Hot take Daf Yomi reactions and more Jewish things, locally sourced from a Millennial brain! Writer, artist, nerd, makeup aficionado, & human symbiote to a small opinionated dog ✨ She/her ✨

We are very close to our goal - thanks to all of you and an inbound check donation, as of this post we are at $22,194!!!! I have such gratitude for this beautiful community. Thank you for being here.

Today is the 20th anniversary of my father’s death. Steve Anzovin of blessed memory. I was 20 at the time. This is the halfway mark, a day where the amount of time I lived with him is exactly equal to the amount of time I have lived without him. If you are having a hard time this holiday season, I see you and my heart goes out to you, because phew I am too 💔
During the Hanukkah attacks of 2019, I decided to rededicate myself to my Jewish identity. Through taking up Daf Yomi. Yes, as a 7.5 year "fuck you" to antisemites. But also as a way to rediscover joy in Judaism again. Out of this darkness, may we each find something important to hold on to. "May It Be a Light to You in Dark Places, When All Other Lights Go Out." A safe and light-filled Hannukah to all, and spite the despair in this world. 💗
Shalom, friends. Here I was. Excited to film a fun video for Hanukkah to share with you tonight. Then I saw the news of the slaughter of (as of now) 11 people at a Hanukkah holiday celebration in Sydney. May the memories of those murdered be a blessing forever. May those who planned and carried out this attack burn in gehennom for eternity. May the injured, including Ahmed al Ahmed, the hero who disarmed one of the gunman, have a full recovery. My heart is with the Jewish community of Australia, and with Am Yisrael wherever in the world they are right now. If these fucking monsters thought they could break us on Hanukkah, boy oh boy were they fucking wrong.
Last month, I got to speak to the marvelous Gila Fine, author of "The Madwoman in the Rabbi's Attic"! Here is the recording of that talk! (Recording released by special permission of Limmud New York.)
