Faydra Shapiro (Wilfrid Laurier): Jesus for Jews: The Unique Problem of Messianic Judaism. From Quest, a special issue on modernity and the cities of the Jews.

Naming the matriarchy: What we call ourselves when we're hyphenates, when we're grandmothers, when we're Jews. A review of The Chosen People: A Study of Jewish Intelligence and Achievement by Richard Lynn. Eric Alterman on Sheldon Adelson and the end of American anti-Semitism.
