Paris is the city in which one loves to live. Sometimes I think this is because it is the only city in the world where you can ste p out of a railway station--the Gare D'Orsay--and see, simultaneously, the chief enchantments: the Seine with its bridges and bookstalls, the Louvre, Notre Dame, the Tuileries Gardens, the Place de la Concorde, the beginning of the Champs Elysees--nearly everything except the Luxembourg Gardens and the Palais Royal. But what other city offers as much as you leave a train?                                             ~ Margaret Anderson, founder, editor and publisher

Sailboat at Sunset on the Hudson River

To reach a port we must set sail.  
Sail, not tie at anchor. 
Sail, not drift.

To go out with the setting sun on an empty beach is to truly embrace your solitude.                                                                        ~ Jeanne Moreau

Woman Praying, Israel 2013

I was asked to create a prayer for the celebration of Israel Independence Day, Yom Ha'atzmaut, April 22nd, which I recited during the following Shabbat services of the N'shama Minyan, my synagogue's women's prayer group that meets periodically, led by Rabbi Nina Bieber Feinstein.


Israel, I’ve been learning much about you, your people, your history and your mission the past few years.

Today I would like to bless you because I’ve received so much joy in my studying.

So – Israel, may you continue to take your place among the nations of the world with pride but learn that sovereignty means more than freedom, control and security. It also means responsibility.

May you learn to accept criticism given with love by your brethren from around the world.

May you realize that you are strong, not weak and learn how to use your power wisely.

When you rule over those in your midst who are not Jewish, may you govern through the filter of our shared Jewish values and remember how Jews were persecuted through the millennium.  

And may you be a light unto the world like I know you can.

Architecture is a visual art, and the buildings speak for themselves.                                                            ~ Julia Morgan

Julia Morgan (January 20, 1872 – February 2, 1957) was an American architect in California. She designed more than 700 buildings in California during a long and prolific career. She is best known for her work on Hearst Castle in San Simeon, California.

Morgan was the first woman to be admitted to the architecture program at l’Ecole nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris and the first woman architect licensed in California. She designed many buildings for institutions serving women and including YWCA buildings and buildings for Mills College.

Morgan embraced the Arts and Crafts Movement and used various producers of California pottery to adorn her buildings.

Julian Morgan is the first woman to receive the AIA Gold Medal, which she received posthumously.
