Talk

Thursday, April 6, 2017

Edgar M. Bronfman’s last book, Why Be Jewish? is the late philanthropist's meditation on living a meaningful secular Jewish life. Inspired by his work on global Jewish causes, his brother Charles Bronfman--co-founder of Birthright Israel and author of the recently published Distilled: A Memoir of Family, Seagram, Baseball, and Philanthropy – will discuss his family's legacy and activism with Edgar's literary collaborator on the project, Ruth Andrew Ellenson, author of the National Jewish Book Award winning The Modern Jewish Girl’s Guide to Guilt.
