Links

Below are a collection of links to various websites that may be of interest to you. There are links on arcane bits of Judaic history, Jewish multiculturalism, conversion away from Judaism to secularism or other religions, and so on. I would like this page to bring interesting perspectives to seekers' fingertips. Enjoy!




ALTERNATIVE JUDAISM
These links offer innovative ways to pray and practice Judaism. I have included prayer, political, and other resources (excluding interfaith and/or Jewitch, or Jewish Pagan resources, which are listed separately).

Kohenet
"[Examining] models of the Divine feminine from the Bible, Jewish mysticism, and goddess myths as well as [the work of] modern Jewish women in order to create a new vision.

Punk Torah
Independent, fresh views on Torah readings, prayer, customs. News, blogs, pods, vlogs and more!

The Shalom Center

JEWITCH / JEWISH-PAGAN
These links focus on Earth-based spirituality as well as interfaith Jewish/Pagan practices.
