Happy birthday to Jewniverse! Today, your favorite daily email of Jewish random fun stuff is one year old. To celebrate, we thought we’d look back at a few of some notable Jewniverse features from the last year.
- Jews in Space
A short story about Jewish aliens. Who somehow have a Torah of their own and wear yarmulkes–even though they’ve never been in contact with Earth before. - Yiddish Workout Video
Shvitzin’ to the oldies was never so fun. - Lego Bible Scenes
Bible scenes made out of Lego bricks. Simple and straightforward, but no less awesome. - The Rabbi and the Prostitute
Rabbi Eleazar dedicated his life to visiting prostitutes. One day, he meets a woman who makes him question everything. (Yes, this was really in the Talmud.) - Ghosts of Jews in Poland
An artist takes images of Jews from World War II-era photos and glues them to the buildings where they once lived.
- Samson Koletkar
An Indian Jewish stand-up comic who jokes about San Francisco, the Bible, and how the rest of us don’t look Jewish.
