I'm proud to present the May, 2018 Jewish Book Carnival. This is a blog carnival that floats around the world on various Jewish blogs. If you'd like to host one of the monthly editions, then email carnival@jewishlibraries.org and reserve your month.
I hope you click, visit, comment, share the various reviews/blog posts. Enjoy!
At Life Is Like a Library, Chava Pinchuck had a fabulous day in Mishkenot Sha'ananim attending the Jerusaelm International Writers Festival, meeting with author Anna Levine, and doing a test run on Tali Kaplinski Tarlow's new ScaVentures Jerusalem: The Experiential Guidebook:
The International Writers Festival 2018
Over on the Jewish Book Review, Rivka Levy uncovers a book that literally changes her life. You can find out how, HERE.
Barbara Krasner at The Whole Megillah interviews memoirist Mimi Schwartz, author of the newly released When History Is Personal (University of Nebraska Press, 2018). Author’s Notebook | When History Is Personal by Mimi Schwartz
From the My Machberet blog, Erika Dreifus sends in some reflections inspired by Yossi Klein Halevi's Letters to My Palestinian Neighbor.
Deborah Kalb interviews a wide range of authors on her website, deborahkalbbooks.blogspot.com. Here's a recent Q&A she did with Elissa Brent Weissman on her new middle grade novel for kids, The Length of a String.
And here's mine. Wonderful Aliyah Story, "From Big Whine to Big Grapes." We bloggers do consider ourselves writers and journalists, but very few of us take the giant step into publishing actual books. Ruti (Mizrachi) Eastman has taken that great daring leap and published "From Big Whine to Big Grapes"
Again, if you'd like to host or have any questions about this series, email carnival@jewishlibraries.org.

Jews often feel pride because of the number
of Jewish Nobel Prize winners [and often
overlooked, Jewish Nobel Prize nominees],
but the Jewish people is also amazing for
the number of distinguished authors it produces.
Just one quick example:
When I was five years old, I did not
realize that my favorite book-at-that-time,
WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE, was
written by Maurice Sendak, who was Jewish.
That book is considered to be a classic.
