Every Friday My Machberet presents an array of Jewish-interest links, primarily of the literary variety.
Summer reading recommendations, collected by Rabbi Ruth Abusch-Magder from other rabbis. (I’ll admit that our team at Fig Tree Books is very happy to see Jessamyn Hope’s Safekeeping featured within.
Another list of recommended Summer Reads comes from the Detroit Jewish News. (Here, too, a Fig Tree title—this time, our-reissue of Edward Lewis Wallant’s The Pawnbroker—made the cut.)
Yes, there’s an emphasis on Fig Tree Books in this post! I can’t keep myself from mentioning the latest issue of the FTB newsletter. It contains several goodies, including a “cover reveal” for Abigail Pogrebin’s forthcoming My Jewish Year: 18 Holidays, One Wondering Jew, and the happy news of an award for Ben Nadler’s The Sea Beach Line.
I’m heading out to a family Bar Mitzvah on the West Coast and will be away from the computer for a bit. Please excuse any delays in responding to comments. And Shabbat Shalom!
