I was pleased to give a talk to the grade 7 and 8 students at the Paul Penna Jewish Day School (Toronto) on May 15/25 about my collective biography, “She’s a Mensch!”. The kids were great–attentive, curious, and engaged. Thanks to TWUC for sponsoring this talk through the Ontario Writers in the Schools program!

YouTube video of interview: Jacob and the Mandolin Adventure
I’m pleased to share the YouTube interview that Ellin Bessner did with me and Dave Fleishman about Jacob and the Mandolin Adventure. It was a delight to discuss how I researched and wrote this historical novel as well as the “back story” about Morris Saxe. Here’s the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nqm8Dpz7q8E
I hope you’ll enjoy watching this video. Please tell friends and colleagues who might be interested.
