Why subscribe?

A free subscription to ET Write Home gets you a weekly newsletter with news, views, and some stuff on Jews. That is to say that each week in your inbox, you get a roundup of my own recently published writing and reporting as well as other news articles that I think readers might find interesting; an opinion-based essay; and also a collection of recommended articles that, taken together, showcase some of what’s happening in the wide world of Jewishness, all chosen for you by me, author of Bad Jews.

A paid subscription gets you that and two other issues a month. One is ET Ask Home, which takes “inspiration” from Vanity Fair’s Proust Questionnaire. The idea is that the 12 questions, written by me, are the same every month, but the characters answering them will vary wildly. And the other is ET Leave Home. Every month, I publish list of recommendations for different cities around the country and the world. This is new for 2025. Also new for 2025, paid subscribers get the ad-free version of the Political Cycle, the podcast I co-host on politics and elections in India, the United Kingdom, the United States, and around the world.

Paid subscribers can also comment. Talk is cheap, but not free.

Every new edition of ET Write Home goes directly to your inbox.
