About Mahberet
Established in the 1990s, Mahberet is a literary magazine that publishes the work of students, faculty, and alumni of Brown University and the Rhode Island School of Design. We welcome submissions from writers and artists of all faiths and backgrounds.
We seek to promote the ideals fundamental to Jewish culture: the sharing of ideas, the raising of questions, and the telling of stories.
