About This Show
AUTHOR TALK + WORKSHOP: "Why do Jewish?"
with Zack Bodner, President + CEO of the Oshman Family JCC of Palo Alto
Live @ the J + Livestreamed: Thurs, Oct. 20 @ 7pm
How do I live a more meaningful life? How might I feel more connected to others, to the world around me, to the past and the future? In an era when we can choose our own identities, why might we choose to identify as Jews? These are just some of the questions Zack Bodner addresses as he thoughtfully shifts from asking “Why be Jewish?” to “Why do Jewish?” and explains what Jewish Peoplehood is and why he believes we are in the throes of an evolution to a new era: Jewish Peoplehood 4.0.
Books sales + signing after the event. Admission is free and book copies are discounted for Jewish educators + professionals (see below).
