Shimon Peres Gets Items on Islam
This blurb is kind of cool. Any major news links people know of? I can’t get anything through the Google. The items are: “Under the Eaves of Architecture: The Aga Khan: Builder and Patron” (Philip Jodidio) “Historical Atlas of Islam” (Malise Ruthven) “An Islamic Conscience: the Aga Khan and the Ismailis” (Bill Cran;Shamir Allibhai;Jane Chablani)

I now also blog at Religion Dispatches. Don’t worry, islamicate isn’t going anywhere.
Hasidic Reggae
Yes Virginia, it’s true. Take a look at this site, just to read comments like this: “He can really rip,” agrees hip-hop producer and bassist Yossi Fine (David Bowie, Me’Shell Ndege-Ocello), who is himself part Israeli and Afro-Jamaican Jew. “He’s extremely fierce, jumping around the stage. The only difference between him and a Jamaican rapper is that he takes the lyrics from the Bible instead of from Rasta. He changes ‘Jah’ to ‘Hashem’ [Hebrew for God].” I intend to buy an album. Seems very cool. Also, here.
