Rabbi Simcha Weinstein and I became Facebook friends recently. We’re not even quite sure how it happened. But when I read this his bio, I wondered how in the world I’d never heard of him. An Orthodox (Chabad) rabbi who works at a prominent New York City art school (Pratt, which I applied to before I decided to major in English and forget my dream of becoming an illustrator) and loves pop culture and comic books?! And he’s a blogger and a speaker, too? Why in the world didn’t we connect early?
Then connect to Rabbi Simcha…on Twitter, on Facebook and even YouTube or get his books on Amazon.com:
“Shtick Shift: Jewish Humor in the 21st Century” (also available on Kindle)
“Up, Up, and Oy Vey: How Jewish History, Culture, and Values Shaped The Comic Book Superhero”
Memoirs of a Jewminicana 
wow, before I even read that Superhero link, I wanted to tell you about my friend Marc Tyler Nobleman who wrote a book about the creators of Superman. He doesn't go into the Jewish element, but there is one page where you can see the shabbat candles. It's a great picture book. You can find him at http://noblemania.blogspot.com/ I'm glad you're still writing. I enjoy reading your blog posts!
