The Jewish Surfer
Who are we? Both an online journal and website committed to presenting literature, imagery, experiences, philosophy, humour and other research (anthropology, sociology, community activism) of and about Jewish Surfers from all around the world, with our own intertwined perspectives on both Judaism and Surfing. We also welcome non Jews who have an overlap with Jewish surfing.
For our upcoming issue, we are looking for editors and / or contributors and a marketing director and business manager. As we continue to raise money through an advertisement and sheer generosity model, all staff and contributors will receive an as yet to be determined proportion of total revenue, but don’t hold your breath! Oy! Our overall vision is one where Jewish surfers and their friends are engaging in Tikun Olam (helping to actively both ‘fix’ and ‘balance’ the world) for environmental and recreational justice. Our mission is to provide an engaging forum to bring in diverse groups of people to share about their passion for surfing and how that intersects with their identities in shared and contested space.
If you are looking for a start up (ad)venture that involves your passion and reaching out to both Jewish and non Jewish communities, Baruch Ha Ba – Welcome, Zay Gezunt, eat some Kreplech, ful medames or any other soul food and catch some surf and email us, please: [email protected] (Scholarly work should follow Chicago or APA guidelines).
In other words, if the Great Rabbi of Breslav would have been a surfer, he might have said, 'Gai surfn' oyfn' yam!' Writers from Heeb magazine are expressly forbidden from communicating with us, unless they can prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that they too have entered the mayim without drinking the mayim! Ok, so you didn't get the joke. Never you mind! Heeb magazine writers are more than welcome to contact us, kvetch, kvell, shrayb, whateva! You talented writers of any ilk, come running this way. Oy!
*Mayim is Hebrew for Water, the words to the song that it refers are found here
