Hello, friends! How are you?

Are you cold? I’m cold, and I’m angry about it. I want to punch the wind.

I come to you today with news of a big collaboration. I have finally worked with Keshet, which is basically the Taylor Swift of LGBTQ+ Jewish nonprofits.

For those unfamiliar, Keshet ("rainbow" in Hebrew) advocates and provides programming for the LGBTQ+ Jewish community. They’re a big name around these parts.

I’ve been wanting to work with them for years, but I didn’t know how. I had to figure out what my humble little operation could offer the Taylor Swift of LGBTQ+ Jewish nonprofits.

Keshet offers youth programming but is not in desperate need of college counseling for their teens. That wasn’t going to work. But I realized that I possess several desirable qualities in addition to my college counseling skills: I can write, I can ask good questions, and I have a platform for sharing ideas.

I am the editor-in-chief of a publication called… My Blog. I am also the editor-in-chief of a publication called This Newsletter. Sooooo I’m actually a pretty big deal.

I invited Keshet’s Youth Programs Manager Sawyer Goldsmith to do an interview for my blog, they said yes, and the piece is up! We had an interesting and nuanced conversation that will give prospective participants a good idea of what to expect when attending Keshet’s youth programs.

I’m grateful to my collaborators and very proud to have this piece on my blog! I hope you will give it a read.
