L’DOR V’DOR: Letty Cottin Pogrebin, Abigail Pogrebin and Molly Shapiro in Conversation with Rabbi Peter Rubinstein

Nov 20, 2022


Please submit questions for the speakers in the Livestream chat starting on November 20 at 6:30 pm ET.

A Jewish grandmother, daughter, and granddaughter talk about family, feminism, solidarity, secrets, food, purpose, their personal histories, aspirations, guilt, and pride. Inspired by Letty’s new book, SHANDA: A Memoir of Shame and Secrecy, three generations of the Pogrebin family will cover the ground from nachas to shandas — including how they’ve navigated the tension between private and public choices, variations of ritual observance, and the drive to create lives of meaning.
