Australian Open-mesterskabet i herresingle 2019 var den 107. turnering om Australian Open-mesterskabet i herresingle. Turneringen var en del af Australian Open 2019 og blev spillet i Melbourne Park i Melbourne, Victoria, Australien. Hovedturneringen blev afviklet i perioden 14. - 27. januar 2019, mens kvalifikationen spilledes ugen før hovedturneringen i dagene 8. - 11. januar 2019.

Mesterskabet blev vundet af Novak Djokovic, som dermed vandt Australian Open-mesterskabet i herresingle for syvende gang, hvilket ingen før ham havde præsteret. Inden da havde han delt rekorden for flest vundne herresingletitler ved mesterskabet med Roy Emerson og Roger Federer, som begge vandt seks titler. Sejren var samtidig hans 15. grand slam-titel i herresingle gennem tiden, hvilket bragte ham alene på tredjepladsen over herresinglespillere med flest grand slam-titler – en plads han indtil da havde delt med Pete Sampras med 14 titler. Djokovic havde dermed vundet tre grand slam-mesterskaber i træk, idet hans sejr fulgte i køvandet på hans triumfer ved Wimbledon 2018 og US Open 2018, og han blev dermed den første spiller, der vandt (mindst) tre grand slam-titler i træk tre gange i løbet af sin karriere.

Finalen var en gentagelse af Australian Open-finalen i 2012, der satte rekord som den længste grand slam-finale nogensinde med en varighed på 5 timer og 53 minutter, men Novak Djokovic og Rafael Nadal var denne gang kun på banen i godt en tredjedel af rekordfinalens længde, idet Djokovic på blot 2 timer og fire minutter udklasserede Nadal med 6-3, 6-2, 6-3. Både i semifinalen og finalen var serberens antal af uprovokerede fejl under 10 (i finalen endte totalen på 9), og han beskrev efterfølgende selv finalen som "i sandhed en perfekt kamp".

Rafael Nadal var i Australian Open-finalen for femte gang, og havde kvalificeret sig til finalen uden at tabe et eneste sæt i de første seks runder, men havde efter nederlaget til Novak Djokovic tabt de seneste fire finaler i træk. Det var endvidere første gang, at Rafael Nadal måtte forlade banen efter en grand slam-finale uden at have vundet et sæt.

Den forsvarende mester, Roger Federer, tabte i fjerde runde til Stefanos Tsitsipas, der vandt en tæt kamp med 6-7(11), 7-6(3), 7-5, 7-6(5).

Siden sidste mesterskab var kampenes format blevet ændret, idet Tennis Australia havde indført en ny afgørelse på afgørende sæt i form af en tiebreak til 10 point ved stillingen 6-6, som afløste det hidtidige format, hvor det sidste sæt skulle vindes med to overskydende partier. Det nye format kom i brug allerede på andendagen, hvor Jérémy Chardy blev den første vinder af en kamp afgjort med en 10-points-tiebreak i femte sæt ved Australian Open-mesterskabet i herresingle, da han besejrede Ugo Humbert med 3-6, 7-6(6), 6-4, 6-7(4), 7-6(10-6).

Pengepræmier og ranglistepoint

Den samlede præmiesum til spillerne i herresingle androg A$ 24.950.000 (ekskl. per diem), hvilket var en stigning på ca. 14 % i forhold til året før.

Højdepunkter

Første runde

De to seneste års mester, tredjeseedede Roger Federer, sikrede sig nemt adgang til anden runde ved at besejre Denis Istomin med 6-3, 6-4, 6-4, hvilket var hans 15. vundne kamp i træk ved mesterskabet, mens andenseedede Rafael Nadal, der sæsondebuterede i Melbourne og spillede sin første kamp siden US Open-semifinalen den 7. september 2018, havde en næsten lige så nem rejse i sin åbningskamp mod James Duckworth, hvor spanieren vandt med 6-4, 6-3, 7-5. Wimbledon-finalisten Kevin Anderson, der havde vundet optakststurneringen i Pune en uge tidligere, gik videre til anden runde med en sejr over Adrian Mannarino på 6-3, 5-7, 6-2, 6-1, og sjetteseedede Marin Čilić, der var forsvarende finalist, præsterede 24 serveesser på vej til sejren på 6-2, 6-4, 7-6(3) mod Bernard Tomic.

Den højst seedede herresinglespiller, der måtte forlade mesterskabet på førstedagen, var John Isner, som i en kamp mellem to af de højeste spillere på touren (Isner er 208 cm, mens Opelka er 211 cm høj) blev slået 7-6(4), 7-6(6), 6-7(4), 7-6(5) af 21-årige Reilly Opelka, som for første gang nogensinde vandt en hovedturneringskamp ved en grand slam-turnering. Til gengæld spillede Karen Khatjanov (seedet 10) sig sikkert videre med en sejr på 3-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-3 over Peter Gojowczyk, mens 13.-seedede Kyle Edmund, der året før havde nået semifinalen, blev slået ud af en anden tidligere Australian Open-semifinalist fra 2014 og 2015, Tomáš Berdych, med 6-3, 6-0, 7-5. 2017-semifinalisten Grigor Dimitrov, der i sæsonpausen havde hyret Andre Agassi som træner, og som var blevet seedet som nr. 20, gik videre efter at have vundet med 4-6, 6-3, 6-1, 6-4 over Janko Tipsarević, der på grund af skader spillede sin første turnering siden US Open 2017.

Roberto Bautista Agut, der havde vundet optaktsturneringen i Doha gik videre til anden runde efter at have besejret Andy Murray med 6-4, 6-4, 6-7(5), 6-7(4), 6-2. Det blev dermed et følelsesladet farvel til den tidligere femdobbelte Australian Open-finalist og verdensetter fra Skotland, som inden turneringen havde bekendtgjort, at han spillede sin sidste Australian Open. Den 19-årige australier Alex de Minaur, som i ugen inden Australian Open ved Sydney International havde vundet sin første titel på ATP Tour, gik videre til anden runde ved at vinde med 6-4, 7-5, 6-4 over Pedro Sousa, der spillede sin første grand slam-kamp. 20-årige Stefanos Tsitsipas (seedet 14) blev den første græske mand, der vandt en kamp ved Australian Open, da han på førstedagen sendte Matteo Berrettini hjem med et nederlag på 6-7(3), 6-4, 6-3, 7-6(4).

De to højst seedede spillere i den øverste halvdel af lodtrækningen gik på mesterskabets anden dag begge sikkert videre til anden runde. Den tidligere seksdobbelte mester, førsteseedede Novak Djokovic, startede mod kvalifikanten Mitchell Krueger, der spillede sin blot anden grand slam-kamp, og avancerede efter sejr på 6-3, 6-2, 6-2, mens Alexander Zverev (seedet 4) også undgik sættab i sin første kamp mod Aljaž Bedene, der blev vundet med 6-4, 6-1, 6-4.

Det krævede til gengæld hårdt arbejde fra Dominic Thiem [7], da han gik videre efter en maratondyst mod Benoît Paire, der først sluttede kl. 02:08 med resultatet 6-4, 6-3, 5-7, 1-6, 6-3, og for den tidligere US Open-finalist Kei Nishikori, der havde vundet opvarmningsturneringen i Brisbane, og som kom tilbage efter at have tabt de to første sæt mod grand slam-debutanten Kamil Majchrzak, der måtte opgive med krampe ved stillingen 3-6, 6-7(6), 6-0, 6-2, 3-0. Samme udfordringer havde Borna Ćorić [11] ikke, da han let vandt med 6-1, 6-4, 6-4 over Steve Darcis, og 12.-seedede Fabio Fognini drog fordel af at Jaume Munar måtte opgive sin førsterundekamp midt i tredje sæt efter at have tabt de to første. Den tidligere Wimbledon-finalist Milos Raonic (seedet 16) besejrede hjemmebanehåbet Nick Kyrgios med 6-4, 7-6(5), 6-4. Den 15.-seedede russer Daniil Medvedev tabte blot fire partier i sin sejr på 61, 6-2, 6-1 over Lloyd Harris, og den David Goffin kunne registrere det samme antal tabte partier i sin kamp mod Christian Garin, der endte 6-0, 6-2, 6-2, og det unge canadiske håb, Denis Shapovalov (seedet 25), vandt sin sjette førsterundekamp i træk på grand slam-niveau, da han besejrede Pablo Andujar med 6-2, 6-3, 7-6(3).

