Who has heard of Yiddish writer Sholem Asch (18801957) or his masterpiece The Nazarene, published in 1939 at the outbreak of the Second World War? The novel's vision of Jewish-Christian harmony endeared him briefly to Christians, as did the sequels The Apostle and Mary, but it lost him some of his Yiddish readers. Some didnt care for a Yiddish Gospel, more were murdered by the Nazis, and the rest had little taste for interfaith reconciliation after the Shoah.

Churchill urged the U.S. and Britain to join in a fraternal association to defend freedom, not only for us and not only for our time, but for a century to come

Amid a blur of hieroglyphs, ankhs and sarcophagi, it was easy to miss a more subtle symbol glinting from Oscar Isaacs neck in last weeks installment of Moon Knight. Unless you happen to be Jewish and watching for signs of Jewish life. In the final minutes of the episode, Isaacs Marc Spector wakes up in Egypt, booze bottle in hand, bare-chested and wearing a Magen David necklace, finally settling over a year of speculation as to whether the MCU would acknowledge the characters Yiddishkeit.

A new book on the Venetian Ghetto, formed by the municipal government of Venice in the early 1500s to confine Italian Jews, explores the ongoing cultural impact of this first-ever such space. Initially intended to segregate and control Jewish people, centuries later during the Second World War, over 1,000 Nazi ghettos were established across Europe to facilitate deportation and murder. Recently, Benjamin Ivry spoke with Katharine Trostel, one of the books coauthors, who teaches English at Ursuline College, Ohio, about inspiration and grief from the Venetian Ghetto legacy.
