MICHAEL FREUND: Ezekiel is commanded by God to take two sticks. On one, he is to write "For Judah," and on the other "For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim." Then comes the crucial instruction: "Bring them together into one stick so that they become one in your hand" (37:17). Ezekiel's vision is not one of uniformity. The two sticks do not cease to be what they are. Judah remains Judah; Joseph remains Joseph. Unity does not erase difference – it sanctifies and elevates it by placing it within a larger shared destiny.

Ketriel Blad: In other words, in order for a total restoration to take place, the restored Ephraimites from among the nations will have to become Jewish, in the legal sense of the word, thus accepting the Jewish authorities and becoming obedient to Jewish halachah. In the prophecy of Ezekiel 37:19 the Hebrew text can be understood as HaShem giving Yehuda's stick the function of being over Ephraim's stick and this way both sticks will become one. This teaches us that the Ephraimite movement that comes from heaven cannot rise apart from the Jewish people without submission to the Jewish leaders' authority. This is not for all the gentiles.

Gedalyah Reback: Israel should at the least continue to work with its own Christian minority.

Douglas Altabef: I live conveniently close to both Lebanon and Syria. That is the sovereign right of Israelis to exercise. Sovereignty under the best of circumstances is messy.

Year of Azazel

In the Absence of Scapegoats,
There are Europeans in Caskets.

In the Absence of Kids in the Hall,
There are Aborted Americans.

In the Absence of Goat Cheese,
There are Australian Widows.

In the Absence of Goat Milk,
There are Crucified Camels.


Reza Farahan: I have two weeks of vacation a year. Why they fuck would I go to Iran?!!! I go to the South of France. I go to Hawai'i. I go to ~ You know ~ the Caribbean. Who the fuck goes to Iran?!!!


On stage you have heard me speak constantly of the refugee…of Exodus….of walking with the injured members of humanity…and of how doing so can bring some healing to the leprosy within us all. To that end i’ve been given an opportunity to go to Iraqi Kurdistan on the 25th. Hundreds of thousands of refugees have fled the horrific violence in the region and are living in tents throughout Kurdistan. They join the many who are already displaced from previous wars and persecution. I will be joining CPT and other NGO’s as we document the many human rights abuses and help with immediate crisis needs. We will also be bringing in supplies…and I’ve been asked to play some music (and hopefully get inspired by some of the amazing Kurdish musicians!). In order to go i will need to raise $3400 in the next 10 days. I could really use your help. Over the years you have all supported and loved us….and made our work possible for almost 2 decades now. I want to carry some of the love you have shown us to a region traumatized by brutality. I’m hoping with your help we can be messengers of kindness to folks who need it…and in so doing with any luck maybe i’ll return with a “new song for a new exodus”…..and we all can once again sing really loud and strange songs together! I hope so. I really miss you all.