Anden runde

Roger Federer indledte anden runde med at blive udfordret i en tæt kamp mod Dan Evans, som han dog vandt med 7-6(5), 7-6(3), 6-3, mens Rafael Nadal fulgte op ved at besejre Matthew Ebden med 6-3, 6-2, 6-2. Marin Čilić spillede sig også videre ved at besejre Mackenzie McDonald i fire sæt. Karen Khatjanov (seedet 10) og Stefanos Tsitsipas (14) kvalificerede sig til begge til tredje runde af Australian Open for første gang. Khatjanov efter sejr over Yoshihito Nishioka med 3 × 6-3, mens Tsitsipas vandt over den serbiske veteran Viktor Troicki med 6-3, 2-6, 6-2, 7-5. Kevin Anderson (seedet 5) blev til gengæld den højst seedede spiller, der tabte i anden runde, da den rutinerede sydafrikaner blev slået ud af 20-årige Frances Tiafoe, der vandt sin hidtil største sejr i karrieren med 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 7-5.

18.-seeede Diego Schwartzman vandt med 6-4, 7-5, 3-6, 6-7(6), 6-4 over Denis Kudla på 3 timer og 50 minutter, og Nikoloz Basilashvili (seedet 19) kæmpede sig forbi kvalifikanten Stafano Travaglia med 3-6, 6-3, 3-6, 6-4, 6-3. Grigor Dimitrov (20) slog Pablo Cuevas med 6-3, 6-7(5), 6-3, 7-5, mens 21-årige Taylor Fritz besejrede 30.-seedede Gaël Monfils med 6-3, 6-7(8), 7-6(6), 7-6(5),, og det 19-årige hjemmebanehåb Alex de Minaur (seedet 27) misbrugte en matchbold i tredje sæt, inden han afværgede et comeback fra kvalifikanten Henri Laaksonen og vandt i fem sæt, 6-4, 6-2, 6-7(7), 4-6, 6-3. Tomáš Berdych brugte kun 79 minutter på at slå Robin Haase med 6-1, 6-3, 6-3.

Anden runde blev spillet færdig på mesterskabets fjerde dag, der bl.a. bød på et gensyn for de to herresinglefinalister fra Australian Open 2008, hvor Novak Djokovic vandt sin første grand slam-titel, men Jo-Wilfried Tsonga opnåede ikke revanche for det elleve år gamle nederlag, da serberen spillede sig sikkert videre til tredje runde med en sejr på 6-3, 7-5, 6-4. Alexander Zverev måtte derimod kæmpe sig igennem fem sæt for at besejre Jérémy Chardy med 7-6(5), 6-4, 5-7, 6-7(6), 6-1. Kei Nishikori (8) vandt sin anden femsætter i træk og forbederede sin i forvejen fremragende statistik i afgørende sæt (nr. 1 på ATP Tour) ved at besejre den 39-årige servekanon Ivo Karlović med 6-3, 7-6(6), 5-7, 5-7, 7-6(10-7). Kroaten opnåede dermed ikke at blive den ældste mand i tredje runde ved Australian Open siden Ken Rosewall (44 år) i 1978.

For anden kamp i træk besejrede Milos Raonic en tidligere top 15-spiller, da han i anden runde vandt med 7-6(4), 6-7(6), 7-6(11), 7-6(5) over den tidligere mester Stan Wawrinka i en kamp, der blev afbrudt på grund af regnvejr i tredje sæt og fuldført indedørs efter at skydetaget på Rod Laver Arena var blevet lukket. Blandt de øvrige seedede spillere, der på fjerdedagen gik videre til tredje runde, var 11.-seedede Borna Ćorić, der avancerede efter sejr på 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 over Márton Fucsovics,
12.-seedede Fabio Fognini, der vandt over Leonardo Mayer med 7-6(3), 6-3, 7-6(5), Daniil Medvedev (15), som vandt 3 × 6-3 over Ryan Harrison., David Goffin (21), som besejrede Marius Copil med 5-7, 7-5, 6-2, 6-4., 23.-seedede Pablo Carreño Busta, som vandt over Ilja Ivasjka med 6-2, 6-3, 7-6(7), og Lucas Pouille (28), der gik videre efter sejr på 7-6(8), 7-6(8), 5-7, 6-4 over Maximilian Marterer.

Hele 10 spillere på 22 år eller derunder gik videre til tredje runde, hvilket var det højeste antal ved Australian Open-mesterskabet i herresingle siden 2004, herunder 19-årige Denis Shapovalov (seedet 25), som kvalificerede sig til tredje runde af mesterskabet for første gang ved at besejre Taro Daniel med 6-3, 7-6(2), 6-3, og Alexei Popyrin, der gik videre, fordi 7.-seedede Dominic Thiem måtte trække sig pga. sygdom ved stillingen 7-5, 6-4, 2-0 til den 19-årige australier.

Den australske wildcard-spiller Alex Bolt afværgede fire matchbolde i fjerde sæts tiebreak mod Gilles Simon (seedet 29), inden han kunne trække sig tilbage med sejrscifrene 2-6, 6-4, 4-6, 7-6(8), 6-4. Chung Hyeon (seedet 24) blev slået ud af Pierre-Hugues Herbert, der vandt med 6-2, 1-6, 6-2, 6-4, og som dermed gik videre til tredje runde af en grand slam-turnering i single for fjerde gang i sin karriere, mens 32.-seedede Philipp Kohlschreiber brugte over fire timer på at tabe med 5-7, 6-4, 6-7(4), 7-5, 4-6 til João Sousa.

Tredje runde

Kampene i tredje runde blev indledt på mesterskabets femte dag, hvor både Rafael Nadal (seedet 2) og Roger Federer (3) uden sættab spillede sig videre til fjerde runde i Australian Open for henholdsvis 12. og 17. gang i deres respektive karrierer. Nadal kunne endda fejre et særligt jubilæum, idet sejren på 6-1, 6-2, 6-4 over Alex de Minaur (27) var hans 250. vundne grand slam-kamp (36 nederlag), og Federer brugte blot 88 minutter på at sende Taylor Fritz ud med 6-2, 7-5, 6-2. Også Tomáš Berdych forbedrede sin statistik i Melbourne, da han med en sejr på 5-7, 6-3, 7-5, 6-4 over Diego Schwartzman (18) for 11. gang i sin karriere kvalificerede sig til fjerde runde.

