This. Build our own institutions. They'll succeed.
"#Keene is the eponymous tastemaker at the helm of a new #imprint within #WickedSonPress, a 5-year-old #publisher that has released mostly #nonfiction that leans right.
#MegKeene #Books will release four to six #novels over the next year that she and #WickedSon’s founders believe will elevate #Jewish voices and reconstruct a bygone communal Jewish #literary conversation. She’ll also edit a forthcoming #literarymagazine designed to shape the Jewish #book-buying audience.
“My goal is to make Jewish #publishing feel really cool,” Keene told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
“I’m planning to acquire books across genres — male authors, female authors, romance, thriller, literary fiction — you know, the works,” she added. “I also intend to put everything I have behind each book, and sort of ask the Jewish community to support these books and make the case for them.”

It would be exciting to stop begging for inclusion and just suck it up and move on.
"#Jewish #writers say they are dismayed to learn that one of the nation’s largest free outdoor #literary festivals is scheduled to take place during the two days of #RoshHashanah, September 12 and 13.
#PrintersRowLitFest, an outdoor #bookfestival that draws thousands of #authors and $book lovers to the streets of #Chicago’s South Loop, announced the festival’s dates in April. But only recently, amid rising concerns about #antisemitism in the #publishing world, did some Jewish authors realize the schedule conflict. This year’s Rosh Hashanah begins at sundown on Friday, Sept. 11 and ends at sundown on Sunday, Sept. 13.
#BrianBerg, a spokesman for #PrintersRow, said that scheduling difficulties caused the overlap with Rosh Hashanah."

the long tides of our shadows have receded
the long tides of our shadows have receded
#Dawn #DramaticPoetry #earlyModernEurope #HistoricalFiction #Imagery #literary #literature #marketDay #Poetry #SerialPoetry #SpokenWord #Wittenberg #writing
this morning early as we walked
away from the beginning of the sunrise
these shadows washed far they flowed deep
into collegienstrasse toward the market
they flooded away before us
four times the length of our height then three
darkened the cobblestones
like wednesday’s rain did
like the shadows of water darken
the pebbles in the flaming* stream
flooded into the square as we arrived there
all the sunrise long our shadows receded
now it’s midday
the stones in the street have returned to the colour of dry
all that’s left of our shadows
are the puddles in which we stand
by collegienstrasse return
toward the sky the morning sun’s abandoned
return to my chamber and fetch my pail for water
step out of your own shade
into the shadow of your foot
*Fläming Heath- The Fläming Heath[1][2] (German pronunciation: [ˈflɛːmɪŋ] ⓘ) is a region and hill chain that reaches over 100 km from the Elbe river to the Dahme River in the German states Saxony-Anhalt and Brandenburg. -

"Modern #textual #scholarship has shown that #ToledotYeshu never existed as a single, fixed #composition. Unlike the #Mishna or the #Talmud, whose textual traditions gradually stabilized through widespread printing, Toledot Yeshu remained fluid for centuries. #Scribes copied from whatever exemplars were available, frequently introducing additions, omissions, stylistic revisions, and entirely new #narrative episodes. Rather than preserving a single "original" version, the #manuscript tradition reflects a living #text continually reshaped by its transmitters.
The #Łomżamanuscript is especially noteworthy because it preserves a substantially expanded #recension. Its elaborate title-page introduction immediately distinguishes it from many simpler copies. Throughout the text, the #Hebrew is unusually polished, employing a consciously #biblical style that lends the narrative an air of #antiquity and #literary refinement."

look at the vagabond
look at the vagabond
#DramaticPoetry #earlyModernEurope #HistoricalFiction #Imagery #literary #literature #outcast #Poetry #SerialPoetry #SpokenWord #transient #writing
see that his ears are cropped
ask was it yesterday his feet
were locked in the stocks
ask was it last week he couldn’t
pull his head nor his hands from the pillory
say tell me stranger
was it a month ago the good people
of wittenburg threw offal at you
smell that he’s putrid
ask if under the wool of his doublet
the once white linen of his smock is slashed
with dried blood ask if he was whipped
ask if for the hours of the night
or if for years of a long dark he was
fettered in the dungeon under job’s castle1
look that his eyes blink against daylight
or that it’s his terrors that blink his eyes say
to the man who walks the world alone
return with me to the town
i’ll give you a company to walk with
and a regiment to walk with the company

"The #Jewish #Literary Foundation has announced the return of its Jewish #Playwrights Programme for 2026/27, with applications opening to playwrights across the #UK for the first time. The programme will support the development of a full-length #play, helping foster the next generation of Jewish playwrights and championing #stories that reflect the richness and diversity of Jewish life in #Britain.
Building on the success of its inaugural year, the Jewish Literary Foundation returns with its flagship development programme, which will support eight emerging and early-career playwrights from across the UK to develop new work for the #stage."
