Readers of Alma’s newspaper column trust her as a reliable companion. She constructs irrefutable arguments brick by brick. She summons phrases of passion in defense of human rights that leave scars on the page and consciousness. Yet she pulls off her greatest trick in Gate of Return by conjuring a distinctly different voice that lures readers to accompany her as she retraces each step on a spiritual journey that is like no other.

I've been writing an opinion column for Hearst Connecticut Media since 2010. Recurrent themes in my columns include eleven years of anti-Donald Trump opinions, pro-democracy advocacy, voting rights, immigration, Israel, embrace of Jewish worship, interfaith dialogue, civil and human rights advocacy, gun safety, homelessness and poverty. My articles can be found on the Greenwich Time website. At the moment, the articles are behind a paywall, but that may change for this website… stay tuned!
