The Jewish Writing Project 
Hello,
I’d like to write an article with my Rosh Hodesh It’s a Girl Thing! group. (for more information you can check out http://www.roshhodesh.org), Rosh Hodesh It’s a Girl Thing! is a program of Moving Traditions.
I saw you have some great questions for teens and we have a group of 9 teenagers that I think could co-write a collective article together.
How do I do a search on your website for a sample of a teen submission? I’d like to present an example to the group before we write our own.
Thanks so much,
Tami (Philadelphia, PA)

Hello,
Re your 500 word limit for submissions, is that amount still in effect? I mean,
has that number not been increased? (I am thinking about submissions of short stories on Jewish subjects.)
Thank you,
David

The 500 word limit is a loose guide.
Send whatever you’d like us to consider (as part of a email rather than as an attachment), and we’ll take a look.
Please remember that we don’t publish fiction.
Do you publish poetry in Hebrew?
If not, can you recommend a publication that does?
Thank you,
Rabbi Polonsky,
I’m afraid we don’t publish Hebrew poetry.
Best of luck with your poems.
