Foodaism: A Jew Food Blog

I don't know when he had the time, but Jewish Journal Editor Rob Eshman has founded a Jewish food blog over at the Jewish Journal site. It's called " Foodaism," a title so apt and relatable that it's a wonder no one thought of it before now. 

From Rob's first entry: 

*It wasn’t that I replaced God or religion with food. It was that I found God and religion in food. I’d found a new definition of Foodaism. It’s not Judaism lite. It’s close to a religion unto itself. And for me, it’s a pretty good one. This blog will cover all aspects of my new favorite religion—one I’d been a true believer in long before I recognized it, or admitted it. I’ll write about my journey, I’ll write about the food world here in LA, in Israel and elsewhere, I’ll write about how the foods I touch touch me. If you’re a believer, I hope my words, photos and recipes resonate with you. If you’re not, maybe I’ll convert you. You might come to understand, that love and ritual, truth and justice, even God Herself, can come to us in a slice of brisket, that foodaism is a religion for the rest of us.*

Funny, he doesn't look Foodish.

Hey Esther- I tried to add this blog to Google Reader, but his feedburner doesn't work-- if you're in contact with him, you might want to let him know. Hope all is well!
