Presenter:
Arlene Goldbard
About:
Arlene Goldbard will discuss her new book, The Intercessor. It is a novel made of linked stories, each narrated by a different character. It asks how we make community. As the book unfolds, seven diverse members of the Jewish Renewal movement set out to refresh tradition to benefit the living, showing up in multiple worlds: physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual. They tell their stories of seeking love and healing, facing ethical and social predicaments, knowing when to join hands and when to walk their own paths.
