My name is Mikki Mendelsohn and I have been writing poetry for some years but only recently sending it out with some successes. I have about12-14 poems published and a book on Amazon called “Chasing Moonbeams” I am ready with another book, but my memoir is being edited- it is called “Rabbi, Your Cleavage is Showing” and represents the slice of life when I decided to become one of the first female rabbis. I am a Rabbi as well as an attorney. I sing and have studied voice for years and I am currently teaching in a private school- English, creative writing, history, economics, government and Latin and Hebrew!  I think that the half marathon will get my juices flowing and be a lot of fun, too and I am looking forward to participating.
