TAKE A LOOK AT MY ESSAYS.
"MY TORAH JOURNEY"
I was 58 when I started learning Hebrew. My mother had died, and I wanted to honor her with the Kaddish prayer.

"LOOKING FOR LOVE ON jDATE"
When my husband died after our 50-plus years of marriage, I tried to make a life for myself. But a year of lunch with the ladies, my book club and yoga could take me just so far down my road less traveled.
"...I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT GOLDA MEIR"
How terrible, I thought, when I learned the Capitol had been stormed by a mob. How could this happen in our country. And yet, when I consider the election itself--how the record number of women will serve in Congress, and how Kamala Harris will soon be our next Vice President --I'm flying high.
"JUST A GIRL WHO CAN'T SAY NO"
Not since I was a chubby adolescent and thought I was Lana Turner in the mirror on my mother's bedroom door, did I ever imagine my self in a beauty contest. So why, at age 80, did I find myself trussed up in Spandex, in front of hundreds of strangers in a a Ms. Senior America Pageant.
I HOPE YOU ENJOY MY REVIEWS:
"RetroBlakesberg: Vol I"
by Jay Blakesberg
When the pandemic hit in 2020, many folks spent their isolated hours cleaning out closets and bureau drawers. Others decided learning a new language was the way to get through it. Not Ricki Blakesberg.
" All About Me: My Remarkable Life in Show Business"
by Mel Brooks
No stranger to the pen Mel Brooks has written a neat dozen tomes including this one. Now the 95-year-old Brooks details his life in full. In easy to digest chapters, the funny man takes readers from his early years in Brooklyn as a depression-era kid to the recipient of the National Medal of Arts at the White House, with stops on TV, the big screen and Broadway.
“Giuliani: The Rise and Tragic Fall of America’s Mayor”
by Andrew Kirtzman
Has Rudy Giuliani, the once world-class mayor revered by millions who cleaned up crime in New York City, put the brakes on Wall Street, and gave the free world hope after 9/11, become a joke of his own making?
