Shalom, friends,
I’ll be taking a little time away from filming (but never away from learning the daf!!) to work on some grant applications, research the next cycle of Jewish Lore Reactions stories, and writing.
ICYMI, the Daf Reactions Giving Campaign is still open until 12/31! Donations are tax-deductible. 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. I can’t wait to create more Jewish things for you in 2026.
-Miriam

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!

Shalom, friends!
I’m delighted to partner with @rebootjewish to write some new entries for their incredible glossary page. (Seriously - if you need Jewish terms defined, check it out.) Reboot is an arts and culture non-profit that reimagines and reinforces Jewish thought and traditions, offering an inviting mix of discovery, experience, and reflection. For my first glossary entry: You know him from #JewishLoreReactions as the most overworked angel in the game. Click to read about The Angel of Death! rebooting.com/glossary/angel-of-death/
Follow Reboot, and stay tuned next week for my next entry!
