April 15, 2016 | Jeffrey Saks, Sidra DeKoven Ezrahi, Mishy Harman
About the author: Jeffrey Saks, the director of ATID and its WebYeshiva.org program, is the director of research at Jerusalem’s Agnon House and the series editor of the S.Y. Agnon Library at Toby Press.

While satire is not the usual mode employed by the Nobel Prize-winning Hebrew author, the stories in a newly translated collection, The Orange Peel and Other Satires, are a biting send-up of the egoism and pettiness of Jewish politics. Jeffrey Saks and Sidra DeKoven Ezrahi discuss the volume, with a reading by Mishy Harman. (Audio, one hour and twelve minutes.)