Sjetteseedede Marin Čilić var til gengæld i alvorlige problemet og måtte kæmpe sig tilbage fra 0-2 i sæt og bl.a. afværge to matchbolde i fjerde sæt, inden han gik videre med 4-6, 3-6, 6-1, 7-6(8), 6-3 mod Fernando Verdasco. Kampen varede 4 timer og 18 minutter og sluttede først kl. 00:57 om natten. Useedede Frances Tiafoe skulle også bruge fem sæt til at kvalificere sig til fjerde runde af en grand slam-turnering for første gang. Det gik ud over Andreas Seppi, der blev besejret 6-7(3), 6-3, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3. Seppis landsmand Thomas Fabbiano måtte også forlade turneringen i tredje runde, hvor Grigor Dimitrov (20) sendte ham ud med cifrene 7-6(5), 6-4, 6-4. Stefanos Tsitsipas (14) tangerede sit bedste grand slam-resultat, da han kvalificerede sig til fjerde runde ved at besejre Nikoloz Basilashvili (19) med 6-3, 3-6, 7-6(7), 6-4, mens Roberto Bautista Agut (22) vandt sin ottende kamp i træk i 2019, da han gik videre efter 6-4, 7-5, 6-4 mod Karen Khatjanov (10).

På sjettedagen blev de sidste kampe i tredje runde spillet, hvor bl.a. Novak Djokovic (1) spillede sig videre til fjerde runde med en sejr på 6-3, 6-4, 4-6, 6-0 over Denis Shapovalov (25). Serberen syntes at cruise mod næste runde, men ved stillingen 6-3, 6-4, 4-1 tabte han pludselig fem partier i træk, inden han afgjorde opgøret i fjerde sæt. Sejren sikrede, at Djokovic efter turneringen kunne fortsætte på førstepladsen af ATP's verdensrangliste. Alexander Zverev (4) gik videre til Australian Opens fjerde runde for første gang ved at vinde 6-3, 6-3, 6-2 over Alex Bolt.

Kei Nishikori (8) og João Sousa nøjedes begge for første gang i denne turnering med mindre end fem sæt, da japaneren i tredje runde vandt med 7-6(6), 6-1, 6-2.
Borna Ćorić (11) tangerede sit bedste grand slam-resultat, da ligesom ved US Open 2018 gik videre til fjerde runde. Han besejrede i tredje runde Filip Krajinović med 2-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-3.

Daniil Medvedev (15) vandt for tredje runde i træk med 3-0 i sæt, da han for første gang gik videre til fjerde runde af en grand slam-turnering, ved at besejre David Goffin (21) med 6-2, 7-6(3), 6-3,  og Milos Raonic (16) gik videre ved at besejre Pierre-Hugues Herbert med 6-4, 6-4, 7-6(6). Pablo Carreño Busta (23) beholdt sin statistik som ubesejret mod Fabio Fognini (12), da han for sjette gang i karrieren besejrede italieren med 6-2, 6-4, 2-6, 6-4, mens Lucas Pouille (28) skulle bruge tre timer og 43 minutter til at nedkæmpe Alexei Popyrin med 7-6(3), 6-3, 6-7(10), 4-6, 6-3.

Fjerde runde

Fjerde runde blev endestationen for begge finalister fra de foregående års mesterskab. Den forsvarende mester, 37-årige Roger Federer (seedet 3), måtte strække våben mod 20-årige Stefanos Tsitsipas (14), der vandt med 6-7(11), 7-6(3), 7-5, 7-6(5) i en kamp med kun ét servegennembrud, og hvor grækeren afværgede samtlige 12 breakbolde, som Federer tilspillede sig i hans serv, herunder fire sætbolde ved stillingen 4-5 i tredje sæt, der kunne havde bragt den schweiziske veteran foran med 2-1 i sæt. Dermed blev han den første græker, der spillede sig frem til en grand slam-kvartfinale, og der første spiller siden 2016, der besejrede Roger Federer, hvis serie på vundne kampe i træk i Melbourne endte på 17. Og sidste år finalist, Marin Čilić (6), tabte i en maratondyst på 3 timer og 58 minutter til Roberto Bautista Agut (22), der efter fem sæt sejrede med 6-7(6), 6-3, 6-2, 4-6, 6-4, og som dermed – ligesom Tsitsipas – kvalificerede sig til en grand slam-kvartfinale for første gang. Det var den 30-årige spaniers niende sejr i træk i 2019 og hans tredje femsætskamp i løber af de fire føste ved denne turnering. Frances Tiafoe fuldtendte trioen af spillere, der på mesterskabets syvende dag spillede sig i kvartfinalen i en grand slam-turnering for første gang, da han på sin 21 års fødselsdag vandt med 7-5, 7-6(6), 6-7(1), 7-5 over Grigor Dimitrov (20) i endnu en tæt kamp, der varede over 3½ time.

Til gengæld spillede Rafael Nadal (2) sig sikkert videre, da han for fjerde kamp i træk vandt med 3-0 i sæt. Denne gang besejrede han Tomáš Berdych med 6-0, 6-1, 7-6(4), og han startede kampen med at vinde de ni første partier. Det var 11. gang, at Rafael Nadal gik videre til kvartfinalerne ved Australian Open, hvilket kun Roger Federer tidligere havde præsteret.

Også topseedede Novak Djokovic sikrede sig en plads i kvartfinalerne, da han vandt med 6-4, 6-7(5), 6-2, 6-3 over Daniil Medvedev (15), og dermed nåede han op på mindst 10 kvartfinalepladser i alle fire grand slam-turneringer. Han fik selskab af maratonmanden Kei Nishikori (8), der for tredje gang ved denne turnering var ude i fem sæt. Denne gang mod Pablo Carreño Busta (23), der første efter fem timer og fem minutters spil måtte strække våben med cifrene 6-7(8), 4-6, 7-6(4), 6-4, 7-6(10-8). Carreño Busta var ellers foran med 8-5 i femte sæts tiebreak med tabte altså kampens sidste fem point.

Milos Raonic (16) tabte kun otte partier i sin sejr på 6-1, 6-1, 7-6(5) over Alexander Zverev (4), da han gik videre til kvartfinalen for fjerde gang på de seneste fem år, mens Lucas Pouille (28) kvalificerede sig til Australian Open-kvartfinalen for første gang, da han sendte Borna Ćorić (11) hjem med et nederlag på 6-7(4), 6-4, 7-5, 7-6(2).

Kvartfinaler

I kvartfinalerne vandt Rafael Nadal (2) sin femte kamp i træk med 3-0 i sæt i en kamp, hvor han brød Frances Tiafoes første serveparti i alle tre sæt og sendte amerikaneren ud af turneringen med cifrene 6-3, 6-4, 6-2. Dermed kvalificerede spanieren sig til den 30. grand slam-semifinale i karrieren og den sjette semifinale ved Australian Open-mesterskabet i herresingle, og det var hans 21. grand slam-sejr i træk over en amerikansk spiller i en stime, der havde varet i over 13 år.

Stefanos Tsitsipas (14) vandt sin femte kamp i træk med 3-1 i sæt i sejren på 7-5, 4-6, 6-4, 7-6(2) over Roberto Bautista Agut (22), hvorved han kvalificerede sig til sin første grand slam-semifinale. Tsitsipas (20 år 168 dage) blev dermed den yngste Australian Open-semifinalist siden Andy Roddick (20 år 149 dage) i 2003 og den yngste mand i en grand slam-semifinale siden Novak Djokovic (20 år 110 dage) ved US Open 2007.

Lucas Pouille (28) kvalificerede sig til karrierens første grand slam-semifinale ved at besejre Milos Raonic (16) med 7-6(4), 6-3, 6-7(2), 6-4. Kampen var de to spilleres fjerde indbyrdes opgør, men det var første gang, at Pouille overhovedet vandt et sæt.

I den sidste kvartfinale måtte Kei Nishikori (8) opgive på grund af en skade i højre lår ved stillingen 6-1, 4-1 til Novak Djokovic (1) efter blot 52 minutters spil. Dermed sikrede Novak Djokovic sig en plads i Australian Open-semifinalen for syvende gang, men for første gang siden 2016. Det var samtidig hans 34. grand slam-semifinaleplads i karrieren, og det var hans 15. sejr i træk mod japaneren i deres indbyrdes opgør.

