Rabbi David will be joined by CNN political analyst David Gregory for a powerful discussion of various religious traditions and the journey to discover what we believe and who we want to be. David Gregory has worked as an NBC news anchor, a moderator on Meet the Press, and is currently a political analyst for CNN. The Wall Street Journal’s book review says that Gregory explores spirituality with the curiosity and dedication you would expect from a seasoned journalist, coupled with the “genuine and deeply felt” yearning of a true seeker of faith. Following the discussion, attendees are invited to join us for a book signing and reception, generously sponsored by Romemu’s Israel Lit book club.
