Several dozen members of the Jewish ultra-orthodox Lev Tahor sect, accused of sex-related crimes across several countries, are reported to have migrated to Bosnia. According to local news site Klix.ba, immigration authorities have confirmed that 37 members of the cult from the United States, Canada and Guatemala are currently living near Sarajevo. They have taken up residence in a property owned by a local Bosnian-Serb lawmaker outside the capital.

JTA Hummus is the glue that holds society together in Breaking Bread, a documentary being released in the US on Friday about Israeli and Arab chefs that strives to be as delicious as its dishes. Unfortunately, the film is missing a few key ingredients.

Annually on Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement for our sins, we ask the Almighty and one another to forgive us for or sins committed during the previous year. Perhaps this is why I was stunned when a senior Arab tourism minister in the Middle East once asked me at the end of a luxurious dinner held high atop a palatial hotel with a revolving restaurant: Why can you simply not forget about our mistakes in the past

Warning: Spoilers ahead for the season one finale of And Just Like That As I read this Vulture piece about the winners and losers of And Just Like That season one, I couldnt help but wonder, as a professional Jew of sorts: Was Judaism a winner? OK, I know its a silly, irrelevant question: Is the new Sex and the City reboot good for the Jews? Like, who cares about that when Mirandas entire character took such a nosedive and when no one in this show seems to know what a podcast actually is?! But historically, representation of Jewish spaces and religious Jews on SATC has been iffy: stereotypical at best with cranky, unwelcoming kvetchy rabbis and meddling Jewish mothers and borderline antisemitic at worse (wish I could wash that affair Charlotte had with a Hasidic Jew in season one from my brain).

In my long career as a researcher of contemporary Jewry, I have seen amazing changes throughout the Jewish world. A few of them I would term without hesitation as miracles, some as expectable rational developments, and, occasionally, also some as serious judgment errors.

In the final episode of what is hopefully only the first season of And Just Like That, the series stepped into strange and foreign territory: the realm of belief. Sex and the City has touched on religion before. Charlotte had sex with a Chasidic folk artist and later converted to Judaism under the auspices of Rabbi Minsch

THIS is a landmark book charting and summarising the directions in which biblical studies have been moving in the past few decades. Its interest is less in traditional matters such as the form, contents, and social and theological contexts of the Bible, although those issues come in, and more in the process by which the Bible came together
