I’ve been pondering what sort of thing to share with the world next. I’m thinking the overwhelming sadness of the Holocaust themed last few books perhaps matched my inner world a bit too closely and I want to go elsewhere. For the last few months I’ve been pondering sharing a few of Jewish photography books and my gut tells me that’s the direction to go. I’ve always loved photos and pantings. Basically if it’s visual and real, I’m there but a disclaimer must be put out that photography is the only “modern” art I enjoy. Though haha, an exception would be a fascinating book on Crafts of Israel I picked up at that Friends of Library bookstore some months back. So ok modern art but photos! 

Anyway, something in the vein is percolating and brewing. Stay tuned and hope in the meantime you enjoy my non book review Jewish content.
