My Writing

Much of my professional life has been concerned with the Jewish community in cities ranging from Madison, WI, to Winnipeg, from Minneapolis-St. Paul to the Los Angeles area, and now in Baltimore.

Among the newspapers I have edited is The Jewish Post, western Canada's largest English-language Jewish newspaper, which led some years later to appointment as Community Relations Director of the Winnipeg Jewish Community.

In both roles, as well as Executive Director of the (wait for it!) Jewish Community Relations Council/Anti-Defamation League of Minnesota and The Dakotas (JRC/ADL), I was deeply involved in numerous aspects of the Holocaust -- Holocaust education and remembrance, creation of a Holocaust memorial, reparations for survivors and much more.

Even today, as Executive Director of Beth Shir Sholom, a Reform congregation in Santa Monica, California, I frequently meet with survivors in the first, second, third and now even the fourth generation.

I have met with and listened to the stories of hundreds, perhaps thousands of Holocaust survivors and their children in the U.S., Canada, Israel and Europe. All of that experience is reflected in The Binding.
