The Forward 50

I'm in the Forward 50, the paper's list of people who, this year, are "doing and saying things that are making a difference in the way American Jews, for better or worse, view the world and themselves."

Wow!

I'm on a list with Chancellor Eisen, Ruth Messinger, and Mayor Bloomberg. My goodness. Two other interesting points: I'm joint youngest - there are two other 27-year-olds on the list. And the gender breakdown is 17 women and 33 men.

Sad news

Judy Tenzer passed away last night. Anyone who was ever at Drisha will remember Judy, who kept the place running and went above and beyond, in all imaginable ways, to take care of everyone. Her death is untimely and unexpected; this morning Drisha is shocked and sober, and very sad. She was an anchor for so many of us. Now we drift together.
