Delia Bechmann
recently won a
14-weeklong open
mic competition at
the New Hudson
Inn. She won $1,000 for her per-
formance. She sang an original
song, a mashup and seven cover
songs, including Kenny Wayne
Shepherd’
s “Blue on Black” and
Johnny Cash’
s “Ring of Fire.”
The Cohn-Haddow Center for Judaic Studies
at Wayne State University announced that
Shoshana Applebaum (Farber Hebrew Day
School) and Lauren Schostak (Berkley High
School) are the winners of the 2018-2019 Jewish
Writing Competition, in which students submit
essays or poetry on any Jewish related topic.
Applebaum’
s poem, “Being a Jew in America,”
explores the pervasive anti-Semitism and
anti-Zionism in self-proclaimed safe spaces, including schools, social media
and LGBTQ+ pride parades, leading her to question whether these spaces,
including America itself, are safe for Jews to live openly as Jews in America.
Schostak’
s essay, “
A Once Blinded Jewish Woman,” explores her encounter
with the tension within the Women’
s March between feminism and Zionism
and poignantly describes her refusal to compromise between her identity as
a Jew and as a woman. Each will receive a cash prize of $500 for first place
from the center and will have their essays published in the anthology series
“Voices,” which features writings authored exclusively by high school stu-
dents.
