Goldblog moving to the Tablet

The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg is moving his blog to the Tablet next month.

I don't make this move lightly (and it's not happening quite yet -- I'll be blogging there next month), but I think we're entering a period of huge disruption in the relationship between America and Israel, and between American Jews and Israelis, and I want to be able to focus on these conflicts in an intensely granular way, inside the Jewish community. Tablet is the most exciting Jewish publication I've seen since I worked, in the previous century, at the Seth Lipsky-led Forward, and it is becoming the hub of the worldwide Jewish conversation.

I'm still staying here at The Atlantic, of course, to write the long-form magazine pieces (plus my perishable advice column) that you've come to love, or hate, depending on who you are. More information to come.

I can't wait to see Goldberg go up against the likes of Lee Smith at Tablet. Should be even more entertaining than Goldberg's spats with Andrew Sullivan.

But will Goldberg allow comments?
