Letter to My Writing Mentor Judith Marks-White (1940-2024)
Dear Judith, Even though it’s been months since I watched a rabbi play show tunes at your funeral I still regularly pick up my phone to text you. Every time my writing is acknowledged in some way, it’s you I want to tell first, and so to say that this has been a period of adjustment is something of an understatement.
