16/ FRIENDS IN THE ARTS: 1a. @emilyboco is a talented artist/animator and friend of mine, who has written a wonderful, personal comic book. She is at the intersectional path, as both a member of the Muscogee Nation, and the Jewish tribe. Having lost her father at the far-too-young age of 9, and going from Native American surroundings in Oklahoma, to the Jewish area of New Jersey, Emily writes about what she wishes she had the opportunity to do as a child – go back on a journey of self-discovery, before she was an adult. @esensten interviews her, and I love that she has people reaching out to her as a result of the wonderful read. “Besides my sisters, there’s not a Native American Jewish community right at my fingertips. I’m part of a Facebook group with about 30 members all over the country. I’ve been shocked since “Two Tribes” came out, Jewish Native Americans have been reaching out to me, like, “Hey, I’m out here.” Lots of them are in Oklahoma.” Maybe, just maybe this helps Emily’s intersectional identity feel less alone: jweekly.com/2024/01/03/qa-… 1b. I bought my copy, you can too! a.co/d/0JJc3A5 2. @BrianFishbach writes about an amazing woman, who my family is fortunate to call a friend. @sunnywebsurfer Sonia Levitin, like my father, got the hell out of Germany in 1938. Whereas my father’s family emigrated to England, hers brought her to America. She became a successful novelist and playwright, and has just released her third play! A reading was recently performed at the Museum of Tolerance. “She may be best known for her 1970 novel “Journey to America,” part of a trilogy of books based on her family’s escape from Nazi Germany in the late 1930s, and their early years in America. It is one of the most prominent young adult novels about the Holocaust from a youth’s perspective. The series led to speaking engagements worldwide, covering topics like slavery, genocide, the Holocaust, and promoting creativity and literature. “Chained,” her third play, returns to Levitin’s familiar themes.” jewishjournal.com/culture/arts/t… 3a. Nepotism? What’s that?! My mother Linda Hepner writes a damn great children’s book, called “The Adventures of Goldilocks and Baby Bear: What Happened Next?” @RicBratton interviews her on “This Week in America”, and gives her such a wonderful compliment, that she has a knack of writing from the point of view of a child. And she knocks it out of the park throughout the interview. The illustrations are by renowned artist @ArtByMendes. I’m so proud of this whole endeavor: youtube.com/watch?v=m00h6O… 3b. She’s interviewed at a book fair, with her grandson (my nephew Amitai) as the one who inspired the stories. Shorter but honestly not nearly as good of an interview: youtube.com/watch?v=xUp_0d… 3b. It’s a terrible plug if you don’t have the link for purchase: a.co/d/0hGU5Q0 4a. @ari_frenkel and @amydepaola have teamed up to create an extremely unusual and creative romantic comedy, that takes place in the world of a man grieving for his father. Yes, you read that correctly. “Noah struggles with his identity, both professionally and spiritually. He turns to his Rabbi, a stoic man who wants to help his new secular pupil reconnect with his Judaism while respecting the boundaries Noah seems to blur. The Rabbi tells Noah that it takes a year to properly grieve a loss and that in the interim, Noah can say the Kaddish prayer to help his father's soul get to the Garden of Eden. This will also coincide with a planned burial in his father's home country of Israel at the year's end.” And yes, it’s a rom-com. Ari Frenkel is highly talented, and you can read more about his Jewish project here. Donations to help this come to fruition are tax-deductible: stowestorylabs.org/fiscal-agency-… 4b. If you missed it, here’s Ari’s recent funny, topical short, “The Jews!” youtu.be/xZ6nBgAXMAk

13/ FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION: 1a. If you’re in NY, go see this exhibit for the rest of the month! “Now the Nova founders and Feingold…are bringing this large-scale remembrance installation to NYC. Together, they have created a sacred space echoing the weight of the victims’ and survivors’ memories, surrounded by remains salvaged from the festival grounds—scorched cars, bullet-riddled bathroom stalls, and personal belongings all left behind. Visitors will be invited to join a plea for the safe return of the 134 hostages who are still held in captivity by Hamas terrorists. Nova survivors of the brutal attack will be attending, to bear as witnesses to the tragedy they experienced that day.” Just checked, and you can pay as little as 1 dollar to go to this installation, which should be required for all students to visit: nova0629exhibition.com 1b. @scooterbraun stepped up as an American partner, and hyped it up last month. “People need to understand it could have been any of us, at any festival. Music must remain a safe place.” instagram.com/p/C5BhUq5LoxW/ 1c. @DoreeLewak reports on this new exhibit about the massacre at Nova. ““The Nova Music Festival Exhibition: October 7th 06:29am – The Moment Music Stood Still,” kicks off a month-long run Sunday at an event space at 35 Wall St., with an installation that pays painstaking tribute to the 370 attendees killed by Hamas.“ It doesn’t just show the aftermath, it also was designed to show and feel the happy before the attack. “Exhibit creator, director and writer Reut Feingold said she wanted to give people the experience of the festival before Hamas invaded.” nypost.com/2024/04/20/us-…
