Our Spring Issue
Mark Anderson’s cover for Spring 2020 illustrates a superhero (with Jewish origins) and David Ben-Gurion. The issue includes Anita Shapira’s review of Tom Segev’s new biography of the great Israeli statesman and Michael Weingrad on a Stan Lee (of Marvel Comics fame) bio.
We also asked 10 brilliant friends to write mini-essays about the Jewish book that meant the most to them over the last decade:
- Leora Batnitzky
- Eric Cohen
- Matti Friedman
- Allegra Goodman
- Adam Kirsch
- Ruby Namdar
- Alana Newhouse
- Barri Weiss
- Ruth Wisse
- Steven Zipperstein
and more…
