ANNE and EMMETT by Janet Langhart Cohen ( https://anneandemmett.com/ )
"Anne & Emmett is an imaginary conversation between Anne Frank and Emmett Till, both victims of racial intolerance and hatred. Anne Frank, portrayed by Mary Charles Johnson, is the 15-year-old Jewish girl who died in 1945 and whose Diary provided a gripping perspective of the Holocaust. Emmett Till portrayed by Darrick Brown, is the 14-year old African-American boy whose brutal murder in 1955 in Mississippi sparked the Modern American Civil Rights Movement. The play opens with the two teenagers meeting in Memory, a place that isolates them from the cruelty they experienced during their lives. The beyond-the-grave encounter draws the startling similarities between the two youths' harrowing experiences at the hands of societies that couldn't protect them." Click to Continue

Did you know that Jews can celebrate
Valentine's day twice a year?

Happy Valentine's day to all our subscribers. There is some controversy among Jews if it is all right to celebrate what was originally a Christian holiday. The exchanging of cards, flowers, and gifts has turned what was once a religious holiday into a secular one that is generally accepted to be consistent with Jewish law. Source: Click Here
So go ahead and treat that someone special on Valentine's day.

A second chance for a romantic day occurs in August, the 15th of Av, with the celebration of the Jewish minor holiday of Tu B'av. It is a popular day for weddings and romantic activities in Israel. It is an ancient festival where unmarried women would dance in the vineyards in the hope of attracting the watching males. Source: Click Here
So go ahead and treat that someone special on Tu B'av.
Romance twice a year. Life is good!
