Jewish Literary Links for Shabbat by Erika Dreifus on November 22, 2013 Disabled Photo Credit: Reut Miryam CohenEvery Friday morning My Machberet presents an assortment of Jewish-interest links, primarily of the literary variety. Calvin Trillin explains what Cynthia Ozick taught him about his grandfather. An interesting “shortlist” of four books on Jewish identity. Bumper crop of book-focused blog posts in this month’s Jewish Book Carnival. Author Ilan Mochari describes his visit to the Rochester Jewish Book Festival. “We invite you to join our growing global community of Jewish artists for the second year of Asylum Arts: International Jewish Artist Retreat!” (If “you” are between 22 and 39 years of age, that is.) Shabbat shalom.
