Have you seen Mort Gerberg’s new book – The All-Jewish Cartoon Collection – it’s hilarious, Check it out out at booksbyzeus.com

I was sent an advance copy to review and I think its one of the funniest book dipicting Jewish themes I seen in years.
I know Mort does great work for The New Yorker, but his book connects and resonates “Jewishness” in a warm fun loving way. Great book!

Dear Ellen,
You can create youtube videos on your site by copying the embed link to the right of any youtube video and pasting that into your website!

Hi!
My name is Jon Bernstein; I’m a community manager for Barnes&Noble.com
I wanted to let you know that we just opened a new area in our community for discussion of religious and spiritual books, both fiction and non-fiction.
This is part of the Book Clubs, our online messageboards. Registration is completely free and everyone is welcome to join in.
The board is located here: http://bookclubs.barnesandnoble.com/bn/board?board.id=religion
I thought that you and your readers might like to know about this board. Please come join us and share your thoughts and experiences on religion and spirituality in literature.
Hope to see you there!
Jon

Do you have a section for Jewish graphic novels? I’d like to get mine included in the discussion;the “Comic Book Siddur”
http://www.comicbooksiddur.com
I’m interested in the ethical considerations involved in making a comic book styled translation of sacred literature
