Up close and personal with some famous Jr. personalities
City: Golders Green, London
Favorite nosh: Blue sour sticks
First Jr. article: Weekly Wisdom for parshas Vayetzei last year… I was amazed how Rachelli David (Weekly Wisdom’s amazing illustrator) brought my writing to life in such a cute way. Look and see how each detail is added in!
Memorable experience as a Jr. writer: It’s always fun for my family, friends, and students (shout-out to all my favorite pupils at Bais Yaakov!) when they see their names in the column. Once I had to confiscate an issue of Jr. from a student who was reading in class… I’m sure you can guess which page she was reading, though!
Something you learned from writing for Jr.: Any topic can be interesting when written the right way!

First Jr. article: When I was 18, I interviewed Ed Bernstein z”l for Mishpacha. Later, I wrote a story serial for Jr. called “Under Lock and Key,” about two adventure-seeking cousins racing around the globe with their Zeidy, chasing a treasure hidden during World War II. Jr. editor Libby Tescher then asked me to record a story for the hotline, and my wife encouraged me to continue making audio stories. All that led to Y.B. Production, a company that produces top-quality children’s audio stories (the third and newest one coming out soon).
