Winner gets a free Nextbook Press book appropriate to his or her comment (provided he or she emails me at [email protected] with his or her mailing address).

This week’s winner is “Judith,” who wrote, in response to Michelle Goldberg’s fascinating column on Israel’s unusually high rates of in-vitro fertilization and general pro-natalist policies and culture—and I quote—”EWWWWWWWW.”

“Judith” will receive a copy of Melvin Konner’s The Jewish Body, which teaches that there is nothing EWWWWWWWW about it.
