Comment on Essay: Creative Reading by Sarah Rindner by Dena

Sarah, I really liked this essay. I hope that you look at the writing of essays as a form of creative expression at least on par with the writing of poetry. I second the notion that what is creative about creative writing should be that it is, well, laborious, you are crating something. Not that what you are writing is somehow fictive and drawing from some spiritual place or notion of creativity. But I think that even if we go with the second definition of creative as being somewhat personal, muse-inspired etc. I think that there is a way to read and engage with the artistic production with others in an involved way. It’s a little bit harder to be prescriptive about and may entail a second essay, but I think it’s worthwhile for all of us to talk about engaging what that might be. How that might be defined. Although I myself agree that your definition may be primary.

In regards to your point about the mutualistic relationship between reading and writing amongst the Rabbis, I think it’s relevant to think about how much of “Rabbinic” poetry (moving more into the Geonic period and into the MIddle Ages) is really about artfully ‘re-mixing,’ as it were, phrases and images from the Bible, Aggada, and even Halakha. So composition is an exercise in reading.

Comment on Two Mima’amakim Events - NYC and Jerusalem by Dovid Kerner

Sorry I missed this event - I’ve written some ’social justice’ songs, including songs about Jonathan Pollard, Sderot, and the Iran situation. If you’d like, you can listen to them all, in their entirety, on my website.
