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

  • A part-time job is available for an individual to “to staff and take responsibility for the small mobile branch of the Jewish Community Library at the Oshman Family JCC in Palo Alto.”
  • A delightful–if daunting–photo of the book-review decision table at Lilith magazine.
  • Famed author Nadine Gordimer passed away on Sunday; here’s Benjamin Ivry’s excellent post on Gordimer’s “Jewish life and times.”
  • Helen Epstein explores the “Jewish Lives” biography series from Yale University Press.
  • This week I ran across some remarkable Jewish poetry by Rachel Mennies and Yael Massen.
  • Rabbi Jonah Dov Pesner on The New York Met, the Death of Leon Klinghoffer, and Today’s Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: “I am calling on people to be smart and vote with your feet: Don’t be a party to moral equivalency masquerading as art.”

    • Shabbat shalom.
