Jerusalem 1976

It's a cold cold day here in Iowa City, Iowa. Weather is all anyone wants to talk about. And with excellent reasons. The schools are closed across the state, extending winter break and thrilling students. Away from the constant chatter about fierceness of winter, I am warmed by knowing that my essay, Jerusalem 1976 has found a home at The Jewish Writing Project. 

For those of you unfamiliar with The Jewish Writing Project, I encourage you to visit and read the wonderful stories Bruce Black has curated into an online collection there.
