AHHHHHHHHHHHH!

What am I doing? Have I seriously not posted since June? What a crazy thing to do!

Despite the quiet here, this show is very much alive. I just don’t know how to blog, is all. Because, like, this is a podcast, not a blog. I’m still very chatty on Facebook and Twitter so if you like this show and wanna keep up, go to those places!

Also: this show was on a list of readers’ top ten favorite podcast at Moment Magazine. Cool! Thank you so much, passionate anonymous people who shared their love of OMGWTFBIBLE with Moment.

Also also: the Two Bossy Dames e-mail list said some things about OMGWTFBIBLE that are so nice my heart is filled with sparkles. Thank you for the kind words, Sophie. I’m glad this little podcast can bring you so much joy and I hope your readers enjoy what they find here.

ANYWAY! There’s finally a live show again. We’re shutting Leviticus down with a big fat superlong finale episode with BJ Kramer, a great and wonderful man. What comes next? You’ll see at the show! I won’t give away much yet, but rest assured that Season 4 will be on a much tighter schedule than Leviticus has been. SHOW DETAILS BELOW!

David Brooks Discovers Hasids

I don’t have much to say about David Brooks’ kinda weird walking tour of Midwood Jews, but this stuck out to me:

Nationwide, only 21 percent of non-Orthodox Jews between the ages of 18 and 29 are married. But an astounding 71 percent of Orthodox Jews are married at that age. And they are having four and five kids per couple. In the New York City area, for example, the Orthodox make up 32 percent of Jews over all. But the Orthodox make up 61 percent of Jewish children. Because the Orthodox are so fertile, in a few years, they will be the dominant group in New York Jewry.

Um, David, by “Because the Orthodox are so fertile” you meant “Because the Orthodox prohibit pre-marital sex and believe birth control is immoral,” but I guess that’s just splitting hairs.
