Plus, how to run a synagogue out of your apartment when you’re too poor and too annoyed to deal with institutions.

WOW…we are just SLAMMED over here in PunkTorah land. Circle Pit the Bimah was just released, and our vegan cookbook is flying off the virtual shelves for Passover (that’s what happens when you give something away for free). Not to mention two local grants we have received (more details to come) and a host of other exciting adventures that await us.

Problem is, that doesn’t leave a lot of time for Torah Video Mashup. At least not this week. So instead, we’re going all retro-rewind style with this old dvar Torah from back in the good old days.

So here’s the deal: if you consider yourself creative, love YouTube and want to volunteer at PunkTorah, consider becoming our Torah Video Mashup extraordinaire.

Mooby the Golden Calf and Parshah Ki Tissa (Torah Video Mashup)

March 1, 2013 by Patrick Beaulier

Sometimes, you just have to let Kevin Smith movies do all the talking. This week’s Torah portion, Ki Tissa, is about the sin of the Golden Calf. Wonder what that would look like now? Apparently, so did Kevin.
