BOOKS

«Solo él, excomulgado por religiosos y científicos, podía flotar sobre un mundo en transición y entender su magnífica complejidad. Hay cosas que únicamente ven quienes viven en el punto ciego de Dios».

El Impio, book by Andres Spokoiny

«Since the advent of modernity, the human condition has been changing and evolving, a process that has accelerated radically in the 21st century. These transformations are revolutionizing Jewish communities throughout the world and posing momentous questions for individual Jews and Jewish leaders alike.».

SUBSTACK

Notes from a Liminal Time

Substack by Andres Spokoiny 

Notes from a Liminal Time is a place for deep analyses and slow-cooked thoughts about our times of transition and change.

Andres's Substack

Notes from a Liminal Time

This Substack is driven by a simple frustration: too many conversations today are loud, moralized, and shallow at the same time. The spaces in which ideas can be discussed with intellectual depth are increasingly rare and often inaccessible.

Here, I write about contemporary Jewish and global issues, Jewish identity, antisemitism, philanthropy, community, and, at times, philosophy and science. The scope is intentionally eclectic.

These essays are addressed to readers interested in a deeper, more nuanced engagement with our moment, one that resists moral grandstanding and reflexive outrage, favors historical perspective and conceptual rigor, and refuses to treat complexity as a moral failure.

I engage in muscular polemics and intellectual guerrilla tactics when necessary. But the premise of this page is that, at times, it is also essential to slow down and think seriously. The underlying belief is simple but unfashionable: even in an age of clickbait and epistemic chaos, the effort is still worth it.

Who is this for: While some of the posts may sound like “inside baseball” for Jewish leaders and activists, this is for anyone—Jewish or not—interested in the forces reshaping communities, societies, and the world writ large. In sum, anybody who’s intellectually curious and unafraid of complexity.
