SUMMARY:Brad Meltzer
DESCRIPTION:" If you really want to shock the world\,  unleash your kindness."\n—Brad Meltzer \nBased on bestselling author Brad Meltzer’s viral commencement speech for his\nson’s 2024 graduating class at the University of Michigan\, MAKE MAGIC is the\nlittle book of hope for anyone who has ever wished for more. More\nauthenticity. More empathy. More gratitude. A more fulfilling life. \nWith charming\, thoughtful insights from his remarkable life and career\,\nMeltzer uses magic as allegory\, sharing the secret that there are only four\ntypes of magic tricks: \n1) you make something appear\,\n2) you make something disappear\,\n3) you make two things switch places\, and\n4) you turn one thing into something else—the hardest trick of all\,\ntransformation. \nEmbracing each of these easy-to-follow tricks—and unleashing your kindness and\nempathy—will inspire you to craft a life filled with wonder and awe. MAKE\nMAGIC is an uplifting message from one of today’s most inspiring voices. \nBrad Meltzer is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of thirteen\nthrillers\, six nonfiction books\, and the Ordinary People Change the World\nseries. \nView event on Jlive: https://jlive.app/events/10617

SUMMARY:Scholars in Session: A Pickle Problem-The Deli Revival and American Jewish Religion
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Rachel B. Gross explores how participating in the deli revival provides\nan alternative\, under-appreciated way of practicing in American Jewish life.\nIn her book\, Beyond the Synagogue: Jewish Nostalgia as Religious Practice\,\nthe author traces American Jews’ involvement in a broad array of ostensibly\nnonreligious activities. From conducting Jewish genealogical research\,\nvisiting Jewish historic sites\, purchasing books and toys that teach Jewish\nnostalgia to children\, to seeking out traditional Jewish foods\, Gross argues\nthat these practices illuminate how many American Jews are finding and making\nmeaning within American Judaism today.\nRachel B. Gross is Associate Professor and John and Marcia Goldman Chair in\nAmerican Jewish Studies at San Francisco State University. Her book\, Beyond\nthe Synagogue: Jewish Nostalgia as Religious Practice \, is a 2021 National\nJewish Book Award finalist and received an Honorable Mention for the 2021 Saul\nViener Book Prize\, given by the American Jewish Historical Society. \nProf. Gross will be signing her book following the program\, which also\nincludes a free pickle tasting! \nPresented by SAJE (Seminars for Adult Jewish Enrichment).
