Jewcy is promoting an interesting project:

Jews are supposed to follow 613 mitzvot (commandments from God). Some make sense, while others seem antiquated and irrelevant. For an art installation to debut at DAWN, a special event for the grand opening of the San Francisco Contemporary Jewish Museum, we'll be creating an interactive environment involving the mitzvot and your creative reinterpretations.

By laying out all 613 commandments and asking for revisions, DAWN and Jewcy are taking a huge risk. Some of the re-writes are very funny while others are pretty serious, but they are quite literally re-writing the Torah. I will be interested to see how the instillation is received by the more conservative aspects of our community. If anyone makes it out to the event on June 7th let me know how it went.
