| Friends, I send blessings to you, in all corners of the world! It’s been more than two years since the allegations against my father resurfaced and the #MeToo era began. I have had the opportunity to share publicly on these issues in the Times of Israel which published my first reflection as well as my most recent piece. I have been so grateful for the support I have received from so many of you. Thank you for listening and for processing with me. Also, I have also been honored and humbled to facilitate many conversations on these issues in communities around the United States. These events have been powerful and healing and are now an important part of my work. Today, I want to acknowledge my close friend Elie Hirschfeld who has officially become a sponsor of my work. The Elie Hirschfeld Foundation sponsored our appearance at the #URJBiennial in Chicago this past December (click HERE to see the introduction to my event by URJ President, Rabbi Rick Jacobs.) It was a true privilege to present a musical conversation about #MeToo with my beloved friends, respected leaders Rabbi Ken Chasen, Rabbi Sydney Mintz, Cantor Marsha Attie, Rabbi Rachel Timoner and Cantor Josh Breitzer. Elie’s next event sponsorship will be in NYC at one of the most important LGBTQ Synagogues in the country, CBST! On March 13, 2020, I will be participating in Kabbalat Shabbat and engaging in an evening of music and conversation with Rabbi Sharon Kleinbaum! The event will be livestreamed if you cannot be there! Please continue to check the CBST website for details. Elie has supported and encouraged me for many years. His gifts have truly enabled me to share the work of my soul. Thank you, Elie, from the bottom of my heart! And our #Believe Tour continues! Looking forward to continuing to share our new music and spread the joy in NY, MD, MN, Vegas and Chicago in the coming weeks. To see our new song “Shine” performed live with our band and Gospel Choir for MLK day last month, please click here! Thank you for your love, we hope to sing with you soon!
