     I totally agree Robyn... thank you for taking the time to join us on Sunday evening.. I am thinking about a short regrouping meeting mid to late January to see what can happen to easily support and regrow the connectivity of this important regional Jewish community. 

    Congratulations

     on your continued efforts to keep your Minneapolis community moving forward togeher... looking forward to connecting with you after the new year...

    Susan, I appreciate your willingness to join us in the planning of this event and to share your confidence in moving forward in a simple and easeful way... there may be some new wisdom in making things more meaningful by keeping them simple as we navigate all the changes and new ways forward... simple has a new allure... I look forward to more ease and enjoyment and community engagement as the future rapidly approaches Us.. hope the rest of your hannukah is simple and pleasurable.. I for one am enjoying all my deserved tiredness... just before the days begin lengthening again... chag Sameach.. and again thank you for your support... xbv

  In general I am a better starter than finisher... but it is very important to me that I take a few minutes to fully thank and acknowledge those who created and delivered the rich content for our brief and focused event. In the actual order of the event... Rabbit 

  Aggie Goldenholz

  , for her spiritual offering of the blessings for the Chanukah Candles as well as some words about light during this time of darkness (as well as a song) Thank you 

  Jody Hirsh

   for your beautiful visuals of menorahs meant to be hung on the outside of one's home... Your teachings have enriched so many of us over the years. It was great to relax into your teaching process again. Special Thanks to 

  Helene Fischman

   for guiding us in imagining and then sharing our own experience of appreciating. At least that is what I remember. (I have not had the chance to review the recording yet). So thanks again Helene for joining in on the planning and then facilitating a focused act of group social engagement.. And finally a big thanks to 

  Leslie Coff

   (Madison) who I have only known through her paintings shared her words in closing with us.. I am sorry that I cannot remember what she said.. but I do remember being taken with her reading and wanting more.. If there is any way you can reshare your words here.. I would enjoy reading them again...and thanks for the L'chaim (great idea).. So thank you ALL for MAKING THIS ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF MY 2020 CHANUKAH and kinda certain others as well. "May All Our Candles Continue to Burn Brightly" hope to see everyone in the New Year!

BEN WESTBROCK... early shows in New Haven

Hey Ben, wanted to let you how much you are thought about these days... xbev

To Ben's friends,

I met Ben in New Haven in 1981. We were in a show together called Visual Events in Various Spaces. This exhibit took place at the Hamilton Clockworks building sponsored by The Papier Mache Video Institute (PMVI).

That was the beginning of our friendship, we continued to work together on several more shows including the show talked about in this 3min film clip produced by the New Haven Museum and filmed by "WHAT WERE WE THINKING FILMS".

For so many of us who found comradery in our relationship with Ben, this adds one more historical piece to his early creative period in New Haven, CT.

Just recently I virtually ran into someone I did not know who had a strong positive creative connection to Ben. The moment was sweet and I am happy to be able to share how supportive and authentic Ben was to so many of us.

Thank you Ben for all the love and respect you showed us and all the caring you shared with us.

"The first show of 1984" involved a year of collaboration before it's one night only premiere..Ben was a core member of the group attending all the regular monthly and weekly meetings.. and beer and pizza afterparties... all love to you!
