.@IKershner's new book, "The Land of Hope and Fear," is out today. I spoke to her about her treks from Bnei Brak to Sakhnin, Esh Kodesh to Lod, the banks of the Asi River to the gravesite of the Baba Sali, and what every site says about modern Israel. https://t.co/sXeA114q94

Just in time for Purim, my conversation with @jennycaplan about her new book, "Funny, You Don't Look Funny," on the shifts over time in Jewish jokes and comedy, including the approach to Holocaust humor. https://t.co/UlckNxW1vE
