Dinner, lecture and discussion with Rabbi John Rosove, author of Why Judaism Matters - Letters of a Liberal Rabbi to His Children and the Millennial Generation

“In our technology-saturated, attention-absorbing age, Rosove offers religion-as-reprieve, his fresh vision of a thoroughly modern, politically-engaged and inclusive Judaism.”----Danielle Berrin

“Rabbi John Rosove addresses his intellectual and well-reasoned investigation of faith to his own sons, which sets this book apart for its candor and its ability to penetrate not only the mind but also the heart." --- Matthew Weiner
