Two articles by my students at Columbia Graduate School of Journalism last semester have just been published, and are a pleasure to read:

• Ben Preston’s Hasidic Radicals Bellow Down Tel Aviv’s Streets, an inside look at the Nach-Nachs, alias the anarchistiker hasidim,  is up at The Forward.

• Yardena Schwartz’s The Arabic Education of Israel’s Jewish Students, on a push to expand the teaching of Arabic in Israeli Jewish schools is online at Miller-McCune.

Besides that, excellent and varied coverage of Israel by these and other students is up at the class site, Covering Sacred Ground. Read about everything from Palestinian gays to Jewish Sufis, along with top-notch coverage of the upheaval in the Middle East.

Pure nachas.
