For Jews, this is a very special time of year. As I sat in Rosh Hashanah services on Monday, and my 9-year-old niece commented on one of the more remarkable moments in the Holy Day liturgy–the Unetenah Tokef–I was reminded again of an essay I wrote many autumns ago that is grounded in that liturgy. It’s an essay I’ve shared here on the blog before. But this seems to be an appropriate time to share it again.
Updates from the Jewish Plays Project:
1) The 2nd Annual JCC Metrowest Jewish Playwriting Contest is open for submissions.
2) Along with the Holocaust Council of MetroWest, the Jewish Plays Project is also seeking work for its Shoah Stories presentations.
There are no submission fees involved here, folks. Please click the links for details and deadlines.
Monday brings the weekly batch of no-fee competitions/contests, paying submission calls, and gigs for those of us who write (especially those of us who write fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction).
The weekly collection of writing-related reflections, news, and resources to read over the weekend.
Have a great weekend, all. I’ll be busy celebrating Rosh Hashanah on Monday, but I’ll make sure there’s a post up for you nonetheless.
