"Perversion" isn't a strong enough word to describe this disgusting, morally void toilet paper. In fact, it not even worthy of use in an outhouse! This distortion of what is and is not considered sinful is one of the MOST sinful things I've ever heard of. May God have mercy on them. I doubt that will happen since they most likely won't repent before they face the Lord of Lords.

Harvard hasn’t ruined its Unique Value Paradigm enough?

Holy CRAP even I a non-Jew was shocked to see this fool would name his journal after a Canaanite goddess. And WTF - he wants to be (and by extension, wants his babies to be) on the NON-trigger side of a gun? Just like on October 7th? There's not enough contempt in the world for this moron.

I've commenter several times recently how baffling it is that these fools are being sympathetic towards a group that would just as soon kill them as look at them. These radical islamic groups like hamas and hezbolla have been documented time and again for their cruelty to ANYONE, but especially those they deem unworthy of or unwanted in society, like the alphabet soup people at Harvard who wrote this drivel. Maybe they are eager to step up to the edge of a roof to do a belly flop dive while hamas gives them a good shove just to make sure they don't chicken out.

Thank you, and Betsy, too. I’ve been disappointed to see two people commenting in the last two days on how Jews (in general) and Israel are the problem. I cannot understand how anyone manages to ignore what these radical islamists have been responsible for!!!

I feel your pain in having to read that crap.

It is difficult to know where to even begin. Alas, the Babylon of North America. It has destroyed itself in a single year.

How the mighty have fallen… I knew Maggid when he was an Orthodox Jew living in Israel with children and a wife. He’s a traitor, and his movement is an excuse to be free from obligation. Fits in with the current culture. Yecccchhh.

This 'divinity school' is doing Satan's work.

A Shaul Magid Special, I see. Embarrassing.

This is not the first time Jews play with Canaanite symbols. My grandfather was one of the founders of the Canaanite movement in Israel- a scholar who spoke multiple languages. His fellow travelers Israel's greatest poets, artists, writers. One of their key aims was to create a secular basis for the new country that could include both Jews and Arabs. Their intellectual output was remarkable. Nothing like the boring, mediocre bile produced by antizionists.

A homosexual divinity school school, if that’s not an oxymoron I don’t know what is? Only at Harvard could you come up with such stupidity? I sure would like to talk to the professor that’s teaching this class and like to know what part of the Bible he’s going to use.?

Isaiah 5:20: "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!"

Sadly, this is a prevailing theme in modern life. Things that a little over 50 years ago were considered not taboo but SINFUL are now CELEBRATED. Some have tried to explain (excuse) how it was 'misunderstood' and not really a sin. Now there are those trying to claim that God is okay with the wickedness. I have new for those people, God is NOT okay with them misusing and misrepresenting scripture to make themselves feel better about continuing to sin. God DOES love them and wants them to TRULY repent and STOP the sinning. Asking God for forgiveness then turning around and repeating the sin is a disingenuous and empty atonement.

Fascinating. But I think the title is perfect. They are stripping away every cover and disguise letting show the pure in the classical sense idolatry that this movement is. So asherah perfect. idol worshippers. Not to go to far but when will they give their kids to moloch? Again as we used to say those who know understand. and I don't want to go further. Its too easy.

"Magid has an article about how he usually prays alone even though Jewish tradition encourages communal prayer. The word “I” appears 31 times in the three-page essay, or an average of more than 10 times a page."

In other words, he wears the badge of a Jew to claim favor but does not attend synagogue.

That "poetry" excerpt made me nauseous.

We live in such a decadent age, yet I suppose there is nothing new under the sun. As Paul writes to the church in Corinth, “Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has God not made foolish the wisdom of the world?”

The cover illustration is an Ashtoreth, related to an Ashera, but more sexual and less maternal. From the quoted content Ashtoreth would have been a more appropriate name for the "student" journal.
