On Being Jewish Now – Meet These Jewish Stars!

 

 

 


 

 

You're invited to an inspiring panel discussion with renowned writers as they share their contributions to the timely and thought-provoking book On Being Jewish Now. This intimate collection of essays reflects the diverse voices and experiences of today's Jewish community, exploring what it means to be Jewish in our world today—especially in the wake of the October 7th attacks. The essays are smart, funny, poignant, and hopeful, offering a powerful window into the joys, challenges, and resilience that define the Jewish experience.

 

Panelists include:

 

·     Zibby Owens – Podcast host of Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books, CEO of Zibby Books, and author of Blank

 

·     Daphne Merkin – Author of five books and writer for The New Yorker and The New York Times Magazine

 

·     Jonathan Santlofer – Best-selling author of The Lost Van Gogh and The Last Mona Lisa, and artist whose work is featured in the Met

 

·     Lisa Kogan – Writer-at-large for O, The Oprah Magazine

 

The book features 75 contributors—each sharing personal reflections on Jewish joy, celebration, family, love, and the enduring threads that unite the Jewish people: resilience, humor, and strength. Contributors to the book include Jill Zarin, Steve Leder, Amy Ephron, Jenny Mollen, and many others.
