Jewish Fiction.net’s Thirteenth Issue

Jewish Fiction .net is delighted to announce its Thirteenth Issue!

Welcome to this special issue of Jewish Fiction .net! It’s hard to believe that this is our 13^th (our bar mitzvah!) issue — so in honour of this, you’ll find two stories here involving bar mitzvahs. This is also, of course, our Pesach issue, so here you have, as well, two Pesach stories (plus another half of one: the Appelfeld excerpt, which starts on Purim and ends on Pesach).

In addition, we bring you 13 (!) first-rate works of fiction, originally written in Russian, Spanish, Yiddish, Hebrew, and English. Altogether 18 (chai) stories for your pleasure. For more details, please see our preface.

We hope you enjoy these stories. If you do, please let us know on Goodreads.

And last but not least, we wish you and those you love a happy, meaningful, and liberating Pesach. Chag sameach v’kasher! from all of us at
