Today in Tablet Magazine, Shalom Auslander explains death to his five-year-old son against the backdrop of the Holocaust. Norman Samuels gives a primer on how internal changes in Turkey have affected (and worsened) its relations with Israel. Reporting from the Herzliya Conference’s final day, Judith Miller notes the tepid reaction to Prime Minister Netanyahu’s speech. Joshua Cohen introduces us to Heimrad Bäcker’s avant-garde “documentary poems.” The Scroll is not nearly that fancy.
