Nira Burstein’s unusual and wonderful
documentary Charm Circle streaming on the DOC NYC site
about her family and Jews and Queens
and mental illness and acceptance and love and how
to make a life No Matter What even if it means
eating eggs all the time and how it is possible
to love one another even if you have
some of the Big Problems in Life but you still
want to live and of course you still want to love.
I wonder if Nira is related to the Amazing Miriam Burstein, my 10th grade English teacher (and z'l to my classmates too)
