Check out the upcoming Jewish Film Festival selections  http://www.sedonafilmfestival.org/Page.asp?NavID=192

I will be speaking about two of the films - "The Prime Ministers" on Tuesday and "Aftermath" on Wednesday.  Come and support this festival sponsored by the Jewish Community of Sedona and the Verde Valley  November 1 - 4, 2013.
I'm going to a Hadassah conference near Las Vegas, in which they will be honoring my friend from the Academy for Jewish Religion seminary days - Rabbi Yocheved Mintz.  We will spend much of Shabbat with her and her congregation, and then attend the big gala dinner in her honor Saturday night! 
A very well-deserved honor for her! 
Itzhak and I will remain (at a different resort) for two more days of a national Holocaust Survivors' conference, including workshops for Second and Third Generation Children of Survivors.  My professor, Michael Berenbaum, will be speaking at that conference.
This kind of get away is not what one would call a "relaxing vacation" but it is time away with a different energy.  Looking forward to both conferences.
