Lawrence Bush
Edit ProfileCareer
In addition to writing and editing, he has worked as a puppeteer and school music teacher. Bush edits, an independent, progressive magazine founded in 1946 and promotes Jewish identity as “a counterculture.. in many ways antithetical to what drives our country today”.
“Throughout the conservative onslaught of the past three decades,” Bush has editorialized in, “we have argued repeatedly that Jewish identification with the have-nots is more consistent with our people’s history, tradition, self-interest, and prospects for continuity, than the currying of favor with the powers-that-be — especially when those powers resemble nothing more than Pharaoh, the imperial oppressor of Biblical Egypt.” He is also the editor of the daily blog JEWDAYO, discussing events from Jewish life and history on the anniversary of their occurrence.
In 2011, the entries from the first year of the blog, 2010, were collected into a printed daybook Jewdayo.
