New Shavuos/Shavuot Story – FREE Download – The Humble Princess Ruth

I’ve been fiddling around for years with the idea of a “princess story” around the story of Megillas Rus. I actually wrote one and made it available here about six years ago, but I wasn’t happy with it.

This version, The Humble Princess Ruth, is a little closer to what I want to tell. It’s shorter and I think a little more interesting. It’s a tough story to retell. I’ve taken some authorial license here: added some details, left out some others.

And I still don’t love the title! If you have a better one, LET me know!!! Why, oh, why, am I so bad at titles???

Download the story here: LINK DELETED – SORRY, PLEASE FIND THE STORY, REVISED AND IMPROVED, OVER HERE ON AMAZON INSTEAD!

Humble Princess: A story of Ruth – now available in print and Kindle!

The 4shared site is a little spammy – don’t click on the BIG word “download,” but rather, on the small download button:

I’d love your feedback on this story, either in the comments or directly to me at Tzivia@tzivia.com.

And don’t forget – I have a ton of other great Shavuos resources here at this site: click here to find them.

Chag sameach!!!

Are Jews an "underrepresented community" in children’s publishing?

I applied for a writing award yesterday. I'm not going to get it, but that's not what I wanted to share with you. Here's what I wanted to share. This box: I stared at this box for a long, long time. And then I decided not to check it. Even though I believe people like me truly are underrepresented, we probably wouldn’t fit the definition in other people's minds. Why? Well, because we're European. Because we are white. Because as everybody knows, Jews control the media. (do we???) If anything, some people say, Jews are over -represented in publishing. And yet. Some definitions are careful not to include people like me. Like this random definition from the State of California which defines underrepresented for some very specific business purposes as: "an individual who self-identifies as Black, African American, Hispanic, Latino, Asian, Pacific Islander, Native American, Native Hawaiian, or Alaska Native, or who self-identi
