• Liberal Jewish magazine Tikkun, edited by Rabbi Michael Lerner, is giving its 25th annual ethics award to Richard Goldstone—he of the infamous Report. [JTA]

• Vox Tablet subject Mark Oppenheimer profiles the Jewish Review of Books. He also name-checks Tablet Magazine. Logrolling in our time! [NYT]

• President Shimon Peres hosted a delegation from J Street even as the Foreign Ministry called the U.S. “pro-Israel, pro-peace” outfit “problematic.” [Arutz Sheva]

• The New York Times reviews James Sturm’s graphic novel Market Day, which was recently featured on Vox Tablet. [NYT]

• There’s controversy about it, but I hadn’t even heard the news: Professional wrestler (and animal welfare activist) Bill Goldberg is set to be inducted into the National Jewish Sports Hall of Fame. [Kaplan’s Korner]

• An alternate Jewish joke for Gen. James Jones. [Jeffrey Goldberg]
