MIC 2025 Year in Review
Dear Friends,
“Whoever saves a single life is considered by scripture to have saved the whole world.” This excerpt from the Jewish Talmud (Sanhedrin 37a) haunted me as I reflected upon the impact of ICE on our immigrant communities during the past year. As stories of the savage treatment of immigrants propagated in the media, I often wondered, where were we when this all happened? What did we actually do to support our sisters and brothers? When we looked into the eyes of our immigrant neighbor, did we see the suffering of the whole world?
February Newsletter – Music Heals

MIC – September Newsletter
Dear friends, Hope and anxiety. These emotions swirled within me as a student and later as a teacher whenever I faced the prospect of a new school year. My twin sons are graduating from high school this year– a milestone that I am not ready to embrace. As children and...
MIC – August Newsletter
Dear friends, In 2021, the National Institutes of Health published a study about the essential importance of taking breaks when learning or practicing a skill. It seems that our brains need breaks to form new memories or to reinforce neural pathways to support...
MIC – July Newsletter
Dear friends, Look, up in the sky, it’s a bird, it's a plane– it’s Superman! This is the iconic line I remember from my childhood. As we enter the summer movie blockbuster season, the media is saturated with the upcoming premieres of the new Superman reboot and the...
