“Kosher Salt” is a solo show that I made in 2024. It’s 54 minutes long. You’ll laugh! You’ll cry! You’ll (maybe) learn something about the Jews, and together we’re gonna solve antisemitism. 

You’re welcome.

What you’re buying is a recording of the live performance that was filmed on June 28th, 2024 during the Hollywood Fringe Festival. 

It’s showing up as a donation because there was no option for “Pay what you want” if I sold it as a product or a service on Squarespace.

The email title is “Mazel Tov on your purchase of KOSHER SALT!” and it comes from Squarespace.

I want to make my work available to anyone who wants to see it, but I also don't want my work to be free. The whole project has costs, totaling about $10,000 of my own money. I’d like to not only make some money back, but I’m hoping to earn something off of my work as well. Making art has costs.

I don’t know what my project is “worth” to you. To me it’s invaluable, as I poured my heart and soul onto the stage. It’s by far the most personal and vulnerable project I’ve ever made.

I invite you to pay what you think is fair. Sorry that’s a non-answer, but the truth is that I’d rather make it approachable for those who don’t have a lot of money to give, and also give an opportunity for those that can afford to pay more to pay more.

The Survivor Mitzvah Project is the brainchild of Zane Busby (who’s a fascinating person, btw. Read her bio here). On a trip to Eastern Europe to trace her family lineage, Zane met elderly Holocaust survivors in Lithuania and Belarus. She learned that there were thousands of survivors whose families and communities were decimated by the Holocaust, and have lived forgotten and alone for decades.

She was so moved by this that she founded The Survivor Mitzvah Project. 100% of the donation goes to these survivors (the business costs have been taken care of) and Zane makes sure the money gets into the hands of these people. They use it for whatever they need: a roof over their heads, food in their bellies, firewood, etc. 

How did I get involved with them? Short answer is: I just decided that they were the organization I wanted to partner with. 

I wanted to have a charitable component to my show…if you watch the show you’ll understand…and as soon as I learned about the organization it was a no-brainer. 

I sent them an email letting them know about me, and then sent them $1 per every ticket sale I made. This gave me an intro to Zane. I went to their offices and sat with her for a while. Then she came to see my show. 

That’s it!

You can message me on Instagram or TikTok. I’m happy to answer any questions you have. Just, you know, be a mensch about it.
