Join Us at Our 2026 Jewish Writers Mifgash

We are thrilled to announce our second annual Writers Mifgash (Hebrew for “Gathering”), a day focused on community, craft, and network-building for Jewish Writers—and, new for this year, Jewish Illustrators—in New York City.

The Mifgash, made possible thanks to generous financial assistance from UJA-New York, will feature writers, editors, agents, illustrators, and other industry professionals coming together for meaningful conversations, creative connection, and powerful programming. We look forward to welcoming you to a joyful day in celebration of Jewish creatives and creativity. Revisit the 2025 Mifgash here.

Location: Manhattan (exact location to be shared with attendees)
