It’s Tisha B’Av, a time for immersing in brokenness. May we find there, God willing, a trustworthy hunger for wholeness.

Overjoyed to announce that _Every Body Beloved: a Jewish embrace of fatness_ is a 2026 IPPY Finalist.

May this recognition from the publishing world allow this little book to keep broadcasting the miracle of embodied wholeness and fat freedom farther and wider than ever.

Sometimes folks just don’t get it until we spell it (or sing it) out. Also, note to self, maybe don’t record in a park with lots of happy first graders. Also, see this week’s newsletter for more on this and for an exciting announcement about the IPPY awards!

I’m supposed to be in Jerusalem, celebrating Purim with my family.

But this war means that I am instead stuck in New York. It is a deluxe form of stuckness, the heartbreak is all here, and I am awakened by every siren alert that sends my loved ones to the shelter. But it also features very gracious hosting by a dear friend and dinner with another dear friend.

AND, amazingly, the opportunity presented by the good people at to make Every Body Beloved more accessible by spending some time in their recording studio.

Here’s me reading the end of Chapter 4 (and drinking a lychee sangria).

Gilded stuckness! Making sweet and meaningful lemonade from these lemons.

They told me to “show up and hope for the best.” I’m doing one better: I’m showing up with my community behind me.

My “fat tax” struggle to get to the US is a living example of why we need to talk about anti-fat bias.

Boxing Therapy in the community 💪

- excerpt from Minna Bromberg’s novel, Every Body Beloved, showcasing her experience with Boxing Therapy

“When my kickboxing teacher (Boxing Therapy Coach) says that she’s proud of me, she is peeling away the veils of assumption and expectation. She is assessing me based on whatever intention she and I have set together and the visible effort that I put into moving toward that goal, whether I actually reach it this time or not. When she’s proud of me, she brings more and more of my unique inner spark into the world.”
