Book Launch at Young Israel of Lawrence-Cedarhurst!

With much gratitude, I’m happy to invite you all to join me for the Book Launch and Signing at Young Israel of Lawrence Cedarhurst on Wednesday evening at 7pm. YILC members were among my first live beta-testers–meaning, I worked up the text into lectures and heard their valuable feedback before going back to the text. I’m very honored to have served there as Resident Scholar for many years, and I hope you will join us in this small celebration!