Semifinaler

Semifinalerne var begge et opgør mellem en rutineret stjerne og en ung, lovende spiller, der var i sin første grand slam-semifinale, og det de rutinerede spillere gjorde begge kort proces og spillede sig nemt videre til finalen. I den første semifinale fortsatte Rafael Nadal (2) sit meget overbevisende spil og vandt sin sjette kamp i træk med 3-0 i sæt, da han besejrede Stefanos Tsitsipas (14) med 6-2, 6-4, 6-0 på en time og 46 minutter, mens Novak Djokovic arbejdede endnu hurtigere i den anden kamp, hvor han blot brugte en time og 23 minutter på at vinde over Lucas Pouille (28) med 6-0, 6-2, 6-2 i en kamp, hvor han kun begik 5 uprovokerede fejl.

Nadal kvalificerede sig dermed til Australian Open-finalen for femte gang, efter at han tidligere havde vundet titlen i 2009 og tabt finalen i 2012, 2014 og 2017, mens Djokovic sikrede sig en finaleplads ved mesterskabet for syvende gang, idet han tidligere havde været i finalen i 2008, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2015 og 2016, samtlige gange med sejr som resultat.

Finale

Finalen var en gentagelse af Australian Open-finalen i 2012, der satte rekord som den længste grand slam-finale nogensinde med en varighed på 5 timer og 53 minutter, men Novak Djokovic og Rafael Nadal var denne gang kun på banen en blot en tredjedel af rekordfinalens længde, idet Djokovic på blot 2 timer og fire minutter udklasserede Nadal med 6-3, 6-2, 6-3. For anden kamp i træk var serberens antal af uprovokerede fejl under 10 (denne gang endte han på 9), og han beskrev det selv efterfælgende som "en perfekt kamp".

Det var første gang, at Rafael Nadal måtte forlade banen efter en grand slam-finale uden at have vundet et sæt.

Lentil Cottage Bake – It's about making food just that bit easier!
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Add a tin measure of lentils to a pan and add three cans of hot water, add the stock cube, garlic and cumin seeds. Bring to the boil and simmer for 45 minutes, until the lentils soften. Heat some oil in a pan and brown the onions, peppers and courgettes cook until softened, season and stir. Next add the tinned tomatoes, a splash of Worcester sauce and the dried mixed herbs. Simmer for 25 minutes. In a third pan boil the potatoes in some salted water until they start to break apart, drain and mash with the butter, stir in the leeks, cheese and peppers and set to one side. Mix together the lentils and tomato sauce and transfer to an ovenproof dish. Even out the lentils and top with mashed potato, add spoonfuls at a time, so the topping doesn't sink, even out with a fork and place in the for 45-50 minutes until the potato is crisp and turns a golden colour. Remove from the heat and serve. This dish can also be used to cook a batch and freeze.

An establishment of a company is the easiest in Canada. It results from the recently published World Bank report. It had three main criteria - the time, the number of official acts, and financial cost required for registering a new company. Canada was ranked first because the registration of a new company here lasts, on average, only three days, requiring only two official acts, and except of the administrative fee, there is not required any other financial contributions (ie. Fixed assets). Thus, entrepreneurs can start a company in Canada by simple operation on the Internet within a single day and then within two days they obtain VAT number from the Canada Revenue Agency. According to Canadian Statistics Agency, there were almost two million SMEs last year in a country with 36 million inhabitants. This figure, according to the Canadian definition, applies to businesses with less than 500 employees and sales, up to 50 million Canadian dollars a year.

The Blurry Line Between Magical Realism and Magical Thinking
Sanjena Sathian on the thin border between the unreal and the real
By Oliver Munday
Ishita Chordia; The Atlantic
Editor's Note: Read Sanjena Sathian's new short story, "The Missing Limousine."
"The Missing Limousine" is a new short story by Sanjena Sathian. To mark the story's publication in The Atlantic, Sathian and Oliver Munday, the design director of the magazine, discussed the story over email. Their conversation has been lightly edited for clarity.
Oliver Munday: Your story, "The Missing Limousine," has a central preoccupation that many readers may find familiar—the reality-television show The Bachelor. Can you talk a bit about the process of constructing the narrative around such a pop-culture phenomenon?
Sanjena Sathian: Among writers, there's a sense that pop culture weighs down "serious" art—like we're afraid of burdening our work with specific markers of the moment. But all art and thought is a product of its moment, whether we acknowledge it or not.
I decided to use the real show's name instead of constructing an alternate version that everyone would recognize as The Bachelor. I believe there's something specific, real, and grotesque about speaking directly to the "real thing." I thought about David Foster Wallace's choice to name Alex Trebek and Jeopardy in "Little Expressionless Animals" and Miranda July's choice to use the writer Madeleine L'Engle's name in "Making Love in 2003." In both cases, the characters are not actually Trebek or L'Engle; Wallace and July have memorable and wildly original aesthetics and their stories are strong enough not to break beneath the burden of pop culture. You're not tugged down into the actual underworld of low culture—you're carried by Wallace's and July's more complex gazes. I learned from those examples.
Munday: Avanti, the story's narrator, is in her early 20s and works at a salon owned by her brother in a Georgia strip mall. She's an ambivalent, slightly inscrutable character, and at times her deadpan voice obscures her actual beliefs. Why is it important for this story to be told in such a way?
Sathian: I think a lot about how magical realism and magical thinking are very linked—they straddle a thin border between the unreal and the real. I wrote "The Missing Limousine" when I was coming off of about three years of writing only magical realism or speculative fiction, including my first novel. That sense of reality's instability infused Avanti's voice. She aches for the world as it is to be different to such a degree that she begins to perceive it that way.
Most people would probably read the story's engine as Avanti's magical thinking rather than a magical conceit—it's about Avanti's belief in aliens, not aliens themselves. But if you're fully seduced by Avanti's thinking, you might read the story as magical realism. I'm into that blurriness.
Munday: "The Missing Limousine" takes its title from a fictional promo clip of The Bachelor, featuring a limo filled with Asian contestants that has seemingly disappeared into thin air. Avanti becomes obsessed with the mystery of its existence, which turns her into a bit of a conspiracy theorist. The clip also allows for an interrogation of several timely concerns: representation in media, cultural memory, and American identity. Where did the conceit of the clip originate?
Sathian: Because we only have this scrap of video—a teaser, not even from the official show—we think maybe there were going to be Asian Americans cast on the show. But maybe not. You can almost picture a room full of white execs going, "Wait, do we have enough 'diverse' people on the show?" and adding or subtracting contestants at the last minute—vanishing them, and their future careers as Instagram influencers, in an instant! We'll never know what happened to wipe these people out of the narrative of the show (and therefore out of Avanti's universe), so the story is forced to accept mystery. And Avanti's inability to live with mysterious forces is part of the pain that guides the story's aim.
Munday: Last April, you published your debut novel, Gold Diggers, which is also partly set in greater Atlanta and follows a young protagonist. How does "The Missing Limousine" compare with the novel, and your work more broadly?
Sathian: I wrote "The Missing Limousine" when I was finishing a first draft of Gold Diggers, so I was deep in the landscape of the bleak Atlanta suburbs where I grew up. Those are really fun places to write, because they're such non-places. Cul-de-sac cookie-cutter homes, strip malls, highways—these geographies just beg to be filled in, and growing up, I filled those places in with a kind of raw desire. I just wanted a very abstract sense of more. In Gold Diggers, that more manifests in the ambition of Asian American teenagers who want to get into the best colleges, and whose entire sense of self rides on their achievement. (There's also actual desire in the form of a love interest.) In "The Missing Limousine," that more is the lust to be seen, known, witnessed—romantically and sexually and spiritually.
Both the novel and this story—and a lot of my work so far—are interested in the many ways we do and don't feel at home in the world. Sometimes feeling at home has to do with race, racism, ethnicity, migration, and myriad other material forces. But it also has to do with the immaterial and spiritual. In all my work, I'm interested in locating the abstract in the concrete.
Munday: Avanti starts dating Harry, a client at the salon, and the two spend nights watching The Bachelor together. As a result, the show's romantic aspirations begin to compete with Avanti's own notions of real-life romance. What is Avanti hoping to find in The Bachelor's depiction of love?
Sathian: She wants to be consumed by something outside herself. She falls into The Bachelor (and its franchises) the way a lot of us do—unthinkingly, just binge-watching this stuff until our eyes hurt. She sort of loves the obliteration of that experience.
Aside from that, she desires the clarity and neatness of the way "love" is depicted on The Bachelor. People on that show pitch an absurd and also completely American story of what love is and means—it's the climax and completion of a self. It's the most important thing you can find.
And lastly, she wants to feel narratively recognized the way the people on The Bachelor are recognized. These days, those people become influencers and monetize their profiles. They're on the covers of tabloids and they get to go on talk shows and people see themselves in their "love" stories. (We do this with all celebrities, but the people on The Bachelor are unique because they're only known for their "love" stories—not for the movies or music they make.) Avanti wants other people—her brother, but also America itself—to look at her and acknowledge that her desires, which feel enormous to her, are real and beautiful and deserve to be fulfilled.
Munday: Had you already been a fan of The Bachelor? How did the writing of this story affect your connection to the show?
Sathian: I have watched the show and its spin-offs on and off since I was a teenager. I've always found it completely fascinating. I grew up in an immigrant community in which dating was sometimes cast as weird and Western and not totally okay. I came to understand America through shitty 2000s movies and reality TV. (Also books, but whatever.) The Bachelor is like mainstream America's Platonic ideal for what love and romance is, and the institution itself changes as America's ideas of love and romance change. A huge variety of people watch it—Republican, Democrat, ultra-rich, working class—and it sometimes becomes an unlikely place where distinct cultures collide. Racism, slut-shaming, sex positivity—all of it comes up on and in the vicinity of The Bachelor and what the franchise calls "Bachelor Nation."
After writing "The Missing Limousine," I stopped watching for a while, maybe because I thought I'd gotten all my feelings about the franchise out. Also, the show has just done some awful things around race and I felt like watching it was probably unethical. But my ethics are evidently flaky, because I started watching Bachelor in Paradise—a genius work of trash. In a case of life imitating art, I recently spent an hour in a salon having a conversation with another woman of color about race in Bachelor Nation, and I was kind of moved. It felt like we had a way to discuss very private experiences we hadn't necessarily had occasion to talk about otherwise. Also, it got me around small talk.

