Ah, yes. Another morning, another example of antisemitic trolls trying to take down a Jewish creative project. It’s just another day in our post-October 7th world. Ironically, that’s exactly what this project is about. My husband Kyle and I are associate producers on the upcoming film called “October 8,” produced and directed by Wendy Sachs. (Trailer here.) got us involved early on, and then we looped in my brother, Teddy Schwarzman, who ended up becoming an executive producer.

I love to read. That feeling of getting lost in a story is priceless. The best is when I’m so into a book that I literally can’t put it down, like when I was finishing Charlotte McConaghy’s latest novel Wild Dark Shorelast week and read it on the plane from Miami, getting off the plane, walking through the airport, and in the car home, gasping all the way. Like many book lovers, that comes with a deep respect for authors.
