Midnight Latkes with Liz Neumark

As many of you know, we left Manhattan for Houston to attend Graduate School in the late 1990s. Before then, I worked my way through Hunter College by catering private homes and many other-sized parties, thanks to this woman, who hired my husband and me. We worked every Jewish Holiday together as a duet and had regular clients for Passover, too. We returned to New York City in the fall of 2007 to both work as teachers. When I reflect on my journey and my commitment to the Jewish community today, I can’t help but think of Liz. She is our former employer, our mentor, and our friend.  When I think about Hanukkah, and I think about Latkes–I’m committed to Non Fiction storytelling being the most essential part of the human spirit, this audio version of her telling this story is part of it. Peace and Kindness.