Learn how to use this book and accompanying worksheets to review and assess your current HR practices and bring them into alignment with federal requirements and standards of best practice.
Most organizations focus primarily on steps three and four, with some focus on step five. Learn how to implement all five steps to support your school's goals.
Understanding fiduciary responsibilities: Plan sponsors must understand their roles and responsibilities under ERISA to obtain tax benefits of sponsoring a qualified retirement plan, to help employees prepare for retirement, and to limit liability associated with fiduciary status. This session is designed to educate plan sponsors, plan fiduciaries and committee members on the following topics: compliance framework for employee benefit plans, what and who is a fiduciary, basic fiduciary duties, fee disclosure, delegation of responsibilities, settlor versus fiduciary acts, limiting liability, prohibited transactions, correction programs, action steps and resources. Join the discussion and receive a fiduciary training certificate.
Morale, momentum, relationships and belief in school leadership all suffer when schools make poor hiring decisions. The Children's School is no different, and some early hiring mistakes in our head's tenure adversely impacted the community's faith in his ability to execute. We bounced back quickly using care and intention in hiring. We went outside the industry to learn from and apply best practices used in many Fortune 100 companies. This presentation details why and how we changed, and the benefits to our community of taking a more scientific and disciplined approach to hiring.
When it is time to part ways with an employee, investigate misconduct — or worse —defend a lawsuit, will you have and know where to find critical records (in print or electronic format)? Your school could face significant consequences if records are incomplete or missing. The business office is central to ensuring that document management systems are implemented and updated as technology evolves. Experienced attorneys guide you through safeguarding and managing records like faculty evaluations, documentation of performance discussions, records of complaints, and more, so that your school can address inquiries in a timely manner and defend itself when necessary.

Unconscious biases can happen at every stage of the employment life cycle. Discuss the various forms of unconscious biases and identify how individuals develop them. Explore the organizational risks that are associated when individual biases are present and not addressed in the workplace. Learn change management strategies that can help schools strengthen their culture and overcome these biases.
In surfer terms, we are amped! Hear from schools riding the new faculty compensation wave after moving from a traditional salary scale to a progression of accomplishments, or "bands," based on mission-appropriate and student-aligned contributions. Find out the top questions leading administrators asked when implementing a new faculty band system and learn how to respond when school leadership or faculty inquire. Leave the session feeling prepared to ride this wave successfully and roll-out a customized, well-communicated faculty compensation system. Akaw!
Many states have recently passed laws expanding protections to eradicate pay differentials based on gender and other protected characteristics. Complying with these laws can be challenging for independent schools. Experienced school counsel offer guidance on and lessons learned from complying with new pay equity laws, conducting related pay equity audits, and the laws' impact on independent schools.
Independent schools are not all the same, and human resources challenges and opportunities can vary wildly. This session is designed to provide an opportunity for individuals managing human resource functions to join roundtable discussions with other HR professionals from similar types of schools. Groups examine differences and commonalities of individual roles and school communities. The discussions allow for unscripted conversation, shared experiences and learning from each other's successes and failures. Explore how other schools handle many of the same challenges you face.
School officials often avoid effective performance management because they do not want to have those awkward discussions. This puts officials in a difficult position when messaging to their community, and legally, when they decide not to renew or to terminate a teacher or administrator. This session takes the mystery out of performance management and provides methods that enable those communications to be productive to both the school and the employee. Discuss both the practical and legal steps involved in reviewing employee performance and learn how to best handle those tricky situations.
Come Work for Us: Employment Contract or Offer Letter?

Discuss common issues that arise with regard to offer letters/employment agreements (i.e., claims of breach of contract, difficulty in terminating an employee, revocation of agreements, etc.) and strategies for schools in proactively structuring their agreements to manage such risks.
The alphabet soup of leave laws can leave the most seasoned HR professional and legal counsel confused and intimidated. Join fellow HR colleagues in a hands-on workshop in which participants examine and resolve a variety of leave law situations. Explore how leave laws intersect, examine various solutions and learn the necessary steps to ensure compliance and fair treatment for all employees. The focus will be on federal leave laws; however, participants will be encouraged to team with colleagues from the same state in order to examine local and state leave laws.
How does a school achieve full 403(b) compliance and deliver a critical benefit without adding to cost or management time requirements, and without having to abandon the investment funds familiar to faculty and staff? Learn about a solution that can improve the process, reduce school and employee costs, and mitigate risk to the school and the plan fiduciaries, all delivered through one dedicated, multi-disciplined service team for all plan needs, including account management, third-party investment advisory services, ERISA legal support, and education specialists who counsel employees, along with the completion of signature-ready Form 5500s and annual audit packages.
Workplace wellness programs typically focus on alleviating stress in the mind and body, but did you know financial concerns are actually the number one cause of workplace stress? Hear from schools who have used SunTrust's financial educational curriculum, "The 8 Pillars of Financial Greatness," to mitigate that stressor for school employees. The program was designed to provide employees with the inspiration, education and tools to manage their money based on what's most important to them. The highly engaging curriculum uses gamification, videos, activities, infographics, articles and calculators.
Ever have difficult conversations with employees? Or maybe you avoid discussing a specific situation with an employee because you knew he or she didn't mean it? How about not addressing something with an employee because you aren't going to renew his or her contract at the end of the year? It's never easy, but with a few tips and best practices you can get through any difficult conversation smoothly. Review three to four peer school scenarios and a identify a list of best practices to take back to school.

