• Like many of you, I’ve been watching the war in the Middle East with all its horrific violence. I’ve been active and outspoken about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, but I don’t take this as a simple issue. Some doofus scrawled “Free Palestine” with a marker on the front of the synagogue I go to, and white supremacists are using the issue to peddle antisemitic stereotypes. I’ve tried processing this by recording and listening to music, and I’ve recorded two more Jewish songs to add to my Jewish songs from my upbringing. Hope you enjoy it!

• On a lighter note, I’m part of a play-reading group looking for actors and artists in NYC! We read a play every week, connecting and sharing projects with each other. If you’re a theatre artist looking for inspiration to create, this is for you!

• A woman I know named Dorothy Bukantz is looking for people to read her poems. I will be reading some myself. Reach out to me if you or someone you know can do it!
