For those of you who like such things, an interesting and helpful list: A catalogue of the works that shape the Jewish mind in America today from The Tablet . The choices express “the collective inheritance of the Jewish people as read by Jews like us in America.” The list includes books in specifically Jewish categories like “The Jew in the world” and more general, though Jewish inflected, categories like “The appetites” and “Laughing and Complaining.”
You have a decision to make: double or nothing.
For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.
In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.
So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?
Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
