BROOKLYN ALERT!! My birth home,  a place where my earliest roots tangle up with long sweeping skirts, elevated trains, and  Amnon's pizza, I am being inducted into the Brooklyn Jewish Hall of Fame On December 11 at 12:00 noon at the historic Courtroom Brooklyn Borough Hall. I'm humbled to stand with 6 new inductees and in the glow of past  luminaries who's humor, song, wisdom, service, has reached far beyond our borough, Ruth Bader Ginzburg, Mel Brooks, Fyvush Finkel, Sandy Koufax, Bruce Morrow, Mimi Sheraton, Andy Statman and Barbra Streisand.
