I first met Sue Eisenfeld more than five years ago, when I interviewed her for Publishers Weekly. I had no idea that one routine question I asked would stay with her and get her thinking about how she was raised, and whether it was, in fact, Jewish at all. judithmagazine.substack.com/p/a-nice-jew...
A Nice Jewish Home
Sue Eisenfeld pieces together the threads of her early years and discovers a richer Jewish foundation than she once believed.

A friend told me that he ordered my book as a gift for his girlfriend. And that reminded me that gift-giving season is upon us, and my novel, "Found and Lost: The Jake and Cait Story," is the perfect expression of love for somebody you care about. vineleavespress.myshopify.com/products/fou...

I just returned to Michigan from NYC after participating in a few Jewish authors' events. I'll write more about them soon, but I'm excited about all the ways the Jewish literary community is fighting back after more than two years of marginalization. It was also heartening to find my "tribe."

I’ve known my friend and colleague @erikadreifus.bsky.social for about 10 years, but we met in person for the first time yesterday in NYC at the Toasting Jewish Authors event hosted by 70 Faces Media and the @jewishbookcouncil.bsky.social. It was wonderful to finally connect.
November 18, 2025 at 8:19 AM
Looking forward to this! I’ll be on a panel with some fellow Jewish authors.

Happy Jewish Book Month! The mainstream literary community has blacklisted Jewish books and authors since October 7, 2023, because they think our voices don't matter and won't sell. They're wrong, but let's prove it by buying Jewish books! #JewishBookMonth

More praise for my novel, "Found and Lost: The Jake and Cait Story." "Joins the ranks of beloved fictional rock and roll stories like Daisy Jones and the Six, Mary Jane, and Songs in Ursa Major ... A story so poignant and real it seems as if it were true." www.amazon.com/Found-Lost-J...

When Yardenne Greenspan asked if I wanted a piece for Judith Magazine that captured both the horror and relief Jews are feeling at this moment, I eagerly said yes. We’ve all been through so much, and we could use some perspective. Read her powerful essay. judithmagazine.substack.com/p/now-what
Now What?
Yardenne Greenspan reflects on the collective wound binding Jewish communities and the struggle for unity amid disillusionment and rising antisemitism.

In my editing business, I take on Jewish-themed manuscripts because authors know I'm well-versed in the subject. Memoirs related to October 7 are reaching me now. I just finished editing one from the unique perspective of an American Jewish teenager navigating hatred.

When a nation lurches between fascism and communism, it is usually the Jews who suffer from both sides. Don't believe me? Learn from my grandfather's experiences in Hungary a century ago. howardlovy.substack.com/p/memories-f...
Memories From My Grandfather: 'White Terror' in Hungary, 1919-1921
My grandfather was ten when his cousin came home a true believer—ready to serve the communist revolution and betray his own people.

I was interviewed for the @newbooksnetwork.bsky.social about my novel, "Found and Lost: The Jake and Cait Story." The podcaster is a religion lecturer, so some of the conversation was focused on religious and spiritual aspects of my book. It was a great discussion. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

I'm narrating my audiobook now, and I wish I had never written the phrase "floral fragrance." It took me about a dozen tries to get it right.

If you haven't already, check out my novel. “As a young guitarist and violinist, Jake and Cait created something transcendent until the music stopped.

I've been a book editor for a long time, but a recently added feature to my work is undoing the damage ChatGPT has done to writing. By now, I've developed my own intuition as an AI detector. The prose suddenly becomes too perfectly devoid of character or laughably flowery. #amediting

One theme in my novel, "Found and Lost: The Jake and Cait Story," is how music plays a spiritual role for the Jewish and Christian protagonists. That's why I'm happy Ilana Maymind, a religious studies lecturer, interviewed me for her New Books Network podcast. newbooksnetwork.com/found-and-lost

Agents say one bright spot in the Jewish literary scene is the bestselling book "Hostage" by Eli Sharabi. Not because of its subject matter, but because it's defying the mainstream literary view that Jewish and Israeli stories won't sell. www.amazon.com/Hostage-Eli-...

Hostage - Kindle edition by Sharabi, Eli. Download it once and read it on your Kindle device, PC, phones or tablets. Use features like bookmarks, note taking and highlighting while reading Hostage.

Thank you to @honestreporting.com for quoting me in their piece, "Did Popular NPR Podcast Break Its Own Journalistic Standards?" It's about how Code Switch invented a split in US Jewry based on interviews with anti-Zionist tokens. honestreporting.com/did-popular-...
Did Popular NPR Podcast Break Its Own Journalistic Standards? | HonestReporting
NPR's Code Switch breached its own journalistic standards when it presented only fringe anti-Israel voices as representative of U.S. Jewry.
