"One of the most impressive collections of #Hebraic and #Jewish #literature today is to be found in Washington’s #LibraryofCongress. Its collection of #Judaica, started in 1912 with a gift of some 10,000 #books from Jacob H. Schiff, now has 250,000 books, #periodicals, and #newspapers. To celebrate this collection, #Brandeis University has just issued Books Like Sapphires, written by Ann Brener, who highlights a selection of the books in the library, dividing the large format book into sections that cover the #Hebrew Bible, the literature of the sages, children’s books, and so forth."

📖 Tevye the Dairyman & Motl the Cantor's Son 📚

As a big fan of Fiddler on the Roof, I decided I should read the original Tevye stories. First published in 1894, Tevye 'tells' Aleichem the tales of his family, focusing on six of his seven daughters, Tzeitel, Chava, Hodel, Shprintze, Taybele, and Bielke. I was surprised by how different these tales proved to be from musical.
But the highlight here is the delightful adventures of the 'orphan' Motl in Aleichem's unfinished novel Motl and the Cantor's Son. These tales take us on the journey from poverty in the Shtetl, across Europe to the promise land of America. Motls' take on life is endearing and funny. I am amazed that these stories have never made it to film!

Antizionist Jewish Club stickers from Hannah and Laser Bloc over at acab.city, over on my ko-fi for Stormbringer Press!

I have the NightOwl limited run of the design on a shirt, and I'm proud to wear it even as it's hard to navigate the division in Jewish communities haunted by the specter of Zionism.

Now you can rep it on your goods and on our communities!

Matzah Bakery

Illustration by Linda Feinberg

"I based this illustration off a photo I took at the matzah bakery in Kiryat Sanz (Netanya, Israel). The bakers were being timed by a rabbi with a stopwatch (not pictured), to ensure the entire process, from beginning to end, doesn’t exceed the strict 18-minute time frame required for kosher matzahs."

Kishke King! A Frank built for two! 14 bites ... 10 inches long!
Free cole slaw, cucumber salad, chopped tomatoes! And oy those prices!
I love Kishke ... but you probably don’t.
