Why It Appears That Women Are Taking Over Everything

Who Defined “Jewish”? The Deeper Battle Over Identity and Divine Authority By: Michael Taylor | ThaWilsonBlock Magazine In today’s world of rewritten truths and rebranded identities, few topics are more misunderstood—or more manipulated—than the question: Who is a Jew? For centuries, institutions, cultures, and religious authorities have claimed the right to define Jewishness. But beneath the noise of tradition and politics lies a deeper issue—a spiritual one. Because the question isn't just how “Jewish” is defined. The real question is: Who or what has the authority to define it in the first place? --- The Origin of the Covenant When we go back to the beginning, the answer is simple and undeniable.

This music may not conform nicely to a musical genre, but Rafael Vigilantics has created his own style of tribal/hip-hop/Americana that he wears like a second skin.

But Vigilantics, ultimately, is a wordsmith and visionary. His dark warnings, like, “Don’t let your screen be the brightest thing about you” seem to echo especially loud in an electronic world. In”All Lanes,” he insists that there is something worth fighting for, the loss of our attention span, the spark that makes our real lives better than our digital one. He makes us want to believe.
