Event Details

Description

Rabbi Shira Stutman will discuss themes from her book with Rabbi Judith Kempler that include being Jewish as a culture and how to enrich daily routines and engage those around us in community, ultimately leading to finding happiness. Copies of The Jewish Way to a Good Life will be available for purchase from Books & Books.

For as long as Judaism has been a religion, “Jewish” has been a culture-one whose unique blend of ritual and realism has kept its people going for some 3,000 years. In The Jewish Way to a Good Life, Rabbi Shira Stutman invites readers of every faith and none to do chesed (good work), foster tzedek (justice), practice shabbat (rest), and ultimately find happiness.

From Love and Sex to Mourning and Money, Rabbi Shira visits ten realms where we all get lost on occasion, to deliver spirited, sometimes surprising wisdom. On love: Sex is meant to be fun and liberating. On rest: Time is even more sacred than things. Again and again, she reveals how customs have survived not out of obligation, but because they meet our deepest needs–from shiva, which allows mourning families not to be OK, to the unbridled joy of dancing the hora at weddings.

Copies of The Jewish Way to a Good Life will be available for purchase from Books & Books for $22.95 at the event.
