Notes from Around the Web

I enjoyed this article in The Philadelphia Inquirer, profiling two Jewish newspapers: The Forward and The Exponent.

On my tbr list: Margot Singer's new story collection, The Pale of Settlement. Read an interview with the author over on the Nextbook site.

Another recent Nextbook gem: Jessica Apple's extraordinary essay, "Repeating History."

Not sure what to make of the presidential candidates' responses (or lack thereof) to the AJC's Election Questionnaire.

Mark your calendars now for July 4, 2010, when the new National Museum of American Jewish History, profiled in The New York Times this weekend, will open in Philadelphia.
