Excited to share that I have accepted a position at @jwaonline in Boston as the Manager of the Rising Voices Fellowship, a ten-month program for Jewish teens in 10th-12th grades with a passion for writing and an interest in Judaism, feminism, and social justice.
Enjoyed a fabulous concert from Jewish musicians Yoni Avi Battat and Zach Mayer aka Figment in celebration of their new album

If you only have the bones of a Yiddish play, how can you resurrect it? Enter @DybbukProject which is recovering & restoring Joseph Lateiner's Dybbuks--the Yiddish script, the music, and everything in between. It was fascinating to attend their conference this week @TelAvivUni
This morning I interviewed 97-year-old Auschwitz survivor Moshe Barth for @YiddishStories He talked to us about his life and sang several songs including the entire first number of Fiddler on the Roof. When I thanked him for sharing his story, he told me, “It’s my duty!”
Today was the last day of @pardesinstitute Yiddish Club! My aim was to introduce the future Jewish leaders and educators to some important free online Yiddish resources and empower them to use these resources to incorporate Yiddish culture into their future Jewish programming
I suggested Lomir Zingen a Yidish Lid by Cindy Paley and Ann Brown and Shabes Shabes by Theodore Bikel
