One Flew Over the Zionist's Head

For reasons beyond faith and ceremony, I was part of a roundtable discussion last Sunday morning with a bunch of young Jewish organization types hosted by Ariel Beery of PresenTense. I just want to get one quote on the record so there's no misinterpretation for the future:

"When Eli Valley was going to Jewish day school and reading Philip Roth, I was listening to Minor Threat and reading Maximum RocknRoll."

One guy in the room, Rabbi Charlie Buckholtz of The Community Synagogue on Sixth Street, appreciated my call for DIYaspora. He grew up in the DC area too (with Dave Chappelle no less) and he's co-writing a book on Peter Ivers (a must-read Wikipedia entry, kids) that's due out in the summer.
