A memoir can be in the form of a story, an essay, or a book. You don’t have to be famous for people to want to read your memoir. And you don’t have to write your memoir for general publication. • We’ll discuss the difference between a memoir and an autobiography. • We’ll brainstorm ideas to show that everyone, whatever their age, has a memoir. • We’ll learn how to decide what to include and what to leave out. • After the workshop, you’ll be able to start on your memoir right away. Ann Goldberg is a freelance writer and essay workshop leader and gets great pleasure helping others publish their essays and memoirs. She also gives a one-on-one e-mail course called “Writing Essays for Publication.” When she’s not writing, editing, or helping future writers, she enjoys drinking iced coffee and baking. Her memoir on her journey through cancer is due to be published in the coming year. You can find samples of her work and information about her course and editing packages at anngoldbergwriting.com. MIRIAM LIEBERMAN Writing: The Art of Living Life Passionately Together we’ll explore the creative process — sharing the inspiration, the creation, and ultimately — the joy! Bring a tambourine to our session if you have one! Miriam Liebermann, MSW, is the coauthor of Saying Goodbye, dealing with grief and bereavement, and the editor of two popular anthologies for women, The Best Is Yet to Be (Targum Press) and To Fill the Sky with Stars (Menucha Publishers).

    The Rebbetzin and the Thespian Rabbi Ariel Rackovsky Ekev 5776 Four Words. It Was Four Words That Made Steven Hill Famous, and F

    The Rebbetzin and The Thespian Rabbi Ariel Rackovsky Ekev 5776 Four words. It was four words that made Steven Hill famous, and four words that changed his life. Anyone who viewed the original series “Mission Impossible” remembers the tape played at the beginning of each episode, saying “Good Morning, Mr. Phelps” to the character played by Peter Graves. Originally, however, that recording said “Good Morning, Mr. Briggs,” to the character Dan Briggs, played by Steven Hill, who passed away this week at the age of 94. Hill was best known in Hollywood for the many roles he played in television and movies; in the Jewish world, he was known for being a baal teshuvah who embraced traditional Judaism at the height of his ​ ​ career. His return to Judaism came about because of another four words. In ​ 1961, he appeared in the play A Far Country, portraying Sigmund Freud. This experience had a profound effect on Hill's later life, because in one scene, a patient screams at Freud, "You are a Jew!" This happened every week, nine times a week, and it caused Hill to think about his life. "In the pause that followed I would think, 'What about this?' I slowly became aware that there was something more profound going on in the world than just plays and movies and TV shows. I was provoked to explore my religion." 1 He became a disciple of the previous Skverer Rebbe, Rav Yaakov Yosef Twersky, who encouraged him to continue acting, and while his observance led to an 11 year career hiatus, he returned to the screen for a number of successful roles, including that of Adam Schiff, the hardbitten and pragmatic DA on Law and Order.

    The East Side Torah Center 317 Henry Street NYC 10002 212-473-1000 Learning Torah Has Never Been Easier!

    Featuring thousands of interesting tapes, CDs, and videos by the most dynamic speakers in America and Israel today… Our main library is located at: The East Side Torah Center 317 Henry Street NYC 10002 212-473-1000 Learning Torah Has Never Been Easier! Dear Friend, Every morning and evening we recite in the Shema , "And you shall speak them while you sit in your house, while you go on the way..." This of course refers to the mitzvah of learning Torah. Each weekday we hop in our cars, ride the bus or subway, or walk to and from work. We go shopping, do laundry, or bake a cake. Why not make better or additional use of that time? Why not hear some of the best Maggidei Shiur lecture on Loshon Hara, Emunah, or the Parsha of the week? Not only will you gain chizuk and get the mitzvah of Limud HaTorah, but those hours of drudgery will go by a lot faster. As most of you know, the Lower East Side has an extensive, free Torah Tape Library. We have tapes for men, women, and children from all backgrounds and all ages, on various topics including Halacha, Yom Tov, Hashkafa, Tanach, Chinuch, Marriage, and more, by popular Jewish speakers like Rabbi Yissochor Frand, Rabbi Avigdor Miller, Rabbi Paysach Krohn, Rebbetzin Faige Twerski, Rabbi Yitzchok Kirzner... The list goes on and on! The latest index contains many exciting updates. We have recently expanded to include CDs— among them the entire Mishnah elucidated by Rabbi Nosson Scherman, and a complete collection of Daf Yomi shiurim—and video cassettes from the likes of Rabbi Amnon Yitzchak.
