Franz Kafka’s Hebrew writings are now on view in New York City

JL;DR SUMMARY Franz Kafka's lesser-known Hebrew writings are featured in a new exhibit at the Morgan Library and Museum in New York City, highlighting the Jewish influences in his work.

But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
