Welcome to our Chanukah issue! Here you’ll find 12 splendid stories, originally written in Yiddish, Hebrew, and English. And in honour of the upcoming holiday, one of them is a Chanukah story: “Rock of Ages.”
Also for your enjoyment: an excellent, thoughtful article about Jewish Fiction .net, “Jewish Fiction Thrives in the Digital Era,” which came out this month in The Jerusalem Report. (Non-subscribers can read this article here.)
And if you are interested in Ruth Wisse’s new memoir (or Yiddish literature in general), here is the book review written by our editor, Dr. Nora Gold, which was recently published in The Montréal Review.
