Hi everyone!

Hope your Pesach preparations are going well. We’re, B”H, spending Pesach in Eretz Yisrael this year, and we’re very grateful to be here. If any of my readers are also in E”Y for Pesach and would like to meet up, please email me.

Meanwhile, my article about being Jewish in South Korea is in this week’s Tachlis Magazine, on page 66. Hope you enjoy it.

Have a wonderful Shabbos!

Hope everyone’s Pesach preparations are going well. I had two articles in Jewish Home last week — sorry, I didn’t get a chance to post before Shabbos. MENTAL HEALTH REFERRALS FOR THE JEWISH COMMUNITY: RELIEF RESOURCES COME TO LOS ANGELES and, sadly, a tribute to Adam Krief, a”h.

Heads up — look out for my story, Growing with Barley, in the Hamodia Pesach story supplement.

In honor of the month of Adar and upcoming Purim, my article, Persian Jews in Los Angeles: Carrying on the Tradition, is on page 48 of Tachlis Magazine, issue # 72. Enjoy!

My story, Royal Reward, will be in Hamodia’s Inyan Magazine this week, IY”H. It’s historical fiction about the translation of the Torah into Greek, and is set in Alexandria, Egypt in the times of Ptolemy II. Hope you enjoy it!

Would you like to read an excerpt from my Chanuka novel, Swords and Scrolls? Tachlis Magazine published an excerpt and a Q&A with the author (that’s me :)) in this week’s issue.

Enjoy, and share with friends and family! Happy Chanuka!
