About Emily Tamkin
Welcome to ET Write Home!
Written by me, Emily Tamkin, a journalist based in Washington, DC.
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. New for 2026, those are ET Speak Home, in which a special featured guest will answer a few questions on a foreign language they’ve learned and what they have found challenging and rewarding about learning it, and ET Read Home, in which I write a little essay on a book announced at the beginning of the month that you’re encouraged to read and share thoughts on, too.
