His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.","avatar":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twitter":"MarkFiore","facebook":null,"instagram":"https://www.instagram.com/markfiore/?hl=en","linkedin":null,"sites":[{"site":"arts","roles":["contributor"]},{"site":"news","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"futureofyou","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"science","roles":["editor"]}],"headData":{"title":"Mark Fiore | KQED","description":"KQED News Cartoonist","ogImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g"},"isLoading":false,"link":"/author/markfiore"},"bwatt":{"type":"authors","id":"11238","meta":{"index":"authors_1591205172","id":"11238","found":true},"name":"Brian Watt","firstName":"Brian","lastName":"Watt","slug":"bwatt","email":"bwatt@KQED.org","display_author_email":false,"staff_mastheads":["news"],"title":"Morning News Anchor","bio":"Brian Watt is KQED's morning radio news anchor.

They were celebrating the Jewish holiday Tu BiShvat, a time to gather around food, and to honor the time of year the earliest-blooming trees emerge in Israel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, the holiday begins the evening of Sunday, Jan. 16. Rabbi Andra Greenwald explained that, in these times, it's like a Jewish Arbor Day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And it's been said that the act of planting a tree is in and of itself an act of faith,\" she said. \"We never really know, do we, whether we'll have sun or rain.

The closest synagogues are in Stockton and Modesto, over an hour away. So more than 30 years ago, a few families nearby organized the Mother Lode Jewish Community. Now, membership in the MLJC includes more than 100 people from four counties. Their rabbi comes in from Modesto for some holidays and services. Under normal conditions, the group meets at least once a month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Tu BiShvat gathering in 2020 was the last time the group met in person. As with so many groups across the state, the COVID pandemic has made connection difficult. Out of caution, the MLJC has continued to meet remotely throughout the pandemic. They have a lot of older members, some who are immunocompromised. Some members have rushed to get vaccinated and boosted, while others have chosen not to be vaccinated. And that's common for the area — about 50% of Tuolumne County residents are fully vaccinated, compared with over 70% of Californians. With members not all agreeing on COVID, will the group be able to retain its family-like feel?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A long history\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11901794\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11901794\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/01/PioneerJewishCemetery.jpg\" alt=\"sign reading 'Pioneer Jewish Cemetery' hangs from tree with green grass and cemetery visible in background\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/01/PioneerJewishCemetery.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/01/PioneerJewishCemetery-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/01/PioneerJewishCemetery-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/01/PioneerJewishCemetery-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/01/PioneerJewishCemetery-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The first Jewish people came to Sonora, in rural Tuolumne County, in 1849.
