Since we launched the RAC Blog I find that I spend more time reading other blogs.  Over the next few days, I thought I would point RAC Blog readers to a couple of the blogs I look at regularly. 

The Jewish FundS for Justice have recently launched their own blog – jspot.org

Much of the writing is done by JFJ staffers (and, full disclosure here, friends) Jeremy Burton, Mik Moore, and Rabbi Jill Jacobs.  All three are consistently interesting, thoughtful and provocative.  I always read, and learn from, Jill’s weekly post on the week’s Torah portion, and often shamelessly borrow from it in my own teaching.  There is almost always something new – and something worth reading – on Jspot, which provides a liberal, Jewish prism for looking at a wide array of issues, with a focus on labor and economic justice concerns. 

If there are Jewish (or other blogs) you find particularly interesting, I hope you’ll call them to our attention by leaving a comment below.
