Description
Join CCAR Press and Hebrew Union College–Jewish Institute of Religion to celebrate the release of "Above All, We Are Jews: A Biography of Rabbi Alexander Schindler" by Michael A. Meyer. Rabbi Alexander Schindler (1925–2000) was an extraordinarily influential leader in the history of Reform Judaism. From 1973 to 1996, he served as president of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations (today's Union for Reform Judaism), where his charisma and vision raised the Reform Movement to unprecedented influence. In this compelling new biography, Professor Meyer draws on extensive archival research and interviews to paint a definitive portrait of Rabbi Schindler's life. Join us for an engaging conversation between the author and Rabbi Joan S. Friedman, PhD, as they explore Rabbi Schindler's impact and enduring influence. Cosponsored by Hebrew Union College–Jewish Institute of Religion. Order your copy of the book at http://aboveallwearejews.ccarpress.org and use promo code ABOVEALL20 at checkout for 20% off. Valid through Tuesday, April 29. Free and open to the public with registration.
