Ok I know I am a year behind but I finally started watching Nobody Wants This and a)Adam Brody is completely believable Rabbi; b) I would totally watch a documentary about the history of documentaries; and c) @shaynasheinfeld.bsky.social was right about the way Jewish women are portrayed in it

I still have the hastily scribbled, vague recipe. I made it for our seders this year. Absolutely a smashing success! Can't believe I waited so long to make it. Thank you!

So excited for this important volume & proud to have 2 contributions in it. This work is so important and necessary.

Both have been ordered from the library now. Thank you

Rereading 1984. Maybe I'll get some ideas?!