Student loan debt is a problem affecting more than 40 million professionals in the United States. Why does this matter to schools? Because educators are disproportionately burdened by student loans. The average graduate of a master's in education degree finishes with more than $50,000 in debt — $8,000 more than the debt of a typical MBA graduate. Explore how schools are uniquely impacted by this issue and look at opportunities to engage and empower your faculty through new benefits that promote financial wellness.
Gender pay disparities have become a hot issue. Many states (and even a few cities) have passed laws addressing pay equity. Examine how federal and state laws are addressing gender pay disparity, including equal work versus comparable work, the permissible factors for pay differences, and pay transparency requirements. This session addresses state laws that prohibit requests for salary history in the hiring process and state laws that encourage employers to conduct pay equity audits. Find out how independent schools can navigate this complicated and emerging area of law.
HSAs and their triple tax benefit are being underutilized when planning for retirement. Coupled with your school's 403(b)/401(k) plan, HSAs can offer increased savings while reducing tax liabilities in retirement.
It is a well-known fact that women, on average, earn less than men. One of the ways we can help to close the pay gap is by learning to negotiate for ourselves in the workplace. Women are more likely to accept the first salary offer and rarely negotiate their pay and benefits. Learn how to negotiate a salary offer, and how to ask for promotions and raises.

What a great night at the Jalopy in Brooklyn on June 16, 2016 as my new trio with Lauren Brody and Jake Shulman-Ment stepped out to strut our stuff! Many languages, many musical cultures, and great joy in blending our voices and instruments.
In the beautiful summer landscape of Rindge, New Hampshire, I was privileged to teach traditional Jewish papercut arts at the annual National Havurah Committee's Summer Institute. We turned a large, sunny room into an art studio, and the class burst into enthusiastic art creation. I love the celebratory greeting of everyone's creations as skills and appreciation deepen over four days of classes. I'll come to you! Just ask!
Back to the Catskills, this time teaching for HAZAK, a group under the umbrella of United Synagogue that offers among its programs an annual summer week of learning and camaraderie. I used my lecture/recital format to widen the world of Yiddish song for about 150 life-long learners as we studied, laughed, sang a bit, and grew to know one another in Kerhonkson, NY.
When Nancy Spielberg screened her film Above and Beyond in Harrisburg's Chisuk Emuna Congregation, I was tapped to create a papercut gift for her. I chose the color scheme of her promotional material and the Hebrew words which translate into "Be strong... and strengthen one another." The filmmaker and I are shown here. (photo by Josh Damrauer)
Each year the myriad of faith communities in the Harrisburg region come together to celebrate in song. Here's an image of my participation, sharing the beauty of Yiddish song at the Pine Street Presbyterian Church.
One of three children's programs to wind up a hectic and marvelous Scholar in Residence program at Congregation Beth El in Fairfield, CT. Lectures, singing programs, explorations of Yiddishkayt - and a debut concert of the new Leviton/Brody duo in concert! I'll happily come to your community, too!
Yiddish Culture on St. Croix! I received the warmest welcome all across the island where I had the opportunities to teach a vocal arts class in a school, offer an adult papercutting workshop, lecture in the synagogue, and get the whole audience at the Reformed Church singing along in multiple languages! Cultural seeds planted and the smiles, voices, and hugs still linger in memory!
The Judson Church off Washington Square was packed with well over 300 people on December 30, 2014, to honor the memory and brilliance of Adrienne Cooper, and to award Michael Wex with this year's Dreaming in Yiddish prize. Below is an image of the finale of the musical performance of the Kanonen song from Brecht and Weill's Threepenny Opera, translated from the German into Yiddish by Wex himself. An all-star band backed us as we belted out the Army Song and others, accompanied by the brilliant puppetry and staging of Great Small Works and Power Point translations which made the text a little less inscrutable! What a night! Singers below include Sarah Gordon, Eleanor Reissa, Tine Kindermann, Dan Kahn, myself, and others.
A whirlwind arts week in Caldwell, NJ at Congregation Agudath Israel allowed me to open Jewish folk arts to energetic groups from preschoolers through elders. The tots sang and acted out Yiddish songs with costumes and props, the school students (4 larger groups) explored paper arts and traditional papercutting, and adults were treated to a series of lecture recitals, everything taking place in a large space where I hung over 35 works of framed art. What a fabulous arts residency for all of us together!
Nearly 100 people attended a lecture/recital stitching together I. B. Singer's writing and the artists who illustrated his books as Susan sang her way through the bookshelves, Sunday, November 16, at Chisuk Emuna Congregation in Harrisburg, PA. This was the second event in the year's programming under a grant from the Koster Foundation.
I was guest lecturer at Dickinson College today, October 6, singing my way through a program on Jews and Food. Unlike the light weight singalongs I often do on this topic, the class took food songs into the framework of Hasia Diner's examination of the place of food in Jewish life in the Pale of Settlement through acculturation in America. 15 songs unpacked! A great eye-opening experience for all!
Heeding God's Call is a national organization working at a grassroots level to end gun violence and straw buying. On September 18, within days of two gun murders in Harrisburg, I participated in an interfaith program at the MLK Baptist Church in the heart of our city. We 'sang' Reisen's Dos Naye Lid together as the assembled crowd held colored cards with words in Yiddish and English.
A happy bride at the huppah with her papercut ketubah! 'Tis the season, and I've been busy with commissions of all sorts!
A full week of learning and teaching at the Havurah Summer Institute was a welcome experience again this year. Located at Franklin Pierce College in New Hampshire, about 300 Havurahniks from infancy to elder sage-age filled days and nights with enthusiastic work, food, music, and exploration. I taught classes in Yiddish song and helped create a soundscape for Tisha B'Av this summer. Loved it!!!
A lovely way to begin the summer's KlezKamp's Wisconsin adventure was a solo concert at Chai Point in Milwaukee. Jill Gellerman and were welcomed to the beautiful facility and then I sang for and with a great crowd of elders, eager to be part of the action!
Quite a surprise when I met the truck from Welch Signage in Maine, carrying the massive synagogue feature wall I had designed, to see a piece of my own artwork prominently displayed on both sides of the vehicle!
I performed for over 100 people at beautiful Maris Grove in Pennsylvania's Delaware County on May 13. As part of the PA Humanities Council's program of Commonwealth Speakers, I was able to bring the sound of Yiddish to an audience largely unfamiliar with the language and culture. As always, common threads were immediately found!
Verrry busy these days creating a synagogue feature wall, but I took time last week to be interviewed for Ted Merwin's article "The Aesthetics of Judaism" in The New York Jewish Week. Here's a quote: "For Susan Leviton, a ketubah-maker, paper-cut artist and Yiddish folk song performer ..., it was during the 1960s and '70s, when many Jews flocked back to their roots, that Jews... 'took Judaism back into their own hands' and began braiding challahs and tie-dying prayer shawls. Hiddur mitzvah 'alters us as we fulfill a mitzvah or perform a ritual,' she told me. A Midrash (Song of Songs Rabbah 1.15) suggests that observance of the commandments makes Jews beautiful, even as Jews glorify God through hiddur mitzvot."
An outpouring of love and creativity filled the room as we honored the memory of Adrienne Cooper and saw Jenny Romaine accept the first Dreaming in Yiddish award for her visionary work. Here's Susan on stage with Alicia Svigals, Jake Shulman-Ment, Benjy Fox Rosen, Aaron Alexander, Michael Winograd, and Dan Blacksberg, 12/21/13. (Photo by Bob Blacksberg)
