When Writing Scares Me

I had gotten used to exposing myself online with my writing. Which is why I was so blindsided when my old fear came back.

I write in fragments. I use short, one-paragraph sentences. I start sentences with the word “and”. I am a bad writer. Here’s why I love it anyway.

It’s the end of the Three Weeks. Tu B’Av. It’s time to start celebrating again with great Jewish music. Here’s just a bit to get you rolling.

Am I merely a positive blogger, whitewashing all the issues in society, especially Jewish society? Or is there something else going on?

Why baal teshuvas need to stop worrying and start creating.

Is a Jewish artist just an artist who happens to be Jewish? Or does he have some sort of responsibility to the Jewish world?
