I sat next to Quincy Jones once at something I had to perform at and at some point he said "Are you Jewish?" and when I told him I was he said "I produced a couple of Jews" and I said "musicians?" and he said "children.".

I don’t know why we’re not always talking about this. Brittney Griner should be our biggest sports story. It’s *SURREAL* that one of our country’s most dominant athletes is being arbitrarily imprisoned by a hostile state.

If you’re Jewish and not with your family or congregation today, remember that you are part of a community that is not bound to a physical location. An eternally unified people, impossible to divide, committed to a set of undying principles. Shana Tova.

I am - once again - begging you with everything in me not to be on your phones during theater or comedy shows. I actually went into the audience tonight. I have noticed such bad phone behavior since the pandemic, it’s unreal.
so the show I just went to was in a small intimate venue & they said once the show starts no one else can enter . it was a one man show & @alexedelman opened by STRONGLY cautioning ppl to put phones away, they light up your face, he can see them, they’re the worst.