When Goucher College Hillel welcomed a gift of two Torah scrolls, I was honored to craft mantles and wimples. So much silk! Garnet polished to look like pomegranate seeds! Text and the visions of students to work with! A grand experience.
A totally spectacular group of artists, writers, social activists, and even puppeteers joined me for a week of creative work as I served as Artist in Residence at the 2013 National Havurah Conference Summer Institute in Rindge, NH. In 4 days of intense collective learning and creating, we built a musical theater production in a box (a cranky) and shared the story of the plight of needleworkers, past and present, with 300 others in a rapt audience!
It was a beautiful day in Baltimore as the Jewish Museum of Maryland presented its annual Risch Memorial Program. I was delighted to be the featured performer, following brief, powerful presentations by Andres Salguero, Ssuuna, and the DC Turkish Folk Music Group. It always touches me to rediscover the points of connection among immigrant communities, regardless of geographic homes, cultures, and reasons for relocation. A brilliant celebration of cultures!
Over 350 pieces of beautiful Youghiogheny Art Glass hand-cut, and now I'm on to wet-grinding the edges! It's a new skill that I'm happy to add to my resume as I take on the responsibility to create a soaring double wall of glass above the Torah ark for Chisuk Emuna Congregation in Harrisburg, building anew after a destructive fire in 2009. Check back in mid-May for a look at the completed wall!
Getting closer to a new recording! Michael Winograd spent a day in the studio on March 28 with Frank London, Dan Blacksberg, Hadar Noiberg, and Alec Speigelman to lay down horn tracks for my as-yet-unnamed CD. Dan Kahn joined in as a special guest vocalist. Next will come strings and soon after that the mixing and mastering, printing and artwork, and OT AZOY! A new Yiddish recording!
A whirl of creative activity has sent me to the sewing machine to craft two Torah mantles for Goucher College Hillel. One of the scrolls is a rescued Torah from Czechoslovakia, so armed with a palette of palest greys, golds, silvers, and ivories, I headed to Chinatown in NYC on a rainy day to seek silks! What a delight to discover Belraf Fabrics, owned by an Uzbeki couple. A trip around the world in fabric! Take a peek here are the first days' construction.
I'll be guest lecturing at Dickinson College in Professor Ted Merwin's class during the week that we commemorate the 102nd anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire. My program on the fire in words and Yiddish song continues to grow as I learn, and to sadly resonate as we all ponder how little has changed in global workplace safely in the last century. See "Upcoming Events" for details.
Each year as KlezKamp ends, I proclaim, "This was the best ever!" And every year I mean it. And this year I mean it more! The staff concert nearly lifted the roof off what had been, in its glory days The Granite Hotel in the Catskills. My classes (traditional papercutting and "Our Lives are in our Songs") were filled with curious, thoughtful participants who challenged one another to take each idea to a new level. What an experience. Do not miss this next December!! (sneak peek? Check out the KlezKamp post under Upcoming Events for a video clip!)
December 22, 2012. Kaye Theater in Manhattan. I soared on the energy of dozens of the finest performers of Yiddish song and Klezmer as we paid tribute to Adrienne Cooper's memory in a three-hour concert of the songs she most loved. What a thrill to sing 'Di Arbuzn' a cappella, in three parts with women performers including Alicia Svigals, Lauren Brody, Shura Lipovsky, and Marsha Gildin. It was both a humbling and energizing evening. Sing out!
I've just been selected as one of ten 2013 Guild of American Papercutters/X-acto Masters. This means over the course of the coming year I will be testing tools and materials and interacting with other artists to hone our skills and increase interest in papercutting arts. Very exciting!
Are you aware of the Commonwealth Speakers program under the PA Humanities Commission? Every two years, a roster of artists, story-tellers, historians, and musicians selected by the PHC are able to travel the state offering specific programs at no cost to groups (schools, libraries, state parks, etc.!) other than a basic application fee. I just returned from Ohev Sholom in Williamsport and will head to Reading on Thursday to bring Women's Voices in Yiddish Song to the Federation's Friendship Circle there. Visit the website at www.pahumanities.org and check it out! Free programming! What are you waiting for???
It's been a long time coming, but here I am, immersed in the joy of working in collaboration with brilliant musicians as I prepare a new recording! Production is in the fine hands of Michael Winograd, and the initial tracks have been laid down with David Licht, Jake Shulman-Ment, Carmen Staaf, Garth Stevenson, and Avi Fox-Rosen, with Lauren Brody and others joining in soon! Hmm... mostly Yiddish, with some surprises mixed in, and everything from spare acoustic accompaniment to over-the-top orchestrations. There'll be more and more about the project as it emerges from its infancy, so watch for news! Perhaps a concert or cd release party in your neighborhood down the line...
Kesher Zion Congregation in Reading, PA welcomed me as artist-in-residence for the weekend of November 9, 2012, as the congregation honored the memories of Dr. Robert Greenberg and Evelyn Blumberg. I was delighted to find myself in the company of the congregation's brilliant Rabbi Minna Bromberg and rooms full of enthusiastic people hungry to experience new 'takes' on Jewish culture. My programming included a presentation of Yiddish songs of spiritual yearning, a lecture on contemporary Jewish ritual art, and then a rollicking concert on Saturday night with the newly expanded Old World Folk Band! Be sure to check the "Upcoming Events" tab to see where else I'm scheduled to spread YIddish culture!
I can't say enough about the wonderful Tree of Life Congregation in MORGANTOWN, WEST VIRGINIA, where I just spent a weekend as scholar in residence. If you go to my 'coming events' tab, you may see the whole arc of the weekend, but I want to focus here on the response to my "Rage Against the Sewing Machine" presentation on Saturday night, October 27. Among the folks in attendance were physicians, attorneys, and workplace safety experts who each added to a passionate conversation about the effects of completely unregulated natural gas extraction on West Virginians, coal miners' safety issues, and even the plight of disabled people in sheltered workshops who, like the needle workers of 100 years ago, are largely groups without a voice. 'The more things change, the more they stay the same.' And yet we still find inspiration to act for social justice when we learn and sing the songs of our forebears. "Give us bread and give us roses!"
A radio interview for a BALTIMORE station (WVIE 1370) allowed me to share some insights into the history of labor activism in the United States on September 2, 2012 - Labor Day weekend. So much more meaningful than running to sporting goods stores for sale items, this was a chance to engage listeners in anthemic Yiddish songs and their contexts. So many songs... so little time! But every time a Yiddish song is SUNG, it lives a new life.
It's late summer, so a trip to the BLOCK AND HEXTER VACATION CENTER in Poyntelle, PA came around on my calendar. My teaching schedule allowed me to alternate sessions with fellow presenter Saul Silas Fahti, as we worked to expand the artistic, musical, polititcal, and in Saul's case, even cosmological horizons of the elders who flocked to the Poconos to participate, learn, and (it's a Jewish camp!) eat 3 squares a day. Whether singing, lecturing, or engaging in issues, I always learn from interactions with program participants. One highlight this year was meeting two Hungarian-born sisters who offered me a macaronic (mixed language) song that alternates lines between Hungarian and German/Yiddish. Will it make the cut on my upcoming recording? Stay tuned!
