Nothing Happens, Nobody Goes, It’s Awful

[CLOSED!] “Nothing happens. Nobody comes, nobody goes. It’s awful” – Waiting for Godot: A workshop about our current state of mind-limbo. We are constantly waiting, dreading. Let us cultivate that anxiety into an essay, a poem or a short story.

Haven’t the Jewish People Suffered Enough

Humor is the art that has sustained Jews through catastrophe. With David Foster Wallace, we’ll discover the craft that transforms tragedy into laughter. After Oct 7, humor is not an option but a legacy to uphold.  

Food For Thoughts

By Popular Demand! Because we need this! Join Us and Nora Ephron – The Role of Food in Our Lives – Especially Now: “After a hard day, there is something comforting about the fact that if you melt butter and add flour and then hot stock, it will get thick! It’s a sure thing!”

"It's always a valuable experience with such great insight and advice! I feel so lucky to be a part of Writing on the Wall. Thank you William Kolbrener and Ronit Eitan!"
