Toward the end of each week, the My Machberet blog presents a collection of links, drawn primarily from the world of Jewish books and writing.

• New contest alert from Harbor Review: The Jewish American Woman’s Prize for poems or prose poems will award $200 and publication of a digital chapbook. Contest fee: $20. Deadline: April 30.
• ” I think this collection includes some of the best Jewish American stories in print.” So writes Karen E.H. Skinazi about a new edition of stories by Johanna Kaplan (Jewish Journal).
• “Publishing Through a Jewish and Female Lens”: a profile of Angela Engel and the Collective Book Studio (by Hilary Danailova for Hadassah).
• As Purim approaches, Rabbi Lisa S. Greene shares memories and reflections, about Vashti and more (Jewish Chicago).
• And, because it’s needed: an aggregation of “ways to help the Jews of Ukraine.”

Shabbat shalom.
