A great time in the Bronx? A great time in the Bronx!

At the table: Bella Schaechter-Gottesman, Shane Baker, Pinny Glauber, Itzik Gottesman, Hy Wolfe, Suzanne Katchko, Anthony Russell, et al.

I had a fantastic time today at the Sholem Aleichem Cultural Center in the Bronx, reading poetry in English and Yiddish (+ cookies/tea/book selling!/interpreting, or refusing to, the phrase "food of God") — all thanks to Itzik Gottesman et al. — and then hanging out at the house of Yiddish poet/songwriter Bella Schaechter-Gottesman. Extra bonus was the high-flying dinner/discussion thereafter with R' Pinny Glauber.
