Lilith magazine has extended the deadline for its annual fiction contest to January 1, 2010. This competition seeks "unpublished original stories with heart, soul and chutzpah illuminating issues in the lives of Jewish women" and awards $250 plus publication.

New from Tablet: David Kaufmann's monthly column on Jewish poetry. You'll recall that I'm already a fan of Josh Lambert's weekly book column there, which most recently looked at books focused on "immigrants and émigrés."

A beautiful, beautiful column by Gary Rosenblatt in this week's Jewish Week.
