How Hot Will it be on Yom Kippur (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I surprised myself this year. Maybe with the hostages home - those alive, those buried - and maybe at a moment where war feels quieter, at least here in Jerusalem, readying ourselves for Rosh Hashanah felt…doable. Even enjoyable.Conversations about Inclusion is a reader-supported publication. To support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.<
Heading North (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sitting on Betzet Beach, minutes from Kibbutz Rosh Hanikra, and down the road from the famed grottos, we relished the ability to just be there, even as Ira suspected he heard occasional artillery booms in the distance. Lebanon is of course, meters away from the kibbutz and the grottos, and while there is a border crossing, it is for official use only. The water was fabulous, with lots of waves, and we loved having the beach almost to ourselves on these final days of summer vacation. By September
Why Can't It Be Better? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I was looking up stats about PwD (people with disabilities the other day), and was sort of stunned to see that the numbers have gone up, from 15% of the world’s population, approximately 1 billion people, to 16%, or 1.3 billion people (that’s a 30% increase in the number of PwD against a 22% increase in the world’s population!!!).

A Tempest in Jerusalem (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Tempest. That’s this year’s play for Theater in the Rough’s 15th summer season. It wasn’t my first choice, and yet, I’m so happy it’s what we’re doing, even though it’s a comedy. What’s wrong with a comedy you might ask, let alone The Tempest? Aren’t comedies funny, and filled with favorite audience moments, slapstick silliness, mistaken identities, storyline mayhem and of course, young love. Shakespeare rarely gives us any other kind of couple-hood, other than the falling-instantly-in-l
