Notes from Around the Web

The always-sagacious Josh Lambert rounds up a group of "beach reads" for Tablet.
==========
The New York Times follows up on the brouhaha surrounding a new play, Imagining Madoff.
==========
Benjamin Ivry writes about Frédéric Chouraki's new novel, La Guerre de Kippour (the subject matter isn't quite what you may guess from the title).
==========
The Poetry Foundation takes note of a collection of Yiddish poetry (translated by Dr. Sarah Traister Moskovitz) originally written by Jews who were trapped in the Warsaw ghetto.
==========
Sarah Seltzer reflects on being the only Jew in her MFA program's incoming cohort. Brought back quite a few memories of my own similar experience. (via @JewishMuse)
==========
Paid internship opportunities at Tablet magazine.
==========
And still more from Tablet: Rachel Shukert (whose work I've mentioned here in the past) has a new book out, and Tablet is co-hosting a celebration next Tuesday.

Shabbat shalom!
