On the blog we're spotlighting Daniel Amir's JQR 114.3 article "Reading Bialik in Tehran"!

Amir studies Persian translations of Bialik to show how the poet could be made to speak for and to the Iranian Jewish community in the vibrant years before 1948.

Israeli public broadcasting's new Persian programming opens with the perfect stumble:

امروز پن��شنبه ۲۲ شهریور ۱۴۰۳... برابر با ... תשע... תשיעי ... نهم ماه الول سال ۵۷۸۴ عبریست.

Bodes well. Always been too many calendars and languages to juggle.