A quick trip to MADISON, WISCONSIN as part of "A Bisele KlezKamp" on July 22 was a terrific bright spot in a busy summer season! Over 200 people buzzed around programming by some of the best teacher/artists in the Yiddish folk arts world as Michael Wex, Cookie Segelstein, Lauren Brody, Henry Sapoznik, Sherry Mayrent, Miriam Isaacs, David Spies, Sara Gordon, Kurt Bjorling, Steve Weintraub, and I managed to compress a week's worth of learning into one fabulous day. Keep up-to-date with U. OF WISCONSIN'S MAYRENT CENTER to find out what Yiddish programming will be offered throughout the year before our triumphant return next summer!
On Friday night prior to 'ABKK' I was hosted by Congregation Shaarei Shomayim where I presented an a cappella lecture/recital titled "Healing the World in Yiddish Song." Given the political upheavals and charged emotions in Madison these days, the program was a welcome one. The room was packed with people of all ages, and it was a special joy to me to be singing in a room within Frank Lloyd Wright's historic Unitarian Church, where the congregation meets regularly.
Lauren Brody and I head to PITTSBURGH on June 3 for two concerts, a family event in the morning, and a full concert in the late afternoon at the JCC, in conjunction with the Jewish Museum's exhibit on the artists who illustrated the works of I.B. Singer. We're working up new material and are delighted that both PennPAT and the PA Humanities Council are supporting the program with generous grants. Come celebrate Yiddish culture!
Healing the World in Yiddish - This lecture/recital program drew people from a wide variety of backgrounds and ages to a program sponsored but DICKINSON COLLEGE, the Literary Heritage Fund, Association for Jewish Studies, and the Jewish Federation of Greater Harrisburg on April 24. With PowerPoint translations and even a visit from Dan Kahn and the Painted Bird on screen, we explored the drive for human rights that infuses Yiddish song, and the activism that the songs inspire. As part of a series titled "Telling Jewish Stories through the Arts," the evening's riches were obvious as participants lingered over tea and cake and shared the stories that bubbled up in response to the presentation. What a great night!
On Sunday, April 1, the Jewish Federation of Greater DAYTON and the Lynda A. Cohen Yiddish Club welcomed Lauren Brody and me for a concert. It was the first time that Lauren and I had the opportunity to present a full concert and we felt like siblings on the stage, finding parallel expressions of meaning and intention in her accordion and my voice without even a nod or a word. Utilizing the full range of her instrument, Lauren crafted a unique setting for each song, and the 'whole cloth' was fantastic.
We're already warming up for an upcoming event in June, so stay tuned for details!!
MAURICE SENDAK! I write this on the day of Maurice Sendak's passing. (If you haven't heard both the recent Fresh Air interview and the hilarious pair of Colbert interviews with the incomparable Mr. Sendak, go find them NOW and come back here in an hour...) I am grateful and humbled to have had the opportunity to spend several months immersed in the life and work of Mr. Sendak, preparing for a program built around the Rosenbach's exhibit of the influences of his Jewish world on his life's work. So on Sunday, April 15, the Haverford Public Library swelled with the sounds of Klezmer as I took over the children's wing of the library to present "Yiddish in the Nutshell" with Ken Ulansey on clarinet and Heath Allen on keyboard. Sendak's early life in a Yiddish-speaking immigrant neighborhood in Brooklyn, the awareness of evil in the world, and the fears and bravery of children shaped much of his life's work, and I blended his personal life into songs and stories for a rollicking hour. The program was interactive, with sing-alongs, props, costumes, and wild Sendakian tales abounding. It was a Yiddishe Vilde 'Rumpus' for everyone's inner child! Pick up a book by Maurice Sendak and look deeply into it. You may be changed!
LAFAYETTE COLLEGE Hillel hosted me on Tuesday night, March 20 for a program in song and story on the actual history of the Sarajevo Hagaddah. It was a real one-woman show as I demonstrated design, lettering, and gilding techniques of the centuries-old masterpiece, as well as recounted its improbable story interspersed with songs in the Sarajevo dialect of Judeo-Spanish, in Yiddish, and in Hebrew, along with a Moroccan chant - all related to the Hagaddah. The audience included students, college faculty, and local residents, and there was a lively Q and A at the conclusion of the program. Lafayette has a gorgeous old campus perched above the city of Easton at the confluence of the Delaware and Raritan rivers. I hope to return!
LAUREN BRODY will join me in presenting a full concert in Dayton, Ohio on Sunday, April 1 for the annual event honoring the memory of Lynda A. Cohen. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to share the stage and have been working up two terrific sets for the Yiddish club and expected gathered throngs!
A presentation of my concert "Women's Voices in Yiddish Song" at Penn State University in Middletown, PA on February 23 drew people from Lancaster, York, Lebanon, and the greater Harrisburg area. Having been interviewed for an upcoming article in a Dayton, Ohio paper the night before, I kept thinking during the concert of a particular question I was asked: "What do you want people to take away from your performance?" So I'll tell you: I want people to be so surprised and touched that they come away with a desire to dig a little deeper into Yiddish culture and discover something about themselves. The values and history that are packed into our songs go far in teaching us how to know ourselves if we just open our hearts a bit. That's why I sing. Oh, and also, I sing because I can't NOT sing!!
Only a week to go before Kerhonkson, NY becomes the temporary capital of Yiddishland! This year at KlezKamp I'll be teaching the hands-on papercutting course and a four-session a capella lecture/recital course.
I'm especially looking forward to the time I'll be carving out with fellow PennPAT artist SUSAN WATTS to work on some vocal duets and arrangements, and to begin taking concrete steps towards my NEW RECORDING, which will be produced by the amazing MICHAEL WINOGRAD! Check this website regularly for announcements, too, of a new duo in the works featuring MICHAEL WEX and Susan Leviton. Use your imagination for now - details to follow soon!
On Sunday, November 20, 2011, I presented a "Conversation with the Artist" in conjunction with the "Making it Better: Folk Art in Pennsylvania Today" exhibit in which one of my papercuts is featured. I demonstrated the art of Jewish papercutting and shared insights into its history and contemporary expressions with about 30 museum-goers. On exhibit through April 29, 2012, Making It Better tells the stories of over 30 master artists whose works represent a wide array of traditions such as African dance, stone wall construction, Native American clay flutes, Pysanky eggs, contemporary blacksmith work, woodcarving, and Vietnamese funerary portraits. I'm honored to have been chosen to have my work represented among so many brilliant examples of folk arts.
Groundbreaking for Chisuk Emuna Congregation's new synagogue took place in Harrisburg on Sunday, October 16, 2011, and over 350 people celebrated with a block party that featured kugel in a sukkah, carnival food, games and abundant crafts for children, and an afternoon of outstanding music: klezmer, jazz, and old-timey. Bands set up on a concrete pad at one end of the soon-to-be-a-shul property, and music filled the air! I had the pleasure of singing once again with the Old World Folk Band, which has recently welcomed several new musicians as regulars, and which added additional guest performers for the outdoor event.
The synagogue was destroyed by an accidental fire in 2009, and more recently was left homeless when The Flood of 2011 forced the congregation from temporary quarters in the JCC. The sense that the next plague was waiting in the wings was banished by the wonderful welcome to a new neighbrhood, and it looks like the block party may become an annual event!
A whirlwind few days at the 14th annual IAYC (International Association of Yiddish Clubs) conference in Novi, Michigan offered me the opportunity to perform and teach, and to meet people from all over the country who gathered to celebrate Yiddish culture. Highlights for me were presenting my powerful lecure/recital, "Rage Against the Sewing Machine" in this 100th anniversary year following the Triangle Fire, and joining Dan Kahn on the bandstand following my solo concert.

For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me…Matthews 25:34-36.
