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

  • “12 Jewish Artist-Educators You Should Know” (via eJewishPhilanthropy).
  • Ahead of this weekend’s Boston Book Festival, JewishBoston.com’s Judy Bolton-Fasman interviews Daphne Kalotay, whose Holocaust-related short story “Relativity” is being featured as the winning entry in the festival’s One City One Story contest.
  • Writers I know are buzzing about this new opportunity for kidlit authors to travel to Israel.
  • Hadassah Magazine is looking for freelancers to write about arts and culture, trends and important issues shaping the Jewish community. Journalism experience is required.” For more information/application instructions, scroll down for the call in this Hadassah Magazine newsletter.
  • And ICYMI: Last Friday the Forward published a new essay of mine, about my return to Hebrew School.
  • Shabbat shalom!
