In this episode: Caroline Leavitt and Annabelle Gurwitch’s essays for the anthology [3:20] Caroline and Annabelle’s experiences with anti-Semitism [4:27] The impact of a children’s storyteller on Caroline’s understanding of what it means to be Jewish [8:16] The importance of art and storytelling in fostering empathy and understanding [12:41] The call of our ancestral DNA during this fraught moment [22:24] Advice for jewish writers navigating this challenging and important time in Jewish history [24:36] The power of three little words [29:09] Connect with Caroline Leavitt Twitter. @leavittnovelist Instagram carolineleavitt Threads https://www.instagram.com/carolineleavitt/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/carolineleavitt TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@carowriter99 Website: www.carolineleavitt.com Annabelle Gurwitch photo credit jeff vespa Connect with Annabelle Gurwitch Facebook https://www.facebook.com/annabellegurwitchauthor/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/annabellegurwitch1/ X: https://x.com/lagurwitch?lang=en Website: https://www.annabellegurwitch.com/ About On Being Jewish Now Zibby Owens has edited a new anthology, which Zibby Books is publishing, called On Being Jewish Now: Reflections from Authors and Advocates. Profits will be donated to Artists Against Antisemitism, a 501(c)(3) founded by Alison Hammer that Zibby joined as a Founding Member after the attacks on October 7th, 2023. On Being Jewish Now (coming 10/1) is a collection of essays about what it means to be Jewish and how Jewish life has changed since October 7th. Zibby came up with the idea for this anthology in response to feeling powerless against the spread of antisemitism. “Writing — and reading — is how so many of us process and make sense of the world,” she said. And so Zibby thought, I’ll ask writers to reflect on what it means to be Jewish now. Seventy-five contributors came together in four weeks to share their stories of love, family, joy, fear, and pain, and the common threads that course through the Jewish people: resilience and humor. Contributors include Mark Feuerstein, Jill Zarin, Steve Leder, Joanna Rakoff, Amy Ephron, Lisa Barr, Annabelle Gurwitch, Daphne Merkin, Bradley Tusk, Sharon Brous, Jenny Mollen, Nicola Kraus, Caroline Leavitt, and many others. Among them: descendants of Holocaust survivors, several Israelis, and one author who lost a cousin in the war. There are men and women, multiple bookstore owners, several celebrities, and some female founders. One African American contributor shares his thoughts on being a Jewish Black man. The e-book and audiobook, narrated by the contributors, was published on October 1st, the trade paperback on November 1st. “This is about healing,” says Zibby. “About coping and connecting. In the only way I know how.” Zibby Owen’s episode #36 on Freelance Writing Direct https://estelleserasmus.com/36-zibby-owens-is-upending-the-publishing-world/ Connect with Estelle Erasmus ​​FREE PITCHING GUIDE: Find out more about this episode at https://estelleserasmus.com/podcast.
