A clandestine undertaking on behalf of Israel, the Jets and the Jews.

 
Stupid Column of the Week Preview

This week's Jewish Press and Jewish Week are now online. While each has a suitable candidate which I plan to post about, the far more moronic column appears in The Jewish Week. The Stupid Column of the Week will not be officially awarded until after the Forward goes online tomorrow, though the Jewish Week's nominee will be hard to defeat.

In the meantime, the Jewish Week sadly reports on the passing of Rifka Rosenwein, its columnist. Ms. Rosenwein was 42 and lived in Teaneck, New Jersey, and over the last year and a half, she and Barry Lichtenberg, her husband, wrote about her battle with cancer. Six weeks ago, just before Yom Kippur, Mr. Lichtenberg wrote this poignant column.

UPDATE: In the course of drafting, for posting tomorrow morning, my critique of Mark Charendoff's column in the Jewish Week, I somehow posted it now, and it appears above. It is still (theoretically) possible that the Forward will come up with something more asinine, but I am confident that the Charendoff piece will hold up as this week's stupidest.
