For as long as Judaism has been a religion, “Jewish” has been a culture—one whose unique blend of ritual and realism has kept its people going for some 3,000 years. In The Jewish Way to a Good Life, Rabbi Shira Stutman invites readers of every faith—and none—to do chesed (good work), foster tzedek (justice), practice shabbat (rest), and ultimately find happiness. Books will be available for sale at the event.

Rabbi Shira Stutman is the senior rabbi of the Aspen Jewish Congregation and co-host of the top-ranked PRX podcast “Chutzpod,” in which she provides Jewish answers to life’s contemporary questions and helps listeners build lives of meaning. She was the founding rabbi of Sixth & I Historic Synagogue, in addition to a number of other start-up Jewish life initiatives.
