Shalom friends,
I will be on a break from filming (but not on working on things behind the scenes, because lol I never do that) until the end of August. I look forward to returning with new Daf and High Holiday videos for you, plus a few other things I’m cooking up 😉
Have a lovely two weeks, everyone, and KEEP LEARNING!
Shabbat Shalom,
-Miriam

Shalom, friends! Please join me and Kavod v'Nichum for "Let’s Meet (the Angel of) Death: Talmudic Tales for Elul"
Elul invites us to reflect on mortality and prepare for the High Holy Days. So I'll be taking you on an exploration of Talmudic stories in which Death appears, not simply as an idea, but as a vivid and surprisingly relatable character. Through Jewish text, thoughtful discussion, sharp humor, and joyful irreverence, we’ll consider what these ancient narratives reveal about death, our own lives, and the choices we make while we can. Designed for those involved in Chevra Kadisha, end-of-life work, and sacred care—as well as anyone curious about these timeless questions—this interactive workshop welcomes participants of all backgrounds, with no prior Talmud study required.
Date & Time: Monday, August 17th, 2026
7:00 p.m. – 8:15 p.m. Eastern / 4:00 p.m. – 5:15 p.m. Pacific

Shalom friends!
I used to watch the Marx Brothers with my father of blessed memory. And now I discover that in an upcoming course at Brandeis, "America and Its Jews at 250," one of the sessions is called "Jews in American Popular Culture: Marx Brothers to Miriam Anzovin." I am very emotional 😭

Shalom, friends. Tonight begins #TishaBav, the day of utmost soul-deep agony and grief in the Jewish calendar. We read Eicha, called “the Book of Lamentations,” (or “How?”) a poetic Megillah of profound beauty and horror, that speaks to both the collective nightmare and despair of the destructions of Jerusalem and brutality of exile in the 6th century BCE, and yet also whispers to our hearts about our own individual lived traumas, and the misery forced upon so many people in the world today, in our modern world. It is a Megillah that should be experienced in full, which is why I will never adapt it. I encourage you to read it, or hear it in community. If you are observing Tisha B’Av, I wish you a meaningful fast, and a transformative day of contemplation and reflection. 🖤

Ah, that unique experience of being unable to come down to the door and sign for a package because you are in full angel of death makeup/attire and it’s too early to pretend this is a Halloween thing, but it’s also nearly impossible to explain your job 😩😂💀 #JewishLoreReactions

Shalom, friends!
Plot twist! We have ANOTHER matching opportunity!
First, an incredible Jewish organization agreed to match your donations dollar for dollar. Then Rabbi Art Gould generously stepped up to personally match donations as well.
And now another amazing supporter has pledged an additional $5,000 in matching funds!!!

That means, through Monday, July 7, your gift will have 4X the impact. Every dollar you give becomes $4 to help sustain and grow the Daf Reactions Project.

If you've already donated, thank you SO profoundly much. Your generosity helped create this incredible momentum, and I couldn't be more grateful.

If you've been waiting for the right moment to contribute, or hoping your gift could go even further, it’s your time!!

Every donation helps ensure we can finish this seven-and-a-half-year journey through the Talmud together, create new videos and learning resources along the way, and that we are ready to leap into the next Daf Yomi cycle together.

Thank you for believing in this work and for being part of this wonderful community.

Shabbat Shalom, and wishing you a safe and happy holiday weekend!
With gratitude so eternal it’s like Elijah the Prophet and Serach Bat Asher,
-Miriam

P.S. Everyone who donates from now until the end of the campaign will be entered into a signed merch raffle! 😊

P.P.S: Here I am writing all your names into my backdrop. I just have to write them all backwards, as my videos are mirrored lol!

Shalom friends! This week’s parsha is Pinchas, starring proto-feminist NAMED heroines of the Torah, Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah who filed a Title IX complaint with Moses about misogynistic inheritance laws! Please enjoy my illustration of them ☺️
