Religion vs. Culture[edit]

This magazine is part of the Jewish Secular Cultural movement. It is not tied to religion or beliefs in god. Therefore I have changed back the stub from religious to cultural. Mkrupnic (talk) 17:48, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

the "Revision as of 20:39, 17 April 2021" left in the word "when" (by mistake?)[edit]

About 3 weeks ago (circa "20:39, 17 April 2021") this change was made.

In some ways that was a good change. It broke an extremely long sentence into two shorter sentences. (It also made at least one other change, in the last sentence before the "See also" section; but that is outside the scope of this "Talk:" page comment section.)

The part that used to say

"until 1956 when it broke with the party and took its current name."

was changed to say

"In 1956 when it broke with the party and took its current name."

The use of "In" to replace "until" was fine; it fits in well with inserting a "sentence" boundary right before this part of that paragraph. However, it was probably not intentional -- (and IMHO it was not correct) -- to leave in the word "when" there (after "In 1956").

There are other ways that this paragraph could be fixed ... that is, other than just removing (deleting) the word "when". However, that [deletion of that word] is probably the best and simplest solution. Discussion of any "other" solutions is possible, but [a] it would made this "Talk:" page comment section even more long-winded, and [b] it is probably not necessary.

Unless I hear (or see) some convincing reason[s] to fix this paragraph some other way (other than by deleting the word "when"), I intend to delete the word "when".

Even if some comments are added here, after that -- [deleting the word "when"] -- happens, it is OK. Once a change is made, it can still be overridden by a later change.

Thanks for your patience. --Mike Schwartz (talk) 17:08, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. Works for me. Freelance-frank (talk) 18:24, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

NYT profile[edit]

The NYT just published a profile of Jewish Currents: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/30/style/arielle-angel-jewish-currents-magazine.html. I have a very mild COI, so I'll hold off editing directly to incorporate it, but just dropping here for anyone who might want to do so. (pinging Tamzin as this seems in your wheelhouse as a journalism/Judaism combo)
