"The Gift of Rest: Rediscovering the Beauty of the Sabbath"
A Conversation with
Senator Joseph Lieberman and Rabbi Ethan Tucker
Sunday, January 8th, 2012
7:30 - 9:00pm
Join us for an evening of conversation and learning around the topic of Shabbat. Senator Lieberman's recent book, The Gift of Rest, will serve as the centerpiece of our conversation, which will weave together political anecdotes and thoughtful consideration of rabbinic halakhah and aggadah about Shabbat. What is the role of Shabbat in the contemporary world? How can rigorous Jewish observance integrate into public life? When conflicts arise surrounding Shabbatobservance, how can we deal with them?
