Benyamin's Blog
For those of you who just can’t wait until October 7th, this site is for you. October 7th may be known for many things -- the day of the first transaction on the Helsinki Stock Exchange (1912), the day Pope Mark died (336), the birthday of Australian cricketer Graham Yallop (1952), and the day Hollywood adopted the movie ratings system (1968) -- but this year October 7th brings with it new import. It is the day -- drumroll, please -- of the release of the long-anticipated (by me), much hyped (by me) memoir My Jesus Year: A Rabbi’s Son Wanders the Bible Belt in Search of His Faith (um, also by me).
October 7th is only 1536 hours away. That is when you can finally buy the book your nightstand has been waiting for. In the meantime -- between eating and basic human tasks of functionality -- read this blog, surf this site. It is for you, dear reader. It is for you. (Ok, it’s for me, too.)
Mr. Cohen, I picked up your book from my local library here in Nashville, Tennessee August 2009...really enjoyed it...it was a fast read....meaning it flowed...a real page turner...though I did not read it all in one night! Umm, I read it in about four sittings! Anyway from an evangelical christian, your insights are enlightening for myself...so I thank you for your humor and I hope that a year later your spirituality is vibrant....wish you the best...

Have you ever considered adding more videos to your blog posts to keep the readers more entertained? I mean I just read through the entire article of yours and it was quite good but since I’m more of a visual learner,I found that to be more helpful well let me know how it turns out! I love what you guys are always up too. Such clever work and reporting! Keep up the great works guys I’ve added you guys to my blogroll. This is a great article thanks for sharing this informative information.. I will visit your blog regularly for some latest post.
Great book, it was like having you talking to me, of course since that’s never actually happened I can’t say how accurate this feeling is. In your section on music I though of something you might enjoy. They’re Messianic Jews. No, I’m not trying to convert anyone. It’s just the genre of music. Check out Galilee of the Nations for an interesting assortment.
Hi there, I found your blog via Google while searching for first aid for a heart attack and your post looks very interesting for me.
