Apologies that I am restricting myself to cultural and not scholarly posts for the moment. Between a hard and fast casebook deadline, conference presentations (in the summer?), and article deadlines, I’ve never been busier. So, on the cultural front, thought folks might find this accurate headline from the Yeshiva World News of interest: Christian President Marries Jewish Congressman to Political Aide on Shabbos. (H/T Ben Smith, Politico) The “political aide” is Muslim.  Aside from wishing the bride and groom congratulations, the most appropriate response might be one my mother’s favorite sayings when she was Jewish (before she became an evangelical Christian) “a bracha (blessing) on Columbus.”
