H ey Jr. Readers
Lucky me I’m privileged enough to have another conversation with Avi and this time as soon as I tell him we’re planning an issue for the Jr. Chanukah magazine he knows which topic he wants to discuss.
“Chanukah is a time when we all publicize the nissim that Hashem did for the Jews ” he says. “I want to talk about my decision to share my story and my life so publically.”
“That sounds perfect ” I say.
I’m sure many of you readers have marveled over how brave Avi and his family are for sharing their stories thoughts and personal lives with thousands of kids from around the world. Maybe you’ve wondered how he feels about being so famous or why he chose to open up about his life so publically. I know that as a writer who often uses pseudonyms I’ve marveled over Avi’s choice many times.
So now I ask him: “What made you decide to go so public with your story?”
