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

  • “Israeli film officials say Israeli-American actress Natalie Portman will direct her first feature film, based on an autobiographical novel by celebrated Israeli writer Amos Oz.”
  • Over on Tablet: a wonderful piece about I.B. Singer’s “The Son from America”–and what it’s like to teach the story today at a Catholic college.
  • i24news is a new source for English-language news from Israel. (h/t HonestReporting.com)
  • The Forward is looking for a Digital Media Producer.
  • Finally, in case you missed it yesterday, please forgive the additional mention of my new essay, “Beyond Birthright: How Fortysomethings Can Cultivate Jewish Connections.” Including Jewish cultural connections.

    • Shabbat shalom.

    Every Friday morning My Machberet presents an assortment of links, primarily of the literary variety.

  • In a smart blog post (does she write anything that isn’t smart?) sparked by a current Kveller series, Rebecca Klempner asks readers to share book/magazine suggestions for enhancing the “G-d Talk” with kids. (She also offers a few suggestions of her own.)
  • A lovely poem by David Y.B. Kaufmann, “Walking to Shul.”
  • People are talking (well, blogging & tweeting, anyway) about Michael Wex’s new project: an indiegogo campaign to fund “a translation of Joseph Opatoshu’s unbelievably great Yiddish novel, In the Forests of Poland, into an English as compulsively readable as the original.”
  • “The Hadassah-Brandeis Institute (HBI) at Brandeis University is looking for a Communications Coordinator. The person supports the communications efforts of the HBI and 614 eZine websites; creating and executing the e-mail campaigns; improving social media visibility; event promotion and outreach; analyzing web traffic and trends; and developing online partnerships.”
  • And on a more personal note: I hope that you’ll take a few moments to read my sister’s first essay/post for The Jewish Week‘s New Normal blog.

    • Shabbat shalom.
