Literary Jews Strike D.C.
If you happen to be in or around D.C. through the 16th, check out The Hyman S. and Freda Bernstein Jewish Literary Festival at the DC JCC. Some highlights:
~ Collaborative Poetry Workshop–11/9
~ Passions of the Matriarchs: Reading the Lives
of the Women of Genesis–11/14
~ SLAM! Spoken Words From the Fringe. Homeboy Matthue Roth and opener Ruby K treat us to their uniquely Jewish slam poetry, 11/12 at Teaism. This one is highly recommended. And if I see you there, I’ll buy you a drink.
I’ll be there on Saturday night! See you there. And you can link to Ruby K here and here.
Figures- when DC gets a big Jewish cultural event I’m in NY. (So what’s on in NY this weekend?)
And who are these other DC folks on here?
sorry, I’m from Baltimore. it’s like DC, only completely different.
I’m a NY folk, but I’ll be in DC this weekend for probably the same reason you’ll be in NY (three-day weekend!!! Happy Armistice Day).
As for the NY independent minyan scene, this weekend includes Park Slope Minyan on Friday night and a bonus Hadar on Saturday morning with hosted lunches.
I’d like to go to the slam poetry thing but I’m going away for the veteran’s day holiday.
