Welcome to the April Jewish Book Carnival, where we gather links from folks in the Jewish book world- librarians, authors, booksellers, and more, to create community and share our work and writing.
The carnival was started by Heidi Rabinowitz and myself to build community among bloggers and blogs who feature Jewish books. It runs every month on the 15th (or close to the 15th when it falls on Shabbat).
Author Talia Carner shared her PBS TV interview about THE BOY WITH THE STAR TATTOO, which was recently published by William Morrow & Company.
Bluma Lange shared her Substack post Hirsch Lekert: One Jew Is Enough:History, Myth, Religion and the Personal, from her ongoing Substack on Yiddish literature. Check it out and be sure to subscribe for free.
