Judy Blume turned 70 this year. Jill Soloway and friends are planning a celebration of one of their favorite authors with a tribute of readings, performance, and music at M Bar.

If you were to say, hey, that sounds a little like the beginning of the feminist version of “a rabbi, a priest and a minister walk into a bar,” you’d be right…but au contraire, mon amie.

Heaping Portion is, as Jill says, "a few jews having their way with the torah portion. expect words, music, manischevitz, and actual real live magical acts of god. or g-d. or whatever."

Those are Jill Soloway's words -- from her debut literary collection Tiny Ladies in Shiny Pants -- and we couldn't agree more. It reminds us of that lame Cornell article from late summer.
