A Full Week of Events!
Zibby and Alli Frank spoke to the Wood River Jewish Community about what it means to be Jewish now a few days following the murders of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim. They had an extremely meaningful virtual conversation about maintaining hope, and yes, a little bit of anger, during these difficult times.

Zibby also had the opportunity to be in conversation with Tara Walpert Levy, the vice president of YouTube’s Americas, to speak to Google’s Jewglers about her journey and gave incredible advice on parenting and writing as a Jew today.
Later that day, Zibby spoke to the Caffe Aronne book club about On Being Jewish Now — the pouring rain couldn’t stop them!
