Looks like I'll be back in Israel this summer with a week to myself. Any suggestions as to where I can go "off and write" for a week. Perhaps Sfat or Haifa... or south to Eilat.
Any and all suggestions open.

Readings, etc
One of the cool things about being involved in Pilcrow is that I'm suddenly much more aware of readings, book launches and author events going on around the country. Also, my friends are more aware too and are starting to send things my way.
Coming up in New York, Gregory Levey (the best friend of a friend) is launching his new memoir Shut Up, I'm Talking: And Other Diplomacy Lessons I Learned in the Israeli Government -- A Memoir. I wish I could go, alas, I don't live in New York. Maybe you do?

No Tam-Tams for Passover this year!?
I know - I thought the same thing. But here is a link to the article from today's NYT!

New books from former Sofer faculty members
Alan Shapiro has a new book of poetry, Old War. Here's a link to it on Amazon. I've loved everything I've read in it so far, and was especially excited to read "Egg Rolls," a poem he shared at his reading last year. Adam Langer's novel is also just out. Here's a link to it on Amazon. I'll be getting to it soon. Have you read either of these? I also saw that Jennifer Gilmore sold her second book and that it will be out next year. Good luck to all of our faculty alumni!
Photos from Sofer!
Here are a few photos from the Sofer weekend.Top: Jason Sommer; Middle: Aaron Hamburger; Bottom: Dara Horn. (On a side note, I'm hoping we get to read the Dara's new story "Shteytl World" again some time soon!)

Pilcrow Lit Fest
Since you are all in the area, I wanted to make sure you have information about the Pilcrow Lit Fest coming up Memorial Day weekend in Chicago. I'm on the staff and it should be no surprise that we are blogging.
Come join us for two days of great panels and a fund raiser for the New Orleans Public Libraries.
