Channel Esther: “Catch”
by Esther Cohen
Yesterday sitting next to
Howard Aaron at the American Hotel
in Sag Harbor (go there if you
haven’t already) he described
visiting his mother in Mount Sinai
Worst food ever he said
But on the counter was a big sign:
Catch of the Day.
Someone wrote underneath
Dr. Levine in Pediatrics.
Esther Cohen writes a poem nearly daily at “Esther Cohen, Facebook Poet.”
I’m Arielle Angel, editor-at-large of Jewish Currents. Before you go, there’s something I need to ask.
We’ve seen over and over how the mainstream media falters in telling stories on our beats—whether it’s antisemitism, Israel/Palestine in American politics, Jewish identity, or the American left. At Jewish Currents we’re committed to uncompromising analysis and longform reporting on these issues and more—stories you won’t find anywhere else. In a media landscape that obscures injustice and flattens discussion, we’re changing the conversation. But we need you.
If you believe in this work, please consider making a donation—or even better, a recurring one—to ensure that we are able to keep publishing stories like this one. We can’t do it without you.
Lawrence Bush edited Jewish Currents from 2003 until 2018. He is the author of Bessie: A Novel of Love and Revolution and Waiting for God: The Spiritual Explorations of a Reluctant Atheist, among other books. His new volume of illustrated Torah commentaries, American Torah Toons 2, is scheduled for publication this year.
