This Evening’s Kosher Scene Radio Show

Our guest this evening at 10:00pm (Eastern Time), on our BlogTalkRadio show, will be Estie Wartenberg US sales/brand manager for Israel’s Recanati Winery. Among other subjects we will be talking about next week’s exciting Night of Wine and Art at the Igal Fedida Gallery.

Who is Ms. Wartenberg, what qualifies for her current position? In her own words:

I began my wine journey at the Royal Wine Corp in 2001, where I was hired as a sales representative for Queens, NY. In 2005 I was the first salesperson ever at Royal Wine Corp to receive the “Sales person of the Year” award. In 2007 I left Royal to go to The Beverage Network Publications and worked as the Sales and Marketing Manager out of their corporate office on John Street in NYC. I also wrote articles on Kosher wine for their industry magazines; The Beverage Media and The Beverage Journal. While I was working for the magazine, I got a call from Palm Bay International, the US importer for Recanati Wines. They were looking for someone with a background in Kosher wine to manage their Kosher brand in the US. (Palm Bay International mainly imports Italian non Kosher wine.) Palm Bay hired me in February 2010 to be the US Sales/Brand Manager for Recanati Winery.

Meanwhile, in case you missed it, why not listen to last week’s broadcast with Allison Josephs from Jew in the City?

A Talk with Igal Fedida

This coming Wednesday at 10:00pm (Eastern Time), we will be talking to Igal Fedida. He is a modern painter with a message that extends beyond time. His colors are bold, Hebrew letters appear almost invariably, his brush strokes reveal a lot more about the subject matter than do the works of far more photo realistic artists. In short, though he paints Jewish art, his paintings speak to Jew and non-Jew alike, his works stir up emotions far beyond what the eyes can perceive. While looking at his works, you see the colors dance, you see the colors explode; no definable shape is discernible, yet everything that exists or ever existed is in them.

I’ve been speaking to Igal almost daily over last week, his is a fascinating life’s journey to orthodoxy and the healing process of painting. His website, tells us:

Igal Fedida, born and raised in Israel, moved to the United States at an early age to pursue a successful business career in construction, design and remodeling. Being of curious and deeply spiritual nature, however, he decided to take some time to get to know the World and he traveled to many distant and unusual pockets of our home planet. He enjoyed drawing, sketching and design since an early age and he discovered the love for photography during his travels, capturing images of nature and people alike.

Returning to Los Angeles, he enrolled in intensive photography study program at the UCLA. Exploring the world of photography, his need for expression drove him to develop a unique form where he combined Polaroid photographs with water color in order to deepen the effect of the image. In doing so he discovered that his need to express the nature and the World that surrounds us far surpasses the limited potential of photography. Subsequently, as if an invisible hand pointed a direction, the magic door opened and he was pulled into the world of painting.

Meanwhile, in case you missed it, please listen to our broadcast with Dimitry Salita. Dimitry is another interesting personality, an Orthodox Jewish boxer!

Dimitry Salita, Boxer, Orthodox Jew

After a two week hiatus we are back! Our guest on BlogTalkRadio/kosherscene this evening will be none other than Dimitry Salita, a frum yid, proudly displaying his tzitit, and a top boxer! Sounds like a contradiction? How could a religious Jew, be a boxer. Tonight, please tune us in at 10:00pm (Eastern Time), you’ll hear a fascinating conversation with a personality who’s not just a brawler, you’ll hear a conversation with someone who’ll shutter your every myth, your every misconception, about what makes a top athlete, a top fighter.

I had the immense pleasure of meeting Dimitry last week, I found him to be charming, gentle and totally unassuming. In fact, he was the very opposite of what I ever imagined a professional boxer would be!

Who is Dimitry Salita? Wikipedia describes him thus:

Born in Odessa, Ukrainian SSR, Soviet Union (now Odessa, Ukraine) as Dmitriy Aleksandrovich Lekhtman, Salita was five years old when he saw his first boxing match. “It was Mike Tyson, and I remember dancing around my room that night imitating the moves”, he recalled. Salita moved with his family to Flatbush, Brooklyn, at the age of nine because of the escalating violence against Jews in Ukraine. His father, Aleksandr Lekhtman, was an engineer; his late mother, Lyudmila Salita, was an accountant. He has one brother, Mikhail. He uses his mother’s maiden name as his professional name.

Well, gentle reader, I won’t spoil it for you. You just gotta listen in this evening at 10:00pm (Eastern Time) for what promises to be an absorbing talk with Dimitry Salita, a welterweight boxer who has clearly shown his yiddishkeit will never compromise to the demands of his career.

Meantime, in case you missed it, please listen in to our show with Chaya Rivka Zwolinski, she’s a ghost writer, editor, book doctor and blogger at: http://healthyjewishcooking.com.

Please, don’t miss our  exciting show this evening at at 10:00pm (Eastern Time) with Dimitry Salita. We’ll be waiting for you!
