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

  • This week brought us the February Jewish Book Carnival. Check out the news, reviews, and interviews therein.
  • Digital-media fellowship available with Moment magazine.
  • Job announcement seeking a PJ Library Coordinator in Boston. (This is a part-time position.)
  • I really need to set aside some time to catch up on the “Israel in Translation” archives.
  • Appreciation to Marjorie Ingall for acknowledging (on Tablet) the great job Kveller has done (and continues to do) spotlighting the experiences of Jewish families that include children with disabilities.

    • Shabbat Shalom.

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

  • The Jewish Week‘s Gary Rosenblatt shares observations on “Jewish America” as gleaned through the prism of his cross-country book tour.
  • I greatly admired Gail Hareven’s The Confessions of Noa Weber (trans. Dalya Bilu); Adam Kirsch’s review of Hareven’s newly translated Lies, First Person, has me eager to read more.
  • Earlier this week, The Whole Megillah’s Barbara Krasner was kind enough to post an interview with me.
  • The March/April 2015 issue of Poets & Writers spotlights Fig Tree Books, the Jewish fiction-focused publishing company where I work.
  • And Fig Tree also receives some generous attention in The Jewish Week‘s spring books preview.

    • Shabbat shalom!

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

  • Coming in March, in Boston: an evening seminar on Writing About Religion, taught by Linda K. Wertheimer at GrubStreet.
  • Mazal tov to the 2015 Sydney Taylor Book Awards winners and honorees.
  • On the Moment magazine blog, Nomi Eve and Stephanie Feldman discuss “Why We Write Jewish Historical Fiction.”
  • There’s always something thought-provoking on the Hevria site. This week, I was especially moved by Chaya Lester’s “The Laryngitis of Jewish Women.”
  • And last–but not least!–the January edition of the Fig Tree Books newsletter. Complete with giveaway info for three upcoming novels of Jewish interest.

    • Shabbat shalom.

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

  • Over on The Whole Megillah, you’ll find the latest Jewish Book Carnival–news, reviews & interviews galore.
  • In which Abe Mezrich argues that the late Robert Stone was “one of the greatest non-Jewish Jewish writers.”
  • Beyond “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” Gabe Friedman summarizes the raising of the profile of author Stefan Zweig.
  • On Hevria, Chaya Lester offers “Welcome, Paris. With Love, From Jerusalem.”
  • And a France-related post of my own–including some specifically French-Jewish content–on my other blog.

    • Shabbat shalom.
