2M ago34:32

34:32

Back in the 1900s, my dad would set up the dining room table "one night, once a year for David, the insurance guy." There were manila folders and legal pads, different pens- and one of the four-clicker-color-kinds. This insurance meeting was so serious that there were two different kinds of Stella D'oro treats and an Entenmann's coffee cake. We wer…

1:02:58

Following the events of October 7, 2023, I feared that all of the work I had done to become a cycle-breaker would become derailed.

5M ago41:00

41:00

Back in the 1900s, as a child of immigrants to the United States, I remember always having to learn it on my own. My parents weren't familiar with American cultural norms and my world was pretty narrow. If I wanted to understand how private school girls acted, I watched "The Facts of Life." When it was time for high school, thankfully, "Beverly Hil…

5M ago35:30

35:30

Back in the 1900s there was a period of time that you could not safely stroll the streets of Manhattan for fear. I’m not talking about the high profile cases that made the news.

For as far back as I can remember charity has been ingrained in me, like challah braided into my DNA.

43:47

Growing up in 1970s, New York City, I felt like I was always living under construction.

Some stayed open and some didn't make it, but for every business that …
