It’s been a while since I’ve posted over here, but that’s because I’ve been busy writing up a storm in various places…the best way to catch my writing is usually at GrokNation.com or JewishJournal.com, so here are some handy author links to save you a Google. 🙂
Looking for my TV, film and other pop culture pieces; social media commentary; or various news-related stories? GrokNation.com can help you with that. 🙂 Here are some recent Grok pieces I’m particularly proud of:
- Hollywood’s Scum & Villainy Cantina: where all fandoms are welcome
- The movie ‘Grease’ turns 40, and we’re conflicted
- Sarai Walker, author of ‘Dietland,’ on her book and the new AMC series
- May the faith be with you: Star Wars and religion
- In ‘I Feel Pretty,’ Amy Schumer’s traumatic brain injury leads to transformation
If it’s Jewish community stories or Jewish-thought-related articles that you fancy, the JewishJournal.com site is the one for you! Here are some of my newest pieces from the good ol’ JJ:
- Modern Jewish Matchmakers Urge Singles to Keep Their Hearts and Minds Open to Love
- The Jewish Geography of — and in — Auschwitz
- For Jewish Scholars Analyzing TV’s ‘Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,’ the Rest Is Commentary
- Twitter and the Responsibility of More
- MADE IN ISRAEL: How Israeli Shows Are Transforming Television
Thanks for stopping by – hoping to have a site revamp and/or more content here soon!!
My Jewish Journal Life…
07 years ago
Since February 2015, in addition to my various other consulting work, I’ve been a contributing writer at the Jewish Journal here in Los Angeles, and have had the opportunity to tell some amazing stories – some about myself, and some about other people.
You can read all of my past stories – including a few “classics” from years before I even moved to Los Angeles! – at my author page on the Jewish Journal website. And here is a curated list of some of my 2016 favorites so far.
Jew-by-choice Mandie Davis also chooses homeless children: Southern Baptist-raised, and now Jewish, Mandie found love on Skid Row, and co-founded an amazing organization with her husband that brings joy to homeless children for their birthdays. (June 2016)
Today’s Jewish TV characters come into their own:Â An exploration of how Jewish identity is totally a thing on television these days, as characters own their cultural identity, traditions and even Hebrew in an unprecedented manner. (April 2016)
Finding meaning in Passover prep pain: A personal piece recalling how much pain my late mother endured in creating Passover in our home, and how I created Passover in my home this year. (April 2016)
Reconsidering Kaddish: Profiling four new approaches to the mourner’s prayer, which expand access to Kaddish as a ritual and imbue it with new meaning. (February 2016)
More available at my author page, and in the future, as I cover additional topics…
