If anything I say offends you, please don’t fucking tweet it because it’s going to really stress me out.

Farewell from JewishBoston.com's Managing Editor →

Writing a farewell post for a website you’ve managed is a little bit like writing your own obituary.

Might you be my successor?

I’m a staunch schmaltz advocate. Every time I render a skin-on chicken breast or thigh, I save the fat and make it into ice cubes. Well, fat cubes, technically. Seriously—just pour it from the pan into a bowl and allow it to cool off. Then spoon it into a clean ice cube tray and stick it in the freezer. You now have ready-to-use schmaltz cubes whenever you need them. Just one disclaimer: Make sure to communicate with your housemates if you plan to make schmaltz cubes. Otherwise, you may have to deal with a cranky roommate who has mistakenly dropped a frozen cube of chicken fat into her glass of water or white wine. (Read more)

I have a really great butch-femme romantic sex comedy that I’ve been writing. It’s just a question of timing—is the world ready for it? It’s kind of in the Woody Allen, Judd Apatow mode. Because, you know, butches, right? Butches face a lot of the same challenges that Jewish guys face.

Filmmaker Kimberly Peirce, neatly summarizing my social circles, in an interview by Diane Anderson-Minshall for The Advocate.

I wanted it to be a book where the parents being gay is not “the problem.” I know it’s hard for a lot of people in a lot of places, but that really hasn’t been my experience or my family’s experience, and it hasn’t been the case for a lot of my friends, too. Our kids have regular kid problems.

I couldn’t be more proud to be part of Keshet as we announce the publication of the world’s first English-language Jewish children’s book with LGBT characters, THE PURIM SUPERHERO. Order one for everyone you know, just in time for Purim! Thanks to Kar-Ben Publishing for being a partner in this endeavor.

If you missed it last night (as I did), here’s the Great Performances special Broadway Musicals: A Jewish Legacy.

(It trips me out a bit that the thumbnail for the video is the same shot of Sondheim I use for the FYSS business cards and theme.)
