An announcement during National Poetry Month: With much gratitude to organizer 
Relly Coleman.  
Yael Stolarsky, Shlicha, and I have been invited to inaugurate the 
First Connecticut Hebrew Book celebration on Sunday, June 10th, 1-6 PM  as part of the 
second annual  Israeli Food Festival to be held at 
Temple Israel in Westport. Besides vendor and demonstrations, there will be 2-3 breakout sessions: one about
 Hebrew short stories with Susan Boyar, a professional book discussion leader and another about 
Modern Hebrew poetry and music  that Yael and I will lead.
      In prior years, I have led  three  Modern Israeli Poetry and music discussions at the Stamford JCC with 
Or Berger, Shaliach, and 
Yael. sponsored by the 
Jewish Historical Society of Fairfield County.
