The public Zoom launch<\/a> of my new book, The Intercessor<\/em><\/a>, is on Wednesday, 29 October, at 5:30 pm ET\/4:30 pm CT\/3:30 pm MT\/2:30 pm PT<\/strong>. On the launch I\u2019ll be in dialogue with Rabbi Diane Elliot<\/a>, I\u2019ll read excerpts from the book, and we\u2019ll leave plenty of time for questions and discussion. <\/p>\n The conversations so far have been really interesting<\/strong>, with participants wanting to talk about why I wrote the book, the evolution of Jewish Renewal, the mystical practices that feature in the book, and the challenges of building spiritual community in times such as these. <\/p>\n The Intercessor<\/a> is a novel made up of linked stories, each narrated by a different character<\/strong>. It asks how we make community. As the book unfolds, seven diverse members of the Jewish Renewal movement set out to refresh tradition to benefit the living, showing up in multiple worlds: physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual. They tell their stories of seeking love and healing, facing ethical and social predicaments, knowing when to join hands and when to walk their own paths. <\/p>\n Here\u2019s a link to a description of the Zoom launch<\/a>.\u00a0 Here\u2019s a discount code<\/a> to buy The Intercessor<\/em> at 20% off until November 1st.<\/p>\n And here\u2019s a link to share with anyone who may want to register for the Zoom launch<\/a>. <\/p>\n I\u2019ve been thrilled at response to the book so far<\/strong>. Check out reviews here<\/a> and here<\/a>.<\/p>\n If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me<\/a>. I hope to see you on the 29th!<\/p>\n
