Welcome to the Mima’amakim Forums! The forums are a place for those interested in Jewish art to meet and collaborate.

The spring is teasing and budding and so much is happening on the gig
front!

Firstly, I recorded a Passover Jazz Poetry special for the Forward –
two videos and some ramblings – check out http://www.forward.com/articles/126922/.

This Sunday April 4th at 11 AM (!) I’ll be making a guest appearance
at the jazz-klez gig of the Talat Band at the City Winery. Can you
imagine? Roll outta the bed. Eat some matza. Go hear jazz and poetry.
It’s true! http://www.citywinery.com/events/61034.

Monday April 12th, 8.30pm I will be doing a performance poetry gig
with Matthue Roth and Vanessa “Hebrew Mamita” Hidary at the arty
basement of the arty Sixth Street Synagogue. Should be superfun.

Monday April 26th, in the same arty basement, Samuel Menashe and
Stanley Moss, two fabulous poets, will read their work. I’ll
facilitate a panel afterwards on their personal Jewish poetics. Come
loaded! (with questions).

Oh and I kinda have a website now… http://jakemarmer.wordpress.com.
Work in progress. As we’re all – work in progress – and a piece of
work, at that!
