Fabulous review by @DavidMarkHerman of The English GI: World War II Graphic Memoir in today's Jewish Chronicle. All the more poignant as my grandfather was a huge admirer and supporter of David's late father, the painter, Joseph Herman. @JewishChron. tinyurl.com/4cyf5u3a

This Shabbat I read A Visit to Moscow by @AnnaOlswanger, illustrated by @znayberg 📖🇷🇺 Exactly 60 years ago, a group of rabbis spent Shabbat Parshat Pinchas in the USSR. A moving story of courage and faith behind the Iron Curtain. My review drops tomorrow! @ShabbosReads ✡️🔥

A story that still resonates 60 years later — faith, courage, and a Shabbat in Moscow. Honored to share my thoughts on A Visit to Moscow by @AnnaOlswanger & @znayberg. Read my full review graphicmemoir.co.uk/f/graphic-nove…
