Shalom friends! Please enjoy this blog I wrote for the wonderful ‪@rebootjewish‬, a case study in adapting tales from a deeply patriarchal tradition, shaped over centuries by male storytellers who often couldn’t be bothered to give women names, into modern feminist Midrash…while STILL having each plot twist and character trait rooted in those same ancient texts!

Beth Israel Congregation in Jackson was set ablaze by an arsonist. Previously it had been burned by the KKK. This time, the fire destroyed the building and burned two precious Torah scrolls. Please join me in donating to this community so they can rebuild: checkout.square.site/merchant/P9THETP8R9573/checko…

Shalom, friends! Wow -Grateful to Rabbanit Leah Herzog for this analysis on what aspects of the #DafReactions methodology can be helpful when used by Jewish educators in other learning contexts, (and, of course, how to deploy them appropriately depending on audience, situation, and environment.)

Shalom friends!
Mazel tov to everyone who reached the 6 year mark of #DafYomi today! Here we are, learning #talmud about if you can bubble wrap a courtyard to protect it from ritual impurity, how mythic creatures fit on Noah’s Ark, and some anti-Babylonian snark from Rabbi Ami. What a journey to be on with all of you!

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 💔
