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

  • Paid summer internship opportunity with Tablet.
  • Speaking of Tablet: check out this sweet, brief documentary: “The Last of the Morrises,” about author/critic/scholar Morris Dickstein.
  • On my to-listen list: the newest episode of The Book of Life podcast, hosted by librarian Heidi Estrin, which features an interview with Tova Mirvis about her newest novel, Visible City.
  • Finally: “The Isaac Anolic Memorial Annual Jewish Book Arts Award is now taking applications.” (Thanks to Elizabeth Edelglass for info about the Jewish Art Salon and its current exhibit.)

    • Shabbat shalom.

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

  • Mitch Ginsburg profiles Dalia Betolin-Sherman on the occasion of the publication of the Ethiopian-born Israeli writer’s first story in English.
  • Mazal tov to the winner and honorable mentions for this year’s ALA/Sophie Brody Medal for outstanding achievement in Jewish literature.
  • On the Fig Tree Books website: a fresh appraisal of Isaac Bashevis Singer’s Shosha.
  • Some of the most moving moments of this past week for me: watching “Defiant Requiem,” a documentary “which illuminates the extraordinary, untold story of the brave acts of resistance by the Jewish prisoners at Terezín.” Let’s just say that although I’ve always loved Verdi’s Requiem, I’ll never listen to it in quite the same way again.
  • “The Jewish Student Press Service is looking to hire a recent or soon-to-be college graduate for the full-time position of editor-in-chief of the national Jewish student magazine New Voices. The new editor would simultaneously serve as executive director of the Jewish Student Press Service.”

    • Shabbat shalom.
