Drash: Northwest Mosaicis a new literary review filled with poetry, prose and photos encouraging the redemptive nature of life from Jewish and other perspectives. Jews have always valued the written word and its revelatory nature. Our Torah, filled with human trials and triumphs, contains stories that serve as lessons, inspiration and warning. The scrolls delineate man’s relationships to the spiritual and natural world.
In every time and place, there is commentary to help us understand our worlds – Jewish and non-Jewish, spiritual and secular. We have created a literary review, Drash: Northwest Mosaic , a vehicle for writers, poets, photographers and artists, using Jewish, Northwest and universal themes, to comment on the world, to illuminate and provide connection in our Jewish lives, and to educate and entertain both Jews and non-Jews.
Our inaugural Spring/Summer 2007/5767 issue of Drash is available in Seattle from Temple Beth Am, Tree of Life Books and Judaica, Ravenna Third Place Books and Elliott Bay Books as well as Island Books on Mercer Island, WA, Village Books in Bellingham, WA, Annie Bloom’s in Portland, OR and Rich’s Cigars in Beaverton, OR.
Funding for Drash: Northwest Mosaic comes from the Alfred and Tillie Shemanski Trust Fund, Temple Beth Am, Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle, and from generous individuals and people who purchase the review. Wendy Marcus serves as editor. Robin Asher is the review’s graphic designer. Copy editors are Marti Kanna and Stephanie Kaylin. Prose and poetry review committees read all submissions blind.
We invite you to look at the first forty pages of Drash or read a story in the JTNews or read a review from NewPages.com.
