The Rabbi's Cat | Joann Sfar

An Algerian rabbi‘s cat can speak, argues with the rabbi about theological matters, demands a bar mitzvah, is jealous when his mistress (the rabbi‘s daughter) falls in love with a young rabbi from Paris and accompanies the couple and rabbi to France to meet the in laws. Funny, clever. Thanks @Adventures_of_a_French_Reader for recommending! 🥰

The Misunderstood Jew | Amy-Jill Levine
post image
Pickpick

This was my first intro to Amy-Jill Levine, and I‘m definitely planning to read more from her. How can you not read on when the intro begins with the sentence: “When I was a child, my ambition was to be pope.” 😂 This, from a Jewish New Testament scholar.

Levine offers a fresh, much-needed perspective on Jesus and his New Testament context. She emphasizes that Christians tend to interpret the New Testament solely through the context of the ⤵️

BarbaraJean (Cont‘d) Old Testament, which results in an inaccurate & mistaken picture of what first-century Judaism actually looked like—and often leads to projecting anti-Semitic views onto the text & out into the world. Her writing is accessible & approachable, and although I found her characterization of the Apostle Paul a little harsh, she makes a powerful case for careful study of the historical context as well as for a more robust interfaith dialogue. 5mo
TheBookHippie I wanted to be a nun 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 5mo
BarbaraJean @TheBookHippie 😂😂 Reminds me of Anastasia Krupnik and her desire to be a Catholic because of the fancy white confirmation dress 😆 Levine said some of her attraction to the position was that she really liked the pope‘s hat 🤣 5mo
