We'll always have Paris....

I’ll get straight to the point: This is my final post. I am shutting down Judeosphere.

I did not arrive at this decision lightly. I began blogging for two reasons: (1) I felt that I could offer some value-added information and commentary on such vital issues as anti-semitism and anti-Zionism. (2) I found it rather cathartic to vent on these issues, and I discovered that blogging is far less disruptive than shouting at strangers on street corners.

So, what’s changed? For starters, it is increasingly difficult to find time to write quality blog posts. Various other matters (aka “real life”) keep interfering. Second, blogs that cover the issues that concern me are flourishing (see, for example, recently launched Z-Word). The blogosphere is in good hands.

Maybe (if someone is gracious enough to allow me), I’ll submit occasional guest posts to other sites. You can always reach me at: judeosphere@hotmail.com

In the meantime, I’ll leave my blog posts up for posterity.

Finally, the most gratifying part of blogging has been the extraordinary people that I’ve had the opportunity to meet and greet online. If you read this blog, you probably know most of them, but a special tip of the hat to the gang at Harry’s Place (especially Gene), “Snoopy the Goon” over at Simply Jews, Fabian, David Adler at Lerterland, David Hirsh and the remarkable folks fighting the good fight over at Engage, ModernityBlog, and, of course, Norman Geras (who never did a Normblog Profile on me…but I’m not bitter. Really.)

My best to you all,

Judeosphere
