I wrote about the attacks on @jewishmemequeen this week about “playing ball on Shabbat.” They reminded me of similar attacks on @Saul_Sadka about the shape of the Menorah. It’s time for a new climate of internal Jewish debate: blogs.timesofisrael.com/the-… @SaraHirschhorn1

Terrific thread as always from the brilliant @AdlerYonatan
Jews in the first century commonly observed the Torah, although the precise details of how they interpreted the Torah differed among Jews. The claim that “rabbinic Judaism” was already the norm in the early first century CE, and that “Jesus lived and taught as a Rabbinic Jew of his time,” is one I strongly disagree with. 🧵1/7

We have been so spoiled by the Knicks that losing a single game feels like losing game 7. We’re still ahead. @BenRitholtzNBA

Brian Sabean or Omar Minaya. Either would be a huge improvement. #mets

Those Brunson left hand-sideways long layups need a name: sidehook. It’s a totally new shot. #knicks
