ART, PERFORMANCES & CONVERSATIONS

All New Center programs speak to Jewish audiences and to the broader community. Attracting large and diverse groups of people, our past programs have explored wide-ranging themes and ideas, including: the Exodus story told from multiple cultural perspectives; the blending of Klezmer and swing music; and the influence of a Jewish up-bringing on the lives and careers of acclaimed writers, artists, musicians, actors, political figures and humorists.

We invite everyone to come and experience the insight, passion, humanity, and humor that lie at the heart of our programs.

 Fall 2009: Bruce Feiler

Best-selling author and television commentator Bruce Feiler talks with Rabbi Harold S. Kushner about America’s true Founding Father: Moses. How did a biblical character shape the dreams of Pilgrims and African-American slaves? How has the story of Exodus shaped American notions of freedom and leadership from George Washington to Harriet Tubman, from Superman to Barack Obama? Bruce Feiler is the author of the new book America’s Prophet: Moses and the American Story. His previous books include Abraham, Where God Was Born and Walking the Bible, which was produced as a three-part television series hosted by Feiler on PBS.

 

In conversation with Harold S. Kushner, Rabbi Laureate of Temple Israel in Natick and the author of numerous best-selling books, including When Bad Things Happen to Good People. Rabbi Kushner's new book is Conquering Fear: Living Boldly in an Uncertain World.
