Shavua Tov and Happy Sukkot! As you cluster together this next week in the little huts in your backyards, porches, or apartment balconies to celebrate this holiday of harvest, family, food and history, we hope you’ll bring your laptop with you, or at least print out these Jewish news stories. Here’s a look back and what happened this past week in the Jewish world – Gilad Shalit spoke, the Coen Brothers movie opened, and Haifa scientists made a revolutionary breakthrough (again!). Check it out.

Ruth F. Brin was a literary pioneer famous for her authentic Jewish poetry, prayer services, scholarly articles, children’s books, librettos, a memoir, and most recently, at the age of 86, her first novel. She was born in Saint Paul, Minnesota, and lived in Minneapolis until her death, at the age of 88, on Wednesday, September 30th. However, her poetry and teachings have moved beyond the Twin Cities, filling the pages of Reconstructionist, Reform and Conservative prayer books used in synagogues around the country.
The long-awaited Coen Brothers movie “A Serious Man” comes out in theaters exclusively in Minneapolis, Los Angeles and New York tomorrow, Friday October 2nd. Don’t miss it. It’s Jewish.
