Exciting news: “The Tikvah Fund is happy to announce five new, advanced courses in Jewish thought. From the Hebrew Bible and Maimonides to Menachem Begin and S.Y. Agnon, texts of the Jewish tradition will be brought to bear on universal human questions of ethics, love, piety, music, literature, and more. Courses will run from the week of January 28 through the week of May 13 and will meet once per week for two hours in midtown Manhattan….This is an extraordinary opportunity for advanced students and anyone else hungry for sustained and high-level study of Jewish ideas.”
NB: The Tikvah Fund pays all tuition costs. The website notes that applications will be considered on a rolling basis until December 31, so if you’re interested, apply soon! (Confession: I already have!)
My Machberet is proud to serve as December 2012 host for the Jewish Book Carnival, “a monthly event where bloggers who blog about Jewish books can meet, read, and comment on each others’ posts. The posts are hosted on one of the participant’s sites on the 15th of each month.”
Herewith, this month’s goodies. (more…)

Have a great weekend, everyone. See you back here on Monday.
Every Friday morning My Machberet presents an assortment of Jewish news, primarily of the literary variety, from around the Web.
Enjoy the conclusion of Hanukkah, everyone, and Shabbat shalom!
