Today I ventured into WordPress Reader, hoping to find a neat blog about Torah study, Talmud, Midrash, Rashi, Rambam… etc.
So I started with the basic search: “Torah study.”
Everything I got was either Christian commentary, or a Messianic blog that doesn’t really align with what I’m looking for.
So… I tried Rambam, then Rashi, and somehow ended up with several Hindu websites. Baffling.
Next, I thought maybe “Maimonides” would get me what I wanted. Nope! I got one hit for a dental society and another for a mental health center.
“Talmud.” That brought up a blog post about how Jews and Muslims view Jesus. I scrolled a little further and got a post about Jesus riding a donkey into Jerusalem.
“Midrash.” A commentary on the Bible through a “womanist lens.”
At that point, I had to give up. I don’t think WordPress Reader is going to get me the content I’m actually looking for, so I’m heading back to the Jewish learning websites I already know.
Oh… and “Six Degrees of Kosher Bacon” was an interesting title, but I’m not sure that’s for me either. I am a vegan, after all. 😉
Note: This post isn’t meant to criticize anyone’s beliefs—it’s just me being frustrated that clearly Jewish search terms don’t always return Jewish-focused results.
