Mom, author, teacher. #AmWriting a trilogy that retells the story of Exodus with the benefit of 21st century #archaeology. #JewSky #Treksky #GreenSky #BookSky
Pinned
My blog explores the ways biblical #archaeology has transformed our understanding of the stories so many of us now consider sacred. It's essential research for the #historicalfiction novel I #amwriting based on the Exodus. Here's the first post:

The interesting thing about these laws is that they mandate that "The" Ten Commandments be displayed in classrooms, but there are three versions in the Bible and none of them are the ones on these plaques.

Happy Passover! #jewsky
To all who celebrate Passover: Take a moment between the matzah and the maror to enjoy the unforgettable Robin Williams giving the fastest, funniest retelling of the Seder story you’ll ever hear.

2 minutes of pure joy.

Chag Pessach Sameach @Jewsky for all who celebrate! Since I've spent almost 15 years rewriting the Exodus as historical fiction, I thought a post about why I do this would be appropriate for the holiday. Here's the link to my FREE Medium post:

Why I Do This
Being Jewish is getting kind of sucky these days. So why am I giving years of my life to rewriting the story of Exodus for the secular-minded?

300. And we know about fewer than 100 so far.

The war on free speech escalates alongside the war on immigrants. They want to reduce the number of foreign students.

I often give MSM headline-writers/editors a hard time on framing of political news.

So now a note of compliment to hed-writers + photo and layout editors who put together today's WSJ print front page. (h/t @jorgeguajardo.bsky.social )

If Dickens or Dreiser were writing this, would seem overdone

Definitely recommend scrolling through #HandsOff for a pick me up. Proud of how Boston turned out. Grateful to everyone else who joined an action, especially those who showed an extra bit of bravery to gather in smaller crowds in redder places.

I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

NEW: Incredible scenes in Washington DC now.

Tens of thousands on the National Mall for the #HandsOff protest against Trump & Musk.

There must be over a million people protesting across every US state today.
