You can link directly to my hightidings travel blog. I will be taking it out of hiatus when I set out on the road again in the middle of April.
Omar Rolf Ehrenfels (1901-1980) was an Austrian who converted to Islam and found himself interned with us in the Satara Internment & Parole Center in India. He was a gifted painter and we were lucky that he wanted to do these watercolor portraits of my mother and me in 1944. You can see how his Orientalism […]
Because I couldn’t stay away from the few characters in Dinner with Enzyme, I wrote a lengthy back story, a novella really, about them. enzyme@dinner by Hazel Kahan This entire story takes place during one evening at Seachange, a San Francisco restaurant. It is a small, elegant place, high above the ocean, peopled apparently by […]
Dinner with André made such an impression on me that I thought I could do one too. Dinner with Enzyme is the result. I wrote it when I was still living in my loft in NYC, working with technology companies on market research projects. Anya Tepper, the main woman character, also appears in my novel, Another […]
This is a story I wrote for Jack, my grandson, when he was six or seven. I wrote it by hand in a small book, with white ink on the black pages and in black ink on the white pages. He liked it. If you’d like to read the manuscript, please contact me.

My review of The Arrogant Years: One Girl’s Search for Her Lost Youth, From Cairo to Brooklyn by Lucette Lagnado, published in the East Hampton Star, December 1, 2011. Varieties of Jewish Experience
I wrote this article after I returned from my visit to Lahore. It was published by the East Hampton Star on June 1, 2011.
Born to German Jewish refugee physicians in Lahore (now Pakistan, then British India) Hazel has lived, studied and worked in many places–India, England, Australia, Israel and the United States. She makes her home in the woods of the eastern end of Long Island, New York where she produces the art of leafages, the radio sounds of Tidings and writes about growing up Jewish in Lahore.

Leafages by Hazel Kahan are made from real leaves, vines and tendrils interwoven with calligraphy, decorative pen and ink flourishes and imaginary Latin botanical names. Leafages contain a philosophical or inspirational thought, quotation or verse from sages, poets or religious texts. Some leafages are specially created for an individual, a couple or a family with words or leaves reflecting their personal narrative. They are available on the Leafages shop on Etsy although the supply is low right now, all my energies having been absorbed by the book I’ve been writing. Do come back soon when the shop will be full of new leafage abundance or contact me.
