Berlin.

My article starts with, "Rachel is totally the Sylvia Plath of the Bible," and goes downhill from there. It's a review of Chuck Klosterman's new book (I call him sad, Lilit), and a discussion of romanticizing martyrs, in rock music and Judaism. Jewish Worship of the Dead. (It also has my third most favorite picture of Kurt Cobain ever. Yes, that means I have actually rated my favorite pictures of him before.)
