There are very few poetry collections which grow out of a backstory like the unspeakable one which powers the major Hungarian poet Szilrd Borblys Final Matters, and which left me shaking. At two in the morning, his father had heard noises at the front door: he opened it and was struck on the head, falling unconscious. The poets mother was bludgeoned to death with a meat-ax as she lay in her bed sleeping, translator Ottilie Mulzet writes in her moving and often jaw-dropping afterword

As time goes on, I find that my reading is narrowing to books on Israeli and Jewish matters, including Torah commentary; with fewer novels and less general history and politics. There is only so much territory one can cover!Last January I published a list of new (2018) Jewish/Israeli books that I was reading, from an eclectic group of authors like Einat Wilf, Gil Troy, Yossi Klein Halevi, Yoram Hazony, Aviad Hacohen, Yael Ziegler, Kira Sirote and rabbis Uriel Eitam, Binyamin Tabory and Eitam Henkin.Here are my recommended 2019 books.#IsraeliJudaism: Portrait of a Cultural Revolution, by Shmuel Rosner and Camil Fuchs (JPPI). An innovative study that explains the blended Israeli-Jewish identity that is becoming the majority culture in Israel; both traditional and modern, rooted in religion but also anchored in liberal Zionist nationalism.We Stand Divided: The Rift Between American Jews and Israel, by Daniel Gordis (Ecco).

The correct Hebrew verb for traveling to Jerusalem is laalot to ascend. It is physically and spiritually a journey that requires going up. Nonetheless, this week, the words descended on Jerusalem were more appropriate.
