Welcome!

This newsletter follows the journeys of Lauren Stein, a Canadian improviser from Toronto and Guelph, on her move to Jerusalem.

Sometimes there’s fiction (magical realism is my favourite genre right now.) Sometimes non-fiction, covering travel adventures, bureaucratic mishaps, Jewish learnings, and other gems. Sometimes audio, but mostly text. (Possibly with video and/or photo journalism in the future.)

How can I enjoy these in the future?

You can read these online without any commitment. You can also comment on any article, and/or click the heart (<3) at the top to show some appreciation. You can also subscribe for free to get notified when I make a new post.

If you want to support my writing and my adventures, which is what I most recommend, you can become a paying subscriber for only $7 Canadian a month. (About 18 shekels, less than the price of a falafel.) If you do so, you may get some super secret special surprises!
