The Big Picture is an essential exploration of Australia’s position in the world today.‘There has never been a more critical time for Australia to contemplate its place in the world. My intention is that Australian Foreign Affairs will serve as a forum for our most adventurous and deepest strategic thinkers to interrogate foreign policy’ —Morry Schwartz, Publisher, Australian Foreign Affairs‘Australia is increasingly affected by events beyond its borders, especially as global power and wealth shifts towards Asia. The challenges facing Australia and the region are varied and complex, but they are also fascinating.

What’s obsessing Jewish American writers today?

After the Golden Age examines the current generation of leading American Jewish writers as they grapple with questions about religion, Israel, politics and multiculturalism. In a ground-breaking essay, one of America's foremost literary critics, Adam Kirsch, shows how a new wave of writers, including Jonathan Safran Foer, Nicole Krauss and Joshua Cohen, is charting and creating a modern Jewish world that is different from that of Roth, Bellow and Malamud.
The issue also includes a report by Kaya Genç on paranoia and conspiracy theories in Erdoğan's Turkey, Jo Glanville on the vanishing Jews of Dublin and a colourful portrait from Patrick Mackie of Mozart's Jewish librettist.

Ukraine has been the site of some of the darkest moments in Jewish history, from brutal pogroms to Babi Yar, yet its Jews were central to the foundation of the Hasidic and Zionist movements and to the advancement of Hebrew and Yiddish literature, as well as to the evolution of modern-day Ukraine.In a fascinating essay, Vladislav Davidzon, who has been observing and writing about Ukrainian Jewish life for more than a decade, traces the turbulent history and uncertain future of this community as their country once again fights for its survival.The issue also includes an essay by David Herman reflecting on the first seventy years of The Jewish Quarterly, a feature by Tali Lavi on the Yiddish renaissance unfolding in Australia''s most cosmopolitan city, an account by Rabbi Harvey Belovski of a life-changing event that shaped the philosophy of Maimonides, and book reviews by Devorah Baum and Jakub Nowakowski.

The bombing of Argentina''s Jewish centre killed 85 people and devastated a community. Who did it? Who covered it up? Why?This issue of The Jewish Quarterly examines the unresolved questions and political intrigue surrounding the AMIA bombing – a terrorist attack that destroyed the Jewish community centre building in Buenos Aires in 1994, leaving eighty-five people dead and hundreds wounded. None of the culprits has ever been brought to justice. In this remarkable essay, the award-winning author and journalist Javier Sinay pieces together the devastating events that unfolded on 18 July 1994 and their shameful aftermath. Sinay investigates the attack, the failed inquiries, the alleged cover-ups and the mysterious death of Alberto Nisman, a prosecutor who died in 2015, hours before he was due to accuse the Argentinian president of a deal with Iran to obstruct inquiries into the bombing. The issue also includes Ian Black on the 1991 Madrid peace conference, Mark Glanville on the life and times of the writer Joseph Roth, and more.

The story of Hebrew -- its origins, revival and continuing evolution - is the story of a people.
"Our religion, our story, is, at its heart, a love of this language and a refusal to let it go."--Ben Judah
Ivrit explores the remarkable evolution and revival of Hebrew -- a language whose trajectory charts the recent history of the Jewish people. In a colourful, in-depth essay, award-winning writer Ben Judah explores the crucial role of modern Hebrew in defining and reshaping Israel and the Jewish people. He brings key figures to life, including his own ancestors, and contends that, while the dreams of Zionism are a mix of tragic successes and partial failures, the dream of the Hebraists is the one complete triumph.
The issue also includes a short story by Isaac Bashevis Singer translated into English for the first time, cultural criticism by Joanna Rakoff about literary accounts of female publishing assistants, an essay by Marta Figlerowicz about the Polish writer and artist Bruno Schulz, and a delicious celebration of Jewish-Italian food by Luisa Weiss.

What will America's next president mean for Australia and the world?
"Trump's return does not signal an American retreat from the world . . . Rather, it foreshadows a president even more determined to get his way on the world stage, and with fewer voices of caution and restraint around him." JAMES CURRAN

Featuring special contributions from our three most recent ambassadors to the United States,
