A Jewish man, someone I know, was shot on his way to synagogue by a man who screamed Allahu Akbar while shooting at police who arrived shortly after. The Jewish man only survived because the shooter's gun temporarily jammed. Chicago police are currently not charging the shooter…
I enjoyed speaking with Alan Rosenbaum of the Jerusalem Post who cites me in his fascinating piece on pilgrimage and Sukkot in the ancient world. For anyone looking for an edifying distraction from current events, you might enjoy this article - not least because it speaks to the…
Thank you for sharing my @Tablet piece @avitalrachel, and for all you do to combat the scourge of antisemitism in the public sphere tinyurl.com/3ahzjck2
"In response to exclusion, Jews must build their own centers of knowledge. Every person who cares about Jewish ideas, moreover, should view themselves as a repository of creative knowledge, and view the production of knowledge as an act of resistance against the scourge of…
Thank you @ronisito for sharing my recent @tabletmag piece on the antisemitism taking place at all levels of our educational institutions. Isolating Jews, holding them to different standards, demonizing them - and telling them that none of what they see happening is in fact…
so excited to see what my friend @Malka_Simkovich will create at JPS jews need to reinvest in our instituions, rebuild, reimagine and create new spaces and possibilities tabletmag.com/sections/arts-…
Tonight we Jews will be thinking about the incomprehensible bravery and resilience of Hersh and hundreds of other Israelis kidnapped by Hamas, who have been killed or who remain alive in captivity. We'll also be thinking of their families and loved ones reeling from this…
I am devastated by the news that Hersh Goldberg-Polin was among the Israeli hostages whose bodies were found in Gaza today. These hostages were murdered by Hamas after months in captivity. Just last week, the whole nation was deeply moved as Rachel and Jon Polin took the stage…
Thanks very much to @StuHalpern for his generous review of my book! The thesis that the category of diaspora was invented by Jews who lived in the Land of Israel, and that Jews outside the Land never used the term diaspora or worked with the idea of diaspora, is one that, just as…
Most Jews in L.A. & Tel Aviv likely haven’t heard of the Egyptian island the ancients called Yeb. Yet as @Malka_Simkovich’s great new book shows, the dynamic between Jews there and their coreligionists in Judea reverberates today. My latest. jewishjournal.com/commentary/opi…
I'm so looking forward to being in conversation with my extraordinary frolleagues (friends+colleagues), Dr. Mehnaz Afridi and Dr. Rita George Tvrtkovic on September 18th, and am deeply appreciative to Dr. Jovi Geraci for moderating our conversation. Mehnaz and Rita are models for…
The first academic review of my new book, Letters From Home: The Creation of Diaspora in Jewish Antiquity, is out. Thanks to Dr. Daniel L. Smith-Christopher for this generous response! catholicbooksreview.org/2024/Simkovich…
I’m incredibly excited to be joining the Jewish Publication Society as its incoming Director and Editor-in-Chief. This organization is deeply personal to me: my first internship was at JPS’s Philadelphia offices in 2003, and its director, Rabbi Barry Schwartz, commissioned my…
JPS Welcomes New Director and Editor-in-Chief Dr. Malka Z. Simkovich The Jewish Publication Society is pleased to welcome our new Director and Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Malka Z. Simkovich, who will join JPS on September 1, 2024. Dr. Simkovich joins JPS after serving as the…
My first cab after landing in Israel last night was with a Bedouin driver who spent a half hour telling me about his son who serves in the IDF (and showing me pictures on his phone while speeding down the highway) and going on and on, in Hebrew with a smattering of Arabic, about…
This is indeed the scariest part of this story. There are countless people - not merely elected leaders - who are watching this and shrugging their shoulders, deciding not to speak out against violent Jew-hatred because they worry that doing so will cost them too much social…
these terrorists told us when and where they were coming. For a week, we pleaded with our elected leaders to speak up. Not one made a public statement condemning these extremists. We pleaded up with our elected leaders to protect us but LAPD told us these elected officials…4/
After five years of researching and writing and revising, my book on Israel-Diaspora relations in antiquity is finally out! You can purchase it at a.co/d/8dY6TTz or at eisenbrauns.org/books/titles/9…, where you can read more about the project (and some very gracious…
Now available: Letters from Home: The Creation of Diaspora in Jewish Antiquity • Malka Simkovich @Malka_Simkovich amzn.to/3VPSAmk
This morning, the Jewish Review of Books published Dr. Yonatan Adler's response to my review of his book, The Origins of Judaism, in their most recent Winter issue, as well as my response. The core of our debate concerns how we select particular methods to define Jews and…
Want to know what happened after a child screamed "The Nazis are coming for you!" from a school bus across the street, outside of Bessie Rhodes school, at our children who were playing outside our front yard? Nothing. Nothing happened. After repeatedly reaching out to the school…
