Only a couple of more classes left to my Stand-up Comedy class at Santa Monica College. My stand-up comedy teacher wants me to be more conversational and less theatrical when I deliver my bits. My husband said, “Is he asking you to be more white and less Dominican?” Aliza on Stupid Questions I am a… Continue reading Stand-up Comedy Routine #4

Check out the interviews with “From Ghetto to Ghetto: An African-American Journey to Judaism” author and African-American convert Ernest H. Adams and “Unlocked: The Life and Crimes of a Mafia Insider” author and convert Louis Ferrante. I just picked up Ferrante’s book and I’m hoping to read it soon. As for Ernest H. Adams, I’ve… Continue reading The Jewish Channel Features "Atypical Converts"
What if the United States government decided who is and isn’t Jewish.

Seth J. Frantzman tells you what really happened when one Ethiopian woman’s conversion was annulled after a run-in with a cold-blooded but connected yeshiva student in “Terra Incognita: Where’s the justice for a working-class heroine?” “High Court to rule on yeshiva student’s acquittal” makes you wonder if about the additions that could be made to… Continue reading Justice
