Jewish Literary Events Galore

So many events coming up! Here's a sampling:

March 21, in NYC: Park Avenue Synagogue presents the book launch of The Prophet's Wife, the unfinished novel of Milton Steinberg. Includes a symposium on March 21. See also details about Anita Diamant's lecture on "Reimagining the Bible: Fiction, Women, and the Power of Untold Stories," on Friday evening, March 20.

April 9, in NYC: "New Perspectives on Jewish Writing with Gary Shteyngart and Amy Sohn," a discussion moderated by Joshua Lambert and followed by a Shabbat dinner.

May 23-25, in Honesdale, Pa.: This exciting workshop on Writing Jewish-Themed Children's Books is, I hear, sold out. But you never know! If you're interested, maybe there's a waitlist. Even if you can't attend, we'll have a follow-up guest post here on My Machberet from workshop leader Barbara Krasner to give you the post-conference scoop.

Ending June 15, in Tel Aviv: This Ha'aretz article introduces an exhibition at the Eretz Israel Museum on poet, playwright, and translator Nathan Alterman.
