Good news for those not yet subscribed to the Jewish Currents news desk newsletter: Most of today's edition is up on our website. Here's my story.

I started work early this month as news director at Jewish Currents, where we're launching a news desk. Our third news desk newsletter went out today, and it's a great one. Sign up here so you don't miss the fourth. jewishcurrents.org/newsletter
