About Kerem
Kerem is an independent, inter-denominational publication, published on an occasional basis to explore Jewish spiritual issues. Contents include text study, divrei Torah, midrash, liturgy, essays, poetry, short stories, interviews, photography, and more. Kerem has an egalitarian and pluralistic philosophy, and aims to combine the best of modern thinking and a serious engagement with Jewish tradition. What Does "Kerem" Mean? Kerem means "vineyard" in Hebrew. The fruit of the vine doesn't get thrown out as it ages; it ferments, it changes, its flavor deepens. In rabbinic literature, the word Kerem has yet another association — the planting of kerem b'Yavneh (a vineyard in Yavneh), a metaphor for the renewal of Torah study and creativity that took place in the first century of this millennium. Kerem is designed as a vineyard through which readers wander, picking the fruit of the vine, relaxing, savoring the atmosphere, and perhaps planting in turn. Sort of like a Web site, so please make yourself at home!
