Every Friday My Machberet presents an array of Jewish-interest links, primarily of the literary variety.
Early in the week, I was pleased to read a new article by my friend Judy Bolton-Fasman on “recent ex-Hasid memoirs.”
At the same time, later in the week, I appreciated Andrew Silow-Caroll’s nuanced thoughts about the collective interest in this sort of writing by ex-Orthodox Jews.
I’m glad you linked to that article in NJJN. I had not seen it and I think it was really balanced. I agree basically everything he wrote.
Nina, the NJJN is my hometown Jewish newspaper, so I try to keep up with it. And I think the EiC is awesome.
