Zeek: A Jewish Journal of Thought and Culture has devoted a special print issue to the Russian Jewish Diaspora. The Spring '08 issue presents work engaged with identity, history, language and culture, and features contributors from around the world.
What Zeek hoped to put together--and what we believe we have achieved--is a journal of record on contemporary Russian Jewish artistic production.
If you plan to be in New York in the next few weeks be sure to drop by one of the events celebrating the Russian issue: March 23 at the Jewish Museum in NY, April 6 at the KGB Bar, April 11 in DUMBO.
