I told every friend who called me told that I was reading at the Yafo Arab-Jewish Theater at the memorial evening for Moti Geldman.  “Who’s He?”  they all said.  And then we told the cabbie what we were going to Jaffa for and he said the same thing.  

“People don’t really read poetry anymore,” I told the poets who showed up for the evening, and they absolutely disagreed.

 After all, they were there to praise Moti who was one of the best known of all of us.

But the Jaffa Theater is worth any effort to go to.  You may remember even I had an event there in the series Moti Geldman had arranged.  Just the place and the goal are worthy in themselves.  I think I’m going to do a series with them.
