ELIZA BLANK: My father is from Great Neck. My grandmother, is from Far Rockaway. She’s 93. My grandfather is from Bensonhurst. That’s the Jewish side of my family. My mother is from the Philippines, as are her parents. My mother came over when she was in her early twenties on a nurse exchange program. She had no intention of staying, so she went back home, but then she did a second tour inspired by a friend who signed her up for a program in Brooklyn. My parents met at Downstate Hospital in Brooklyn and they still think New York is super dangerous. It’s just me and my brother. That’s my family. My mother converted. Somewhere along the way, it was spoken that it was important. She grew up Catholic, but I don’t think it was ever something she felt very passionate about. She was happy to convert. I think there’s a very special bond between Asians and Jews as it is, religion aside.


ELIZA BLANK: I was 21 when I met Steve, so we’ve been together my entire adult life. It just feels natural to me. I know who’s going to take care of me when I get old, and I don’t have to worry about Tinder. When Steve and I met, I didn’t even have a text plan. I had a flip phone. He actually called me. It was back in the day when you’d be on the phone with someone and you’d talk for an hour, which was so fantastic. I don’t think anything about marriage has totally surprised me. We knew that we wanted the same things and had the same values and, interestingly enough, he has the same background where his father is Jewish and his mother converted. Everybody I know is like that. It’s been nice because Steve does identify with the same level of Judaism that I do. We didn’t have a rabbi marry us, but we signed a ketubah, which was very modern and contemporary and not traditional at all. We plan to raise our kids Jewish.

DAVID KUNIN: Changing Jewish demographics across North America are causing some small synagogues to close their doors. As these synagogues shut down, their leaders, dedicating themselves to tikkun olam [repair of our world] and Jewish continuity, have chosen to give their Torah scrolls a new beginning and a way to continue to speak. Where once their voices were a light unto Alberta and Pennsylvania, that light now will shine in Indonesia.

MARK KRAMER: My first laugh without a father was one of my most memorable. It reminded me that no matter how bad things get, there is always laughter. My dad knew that secret.
