Unpacking the Book: Jewish Writers in Conversation

The Saul and Gladys Gwirtzman Lecture

Join authors Daniela Gerson and Nicholas Lemann in a con­ver­sa­tion rooted in finding your place in the world after war or tragedy. Together with series moderator Stephanie Butnick, they address the question of who are you when you’ve been uprooted, and how do you find a home in a world now foreign to you?

This event is in partnership with the Jewish Book Council, the Jewish Museum, and GOL­DA, your Jew­ish Lifestyle Guide.
