The Chosen Bloggers

What a great article by Chayyei Sarah on the world of Jewish blogging and the general state of Jewish generational access to our religion.
I like the Jewish blog-o-sphere because it is a mix of all kinds of Jews. I like that I can feel a sense of community with them because we are all Jews. I live in a city with a fairly large Jewish community (we even have one shul here with about 1000 families. 1000. Where I grew up they would've had a schism about something back around family 445). As a single woman in my 20's I often feel only tangentially connected to my community here (seems to be a theme with me today). Sure I may serve on the board of a local organization (and I'm lucky, since they actually listen to what I have to day most of the time) and and sometimes partake in activities put on by our local pseudo-singles group. But it all seems so shallow sometimes. I like being able to know what people really think about their brand of Judaism. And the anonymity on the internet gives them that freedom. (I have to admit that I've gotten less and less anonymous as this blog has evolved).
