CELEBRATING THE TENTH ANNIVERSARY YEAR OF JEWISH FICTION .NET!
Watch here our webinar (April 28): Exploring Jewish Women's Fiction as Mirrors Into Jewish Women's Lives
Welcome to our Purim & Pesach issue! In honour of these joyful holidays and the tenth anniversary year of Jewish Fiction .net, we bring you an especially rich issue of Jewish Fiction .net: 23 marvelous stories originally written in Yiddish, Hebrew, and English. These include a story about Purim (“The Feast of Esther”), two about Pesach (“What Elijah Brought” and “Plagued”), and one that is intentionally set in between these two holidays (“Serah”). The first two of these four stories take place during Covid.
We also invite you to enjoy Jewish Fiction .net by joining us for our first-ever online program - or, if you missed it, by watching it here: Exploring Jewish Women's Fiction as Mirrors Into Jewish Women's Lives. Hosted by the Hadassah-Brandeis Institute, Dr. Nora Gold, our editor, discusses some of the women's writing in Jewish Fiction .net and interviews two authors (one Israeli, one American) from our new issue.
