It's day 5 of #Passover and we're nearly out of candy. Our shopping priorities were clearly wrong. #sendHelp #Pesach #Jewstodon #Mazeldon

Child #3, away at college, goes to CVS and buys #chametz. Yesterday. Using my credit card. 🤦 I find this out when I get the email receipt from CVS.
Normally I pay for his food at college.
There's a lot of #halacha I'm not so strict about, but not #Pesach.
"I need you to not be buying chametz with my credit card on Pesach," I tell him. He apologizes.
"I am taking that out of the money I owe you, because I can't be owning chametz on Pesach."
He agrees.

Last night, I sang from Letters to Fred by Bracha Bdil. Thanks to Staatstheater Darmstadt for supporting this epic 40 minute song cycle, and for the opportunity to tell Fred’s story. I am thrilled to announce that I will be singing the full work next season at Theater Hagen, thanks to new Intendant Søren Schuhmacher, our former Operndirektor in Darmstadt!

LETTERS TO FRED

„Zwei Liedprogramme an einem Tag spannten einen Bogen von Lebenslust, Poesie und gerechtem Zorn am Vormittag zu trauerndem Andenken am Abend. Zwei Freundinnen erlebten dies gemeinsam, Megan Marie Hart auf den Bühnen, Joanne Herzberg im Publikum.“

❤️ Vielen Dank, lieber Detlef Obens & @opernmagazin!

LETTERS TO FRED: A Portrait of the Herzberg Family During the Holocaust
Song Cycle by Bracha Bdil

The terrible brutality of the Holocaust is so incomprehensible in its extent that it can only be understood on the basis of individual fates. This song cycle quotes from letters to the only survivor of the #Herzberg family from #Detmold.

Picture from last night, in my dressing room, as I was waiting to sing “You’ll never walk alone” from the musical Carousel by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II at the New Year's reception of the Darmstadt 98 sports club, also called “Die Lilien”.

For some reason, that’s a football anthem!?! Gotta love them for picking a work by Jews! Go Lilien!

On Sunday I will sing two recitals, one in the morning in #Detmold, and one in the evening in #Darmstadt.

The morning recital will be in the Landestheater Detmold with pianist Mathias Mönius, featuring some of my favorite Jewish composers: Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Leonard Bernstein, Lazar Weiner, Simon Sargon, Jerome Kern, Harold Arlen, Sholom Secunda, and Abraham Ellstein!

And now something disturbing: I posted this picture on Facebook, with the same text (in one post), and it didn’t show up on my timeline, nor on the timelines of any of my friends!

Seems like the words Auschwitz and/or Holocaust will trigger a shadow ban on Facebook now.

Letters to Fred is a collection of letters sent to my dearest friend Jo Herzberg’s father during the Holocaust, and we hope we can do him justice. The performance will take place on January 27th on the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.

What are the halachic implications of having God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman stuck in my head for all of December because every damn place I have to be has it on constant repeat? #jewdiverse #jewstodon #jwitter #JTwitter
