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

  • “My Grandfather, the French Resistance Fighter”—another stunner of an essay by my friend Rachel Hall, ahead of the publication of her book Heirlooms.
  • Haaretz has its fans and its detractors–and was the subject of this instructive segment on last week’s episode of “The Promised Podcast.”
  • “New Voices — the only national magazine written by and for Jewish college students — is looking to hire for the full-time position of editor-in-chief.”
  • Via Reboot, a new batch of Six-Word Jewish Memoirs (with a focus on Jewish leadership).
  • Finally, there are a number of Jewish-lit items in my own “midweek update” over on the Practicing Writing blog.

    • Shabbat shalom, everyone.

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

  • Want some free copies of Lilith magazine? Check out this offer.
  • Jewish Journal‘s latest poem: “Miriam Lives in Apt. 2C,” by Sivan Butler-Rotholz.
  • Jewcy wants to know: “What Was Your First Experience With Anti-Semitism?”
  • PSA: Guess what’s up on Goodreads??? Put Abigail Pogrebin’s ‪My Jewish Year on your “want-to-read” shelf, and you should be notified as soon as the giveaways commence.
  • And I enjoyed this Chabad.org video that runs through “101 Authors Who Didn’t Write the Bible.”

    • Shabbat shalom.

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

  • See what you think of this Book Riot list of “100 Must-Read Works of Jewish Fiction” (we at Fig Tree Books are pretty happy with #28).
  • Speaking of Jewish fiction: Avital Chizik-Goldschmidt’s “A Holy Fool,” on Tablet, is well worth your time.
  • A new issue of Lilith magazine is now available.
  • From the world of young-adult lit: “11 YA Authors Discuss the Role of Faith in Their Lives,” on the BNTeen blog (and offer some reading recommendations).
  • And an extra-hearty Mazal Tov for everyone recognized by the American Jewish Press Association’s latest Rockower Awards.

    • Shabbat Shalom.

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

  • There are some great job opportunities advertised right now with 70 Faces Media.
  • Plus, a paid internship with Tablet.
  • Check out this new interview on Luna Luna with Ben Nadler, on Jewish literature and The Sea Beach Line.
  • One of this week’s searing reads: Elizabeth Edelglass’s “Abraham and Isaac,” fiction in New Haven Review.
  • Crowdsourcing here: I have a new poem that I’m trying to place (preferably with a paying venue) that I believe would be ideal for Yom HaAtzmaut (May 11-12 this year). Any ideas/contacts? The poem runs just over 200 words and just over 30 lines. Thanks in advance for your help!

    • Shabbat shalom, everyone.
