SUMMARY:Com­mu­ni­ty One Read with Bruce Feil­er in Con­ver­sa­tion with Rab­bi Angela Buchdahl
DESCRIPTION:on Zoom. \nJoin Jew­ish Book Coun­cil for a Com­mu­ni­ty One Read with Bruce Feil­er in Con­ver­sa­tion with Rab­bi Angela Buch­dahl. \nFeil­er will be dis­cussing his newest book A Time to Gath­er. Since time immemo­r­i­al\, humans have turned to rit­u­al to con­nect us in peri­ods of change. Until today. Birth rit­u­als and com­ing-of-age rit­u­als have plum­met­ed; few­er than half of Amer­i­cans are mar­ried; only one in three is buried. ​“It took us ten thou­sand years to estab­lish cul­tur­al norms around how we mark col­lec­tive life tran­si­tions\,” writes Bruce Feil­er. ​“It took us fifty years to dis­man­tle them.” Can this threat to soci­ety be reversed? \nTo find out\, Feil­er went on a round-the-world rit­u­al road trip\, attend­ing — and par­tic­i­pat­ing in — life rit­u­als in six­teen coun­tries on six con­ti­nents. These spec­ta­cles\, some rarely seen\, include a mass bap­tism in the Vat­i­can\, a trib­al bride price nego­ti­a­tion in South Africa\, an ado­les­cent tooth fil­ing in Bali\, six wed­dings in Las Vegas\, and ten funer­als in Ire­land. \nAngela Buch­dahl is the author of Heart of a Stranger: An Unlike­ly Rab­bi’s Sto­ry of Faith\, Iden­ti­ty\, and Belong­ing and serves as the Senior Rab­bi of Cen­tral Syn­a­gogue in New York City. She was the first woman to lead this flag­ship con­gre­ga­tion and is the first Asian-Amer­i­­can to be ordained as a rab­bi in North Amer­i­ca. Rab­bi Buch­dahl was invit­ed in 2014 and 2023 to share bless­ings for the White House Hanukkah Par­ty and has been fea­tured in dozens of news out­lets — includ­ing Newsweek​’s Most Influ­en­tial Rab­bis. \nEvent is free.  Please register for Zoom link below. \n\nRegister
