Speaking at the Z3 conference, Los Angeles, January 26, 2020

Thrilled to have kicked off January with two speaking engagements on subjects near and dear to my heart. (Why are things always near and dear? Because they rhyme they always have to go together?) At Limmud Seattle, I got my TVGoneJewy on, talking about Jewish representation on the big and small screen, and at the Z3 conference, I spoke on behalf of civility on social media, especially in Jewish conversations and surrounding issues relating to Israel.
