Stephen Wise Free Synagogue
30 West 68th StreetRaising readers in the age of distraction isn’t easy.
In "Children of the Book: A Memoir of Reading Together," Ilana Kurshan makes the case that reading with her children is something far more than routine — it's the foundation of independence, imagination and Jewish identity.
Join Ilana for a lively conversation about her new memoir and the transformative power of shared reading — how stories strengthen family bonds, shape resilient children and link ancient Jewish texts to the rhythms of modern parenthood.
The book can be purchased on Amazon, Barnes and Noble or from your local bookstore.
