Martin Samuel Cohen, author of The Boy on the Door on the Ox, spent the past week guest blogging on Jewcy.  Much like his book, Cohen took us on a journey through the Mishnah, beginning with some words on the text's true significance, followed by advice on how to put all those college reading assignments to good use.  Then he talked about what makes "great" literature great, gave us the inside story on Aviv Press, and parted with a gracious farewell. Did Martin give you Mishnah mania?  Then go buy his book!

Joshua Henkin, author of Matrimony, spent the past week guest blogging on Jewcy.  He teed off with a post about the election of Barack Obama to the presidency.  Then he critiqued the expression of certain decades film and literature, followed with a startling revelation that Joshua Henkin is fat, pondered the meaning of the term "Jewish American fiction," and finally, he deduced that fiction doesn't need reasons.  Got a hankering for more Henkin?  Buy his book!

Shifra Bronznick, Didi Goldenhar, and Marty Linsky, co-authors of Leveling the Playing Field: Advancing Women in Jewish Organizational Life, spent the past week guest blogging on Jewcy.
