Farewell to a Good Sport

6 days ago | jmoreliving.com | Michael Olesker

That was a lovely crowd gathered the other day to bid farewell to Jim Henneman, who left us, at 89, after covering every sport around here — except maybe quoits — from the dawning of the Kennedy White House years until recently. He covered the Orioles for so long, and so well, that the ball club named the press box at Camden Yards after him.
Local Author Amy L. Bernstein’s Book Urges Readers to Leave Doubt Out

1 week ago | jmoreliving.com | Simone Ellin

Amy L. Bernstein can pinpoint the exact moment when she decided to stop letting the clutches of doubt interfere with her dreams. At the time, Bernstein was employed by the federal government and feeling exhausted and unhappy. “I was commuting by train from Baltimore to D.C., and one day I almost crossed the platform to take the train to New York to play hooky,” she recalls. “My longing not go to work and step out of my life was so deep and profound. I realized, this can’t go on.
Remembering Joe Nawrozki and All of Our Veterans

2 weeks ago | jmoreliving.com | Michael Olesker

On this Memorial Day Weekend, I’m thinking about my old friend Joe Nawrozki, who got cheated when he came home from his war. Joe never phrased it that way, but I will. He was one of the thousands who served in Vietnam and came home to a country that gave him the cold shoulder instead of the warm embrace. There were no cheering crowds for Vietnam vets. At best, there was indifference; at worst, there was blame for a hideous war that was out of their control.
What's So Great About Being The Greatest?

2 weeks ago | jmoreliving.com | Alan H. Feiler

Jordan or LeBron? Beatles or Stones? Brando or DeNiro? Lincoln or FDR? “The Babe” or “The Georgia Peach”? Americans seem to immerse themselves in endless loops of discourse about who is the greatest of all time – the “G.O.A.T.,” if you will — whether the topic is sports, medicine, entertainment or even municipalities.
Fatal Shootings at D.C. Museum Offer Grim Validation for Those who Warned of ‘Free Palestine’ Violence

2 weeks ago | jmoreliving.com | Alan H. Feiler

By Philissa CramerTwo months after the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel, a man with a gun walked up the steps of a synagogue in Albany, New York, and fired into the air while shouting, “Free Palestine.”Children were inside the building. It was a nightmare scenario for those anxious about how protests against Israel’s war in Gaza could lead to antisemitic violence. In that case, no one was harmed before the man was arrested. But on Wednesday night, May 21, the nightmare came true.
Glimmers of Hope

Today, I made a stranger cry. Well, not a complete, random stranger. This was someone I’ve spoken to over the phone and via email several times over the past couple of years. I won’t identify her or the organization she represents because I don’t want to embarrass her in any way. Let me get this out of the way: the woman is not Jewish. Nor does she work for a Jewish organization. Just a nice, middle-aged, non-Jewish woman who lives in this area.
Prayer for Pimlico and Park Heights

3 weeks ago | jmoreliving.com | Michael Olesker

With thousands gathering for this weekend’s 150th running of the Preakness Stakes, I thought I’d drive past Pimlico Race Course and keep on going along lower Park Heights Avenue. No crowds were gathered on Park Heights, but there’s been plenty of running. The running has been going on for about 60 years. It’s running from, not running to.
Finding New Ways to Grow Professionally

3 weeks ago | jmoreliving.com | Lisa Cohn

Across industries, organizations are always on the lookout for talented professionals who bring experience and skill but also care deeply about the impact of their work. There’s a growing pool of individuals with just that combination — highly skilled professionals who have spent their careers in service-oriented roles and are now seeking new opportunities to grow, contribute, and make a difference. These candidates are more than just experienced — they’re purpose-driven.
Longtime MPT Leaders Larry Unger and George Beneman Set to Retire

3 weeks ago | jmoreliving.com | Simone Ellin

In an era when the typical job tenure of a Gen Z or Millennial employee is less than three years, Maryland Public Television bids farewell to a pair of Jewish stalwarts with more than eight decades of experience between them. This spring, Larry D. Unger, MPT’s president and CEO who has been with the PBS affiliate for 30 years, and George R. Beneman II, who has worked at MPT for more than a half-century, will retire from their positions. Steven J.
Forgotten Melodies

You might say bar mitzvah-to-be Micah Selinger is a triple threat. His mitzvah project, a requirement for his rite of passage at Columbia’s Beth Shalom Congregation this summer, has three different components — each substantial in their own right. The idea for his project came to Micah, a violinist, while attending one of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra’s “Recovered Voices” concerts.
