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

  • About the Jewish children’s book that has incensed anti-vaxxers.
  • Giveaway alert! Win a copy of The Going, an inspiring and insightful new book—part-spiritual memoir, part-learned reflection—by Shalom Hartman Institute faculty member Leon Wiener Dow.
  • In the vein of the perennial debates of what makes any given book “a Jewish book,” JTA editor-in-chief Andrew Silow-Caroll recently mused about what makes news “Jewish news.”
  • “The Canadian government has officially recognized the national historic significance of two seminal Montreal Jewish writers of the early 20th century, Hirsch Wolofsky and A.M. Klein.”
  • ICYMI: I had two poems published on the Jewcy site last Friday. One poem corresponded to last week’s Torah portion, but the other remains relevant each and every Shabbat!
  • Shabbat shalom.

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

  • The latest “Israel in Translation” podcast spotlights “Israel’s impact on a particular literary endeavor in Gaza.”
  • The blog formerly known as Jewesses with Attitude has been re-launched as Jewish Women, Amplified.
  • “Washington Jewish Week, a print and multi-platform digital publication covering the capital region’s diverse Jewish community, is looking for an enthusiastic, quick-learning general assignment reporter/writer to join our Rockville-based news team full time. Our ideal candidate has experience with and enjoys writing both news and feature stories, knows the Jewish community of greater Washington and has social media experience.”
  • Dispatch from Jerusalem about Annette Gendler (and her book!).
  • And ICYMI: This week brought a new episode of the wonderful Hevria podcast. And guess who was host Elad Nehorai’s guest?
  • Shabbat shalom.
