Every Friday My Machberet presents an array of Jewish-interest links, primarily of the literary variety.
From my bookshelf: check out my Goodreads “review” (capsule review/summary) of Hilary Zaid’s Paper Is White, a debut novel that I finished reading this week.
Given this week’s (latest) outbreak of rocket attacks from Gaza, Israel’s response, and the usual sequelae in the media, I am re-upping my all-too-evergreen poem “Questions for the Critics.”
And to conclude on a brighter note, with Judy Bolton-Fasman’s Q&A with Nili Scharf Gold, JewishBoston.com spotlights “a new book by a professor of Hebrew literature and a native of Haifa [that] showcases the city’s uniqueness, vibrancy and historical commitment to peace.” (See especially the bit about Haifa through a literary lens.)
