Sissy Block is a writer, performer, and marketing professional living in New York City. She first experienced Limmud NY in 2007 when she came to perform Love and Israel…Collected Stories of an Enduring Romance, the monologues show she co-created/co-produced. Due to rehearsals for an upcoming performance at Makor, Sissy and her Love and Israel “hevre” (group) arrived at Limmud NY only on Sunday. Sissy immediately wished she’d been there the whole time (“It felt like Israel”), and is happy to be back.

“What I Really Want to Do Is…”
How to Make a Living Doing What You Love
- Monday 11:20AM–12:35PM Sports Bar
This session is an interactive brainstorming exercise that will help you tap into what you really want to do for a living (or in your free time if your job pays the bills but leaves you wanting more). We’ll use the same brainstorming techniques that led Sissy to do “what she really wanted to do” — create a monologues show about different people’s personal relationships with Israel, and help others do what they love for a living. Come find out how to go after your dreams in 2008. If not now, when?
