Spotlight Salon: “The Amen Effect” Discussion

7:00 pm — 8:15 pm

Virtual on Zoom

Discussion of key themes in the bestselling book The Amen Effect: Ancient Wisdom to Mend Our Broken Hearts and World by Rabbi Sharon Brous.

Presented by: Rabbi Lily Goldstein, Assistant Rabbi, Congregation BJBE. Registration is below.

The Amen Effect was a Finalist for the 2024 National Jewish Book Award for Contemporary Jewish Life and Practice.

From one of our country’s most prominent rabbis, an inspiring book about the power of community based on one of her most impactful sermons.

In a time of loneliness and isolation, social rupture and alienation, what will it take to mend our broken hearts and rebuild our society?

Sharon Brous—a leading American rabbi—makes the case that the spiritual work of our time, as instinctual as it is counter-cultural, is to find our way to one other in celebration, in sorrow, and in solidarity. To show up for each other in moments of joy and pain, vulnerability and possibility, to invest in relationships of shared purpose and build communities of care. – The Jewish Museum
