On Being Jewish Now: A Pre-High Holy Day Conversation and Writing Workshop with Acclaimed Authors
Sunday, September 14
9:30 to 11:30 AM
Glazer Campus, Audrey Irmas Pavilion
Join us for an exceptional literary event on writing and Jewish identity, bringing together some of today’s most acclaimed voices.
In partnership with Zibby Owens and contributors to On Being Jewish Now—a USA Today bestseller—this program features a panel with bestselling authors Rabbi Steve Leder, Zibby Owens, Anna Ephron Harari, and Amy Ephron. Together, they will delve into how writing can illuminate identity, memory, and the Jewish experience in ways both deeply personal and universally resonant.
After the conversation, participate in intimate breakout sessions where our panelists will guide participants through writing prompts designed to spark personal reflection and creativity, followed by a book signing with the authors.
Held during Elul, the season of reflection before the High Holy Days, this gathering offers a rare opportunity to engage with celebrated authors and to explore your own story in community.
