  1. The "Zol zayn Shulem" series I wrote, is now featured at the American Jewish Book Council, "Author's on Tour." This organisation is mind blowing, and it is so good to see how many authors of the widest variety of Jewish backgrounds are still trying to write and publish books about Jewish themes, novels, the history of the Shoah, Israel, Antisemitism, religious commentary, biographies on all sorts of lives lived, overcoming trauma, food, love, ...

  10. "When comedy writer and Reboot friend Rob Kutner decided to write a comedic history of the Jews, The Jews: 5,000 Years and Counting, released this week, he figured he had enough experience making depressing political news funny that he could navigate the complicated history.

    But then October 7 happened, forcing him to rethink everything. In a blog for Reboot, Kutner explains how he grappled with the new challenge by embracing some advice from his editor: “We’ve been through worse. We’re not going anywhere.” He realized Jews have continued to grow, pivot, and flourish even in the face of every pressure not to."

  15. A new book about Oct. 7 aims to depict the humanity behind the horror
    By Andrew Silow-Carroll September 11, 2024

    "On Thursday, Yaron will be appearing on a virtual panel, sponsored by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency and the National Library of Israel, with Amir Tibon, the Haaretz journalist whose new book, “The Gates of Gaza,” describes how he was rescued from Kibbutz Nahal Oz on Oct. 7 by his own father...

    ...Hamas didn’t discriminate among left-wing kibbutzniks, blissed-out club kids or right-wing followers of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Nor did they spare Bedouins, Thai and Nepalese migrant workers, or the Christian and Muslim Arabs who, she writes, “had the gall to live among Jews as fellow citizens.”

  37. How Gabrielle Zevin’s ‘Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow’ became an unlikely lightning rod in literary fights over the Israel-Hamas war, By Andrew Lapin July 23, 2024

    "...Zevin has never publicized any of her views on Israel. But she has become an unlikely poster figure for the culture wars around Israel that have permeated arts & culture spaces, particularly the literary world, since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war. ...A manager at a Chicago bookstore, City Lit, told book club members that they could no longer vote to read Zevin’s book owing to her perceived Zionism.

    “It was brought to my attention that the author Gabrielle Zevin is a Zionist, and I am not comfortable having us reading something by her, especially knowing people would buy it from the store & she would receive monetary support from us,” the assistant manager wrote in an email..."

    *Perceived zionism* = being Jewish.
