Sokatch at Tehiyah Event

I was at an intimate dinner Sunday night to benefit Tehiyah Day School. I'm on the Board this year.

SF Jewish Federation CEO Daniel Sokatch spoke at the home of Andrew Greenberg of Greenberg Qualitative.

Sokatch's great. Wrote about him as new, young leader earlier.

He talked about new Jewish engagement and philanthropy as based on Four Pillars - Change, Torah, Service..and? I dunno. olomot, maybe? As in "worlds," or multiple layers of identity? He was so eloquent and fast and right now it's early on a Monday, the first Monday off of Daylight Savings...I'm gonna see if I can source his talk from either him or somewhere he's posted it.

Service was the big concept. He got all Obama-ed out. It was great! More on all this later.

Naomie Kremer's Ghosts

As part of the Magnes WINDOWS series , the latest installation is by Israeli-born, Berkeley-living artist Naomie Kremer . The WINDOWS series was launched to use the Magnes new facility to positive effect, namely as public art to be viewed at night: to bring more cultural content to downtown Berkeley and in the evenings when the street traffic is less -- to light up the night. Kremer's opening was this evening and we had a really nice turn out, including important local patrons of the arts, collectors etc. Here pictured are Jeff and Jane Green , Penny Cooper (one of the Bay Area's finest collections, focused primarily on women artists with her wife Rena Rosenwasser ). Here Naomie introduces her video piece on Bluebeard's Castle, by Bela Bartok .

Why Go to A Conference Anyways?

Review: Macbeth

Macbeth by William Shakespeare My rating: 4 of 5 stars Four and a half stars, with one major flaw: the producers chose to do this funny little trick of overlaying Cumming's voices when he was multiple characters, namely three weird sisters when they spoke at once. The result was echo-y and distracting. Otherwise, the whole thing felt like the smartest guy in the neighborhood inviting you over to listen to him read, and you cared: knew the story and really wanted to hear how he delivered. It was intimate and rewarding. It also made me think about how it is a story of Scots and English. View all my reviews
