    Luka,

    I apologize for not being in class, but here are my comments, questions and concerns about your website.

    I applaud the extensive research you made to present these writers and their contributions to various elements of Eastern European Jewish Literature. I do, however, find the overall thematic overlays to be troubling. What did each grouping of writers contribute to the overall evolution of literature? And how much of an impact did this have in culture.

    I enjoyed clicking around to see the various groupings of writers, and I hope the format stays for your final presentation.

    Great Website so far,
    -Kwame
