Every Friday My Machberet presents an array of Jewish-interest links, primarily of the literary variety.

  • Lots to admire (and mull over) in Rachel Kadish’s “What Elie Wiesel Taught Me About Being a Writer.”
  • Intriguing opportunity for emerging Jewish artists (including writers) to gather in Warsaw under the guidance of Asylum Arts and POLIN Museum of the History of the Polish Jews. Apply by October 24. No fees.
  • ICYMI when it appeared in the Practicing Writer newsletter, my recent Q&A with Rachel Hall, author of Heirlooms, is now preserved for posterity in my collection of author interviews.
  • Attention, young Canadians (ages 18-29). Here’s an essay contest for you, from the Canadian Jewish News. No entry fees. Cash prizes. Deadline: October 27, 2016.
  • Last, but maybe not least: my second piece on Literary Hub, contesting suggestions that Jewish writing is “over.”
  • Shabbat shalom.
