ManHannukah is on-a-kah

Holiday types cartoon, Grand Bazaar, a successful show, events, and exciting plans for the future!

Sunday, Dec. 18, 2022

Good morning! This holiday, I'm the type of person that's everywhere ... at so many parties and popups. It inspired me to update my old cartoon (9 types of people on Hanukkah) to identify the types of people over the holiday season.

 

Speaking of which, today's newsletter is early to let you know if you're in Manhattan, I'll be at the Grand Bazaar holiday market til 5! Perfect for getting last-minute Hanukkah gifts (it starts tonight!) or gifts for all the holidays. And, if you don't live here, or don't feel like going outside, I wrote a gift guide featuring products from NYC-based businesses and creators.

 

And, you may have heard, I hosted Mitzvah or Shandah live on Tuesday. See a show recap and read about more upcoming events. Enjoy!

 

If you're new here, hi! I'm Danielle, a marketer, writer, and artist doodling about her life (@danielleindoodles) and Jewish things (@jewsindoodles). This newsletter, sent most Sundays, has new cartoons and updates on what I'm working on in both worlds. I love producing this newsletter and appreciate you following along!

My game Mitzvah or Shandah sparks memorable and fun conversation. The book is great especially on night one of Hanukkah because it has all the prayers in one place plus recipes, fun facts, the story, and more. It's appropriate for people of all ages, and it's been especially popular with interfaith families.

 

Mitzvah or shandah conversation game is great for 13+

Recap: Mitzvah or Shandah live!

I produced this show at Stand Up NY on Tuesday. It was a blast! You can see the highlights by clicking the video above. The comedians were great and the feedback from everyone was that they had a lot of fun. I wasn't sure it would work live in this format, but I proved it does! Thanks to everyone who came and helped!

Attempting holiday self love!

Lately I'm struggling with comparing myself to other creators and never feeling like I'm doing enough — especially living in NYC where SO many things are happening and there are SO many cool creators. Keeping up on social media is hard, too! Any tips or advice or encouraging words are welcome, think of it as a free gift you can give me <3 Happy Hanukkah if you celebrate! Remember, I made a playlist — my gift to you.

 

Talk soon and see some of you soon at events I hope!

 

Doodles! Danielle
