Rabbi Shira Returns to Celebrate Her New Book on Jewish Wisdom and Meaning
Rabbi Shira, Sixth & I’s former long-time and much beloved Senior Rabbi, returns to Sixth & I to celebrate her debut book! She set the vision for Sixth & I’s radically welcoming approach to Jewish learning and community and transformed thousands of lives in the process.
When looking for inspiration on how to live well, a go-to source is other cultures. We’ve learned how to warm our homes with hygge, find meaningful work with ikigai, and practice mindfulness and yoga, rooted in Hindu philosophy. In The Jewish Way to a Good Life: Find Happiness, Build Community, and Embrace Lovingkindness, Rabbi Shira distills 3,500 years of Jewish wisdom and culture into practical, time-tested strategies that anyone can adopt to find meaning, cultivate good values, and experience joy. She reminds us: You don’t have to be Jewish to do Jewish. And she tells us how, covering topics including kindness, love, rest, health, education, community, and more.
Rabbi Shira is the co-host of the podcast Chutzpod!, senior rabbi at Aspen Jewish Congregation, and founder of Mixed Multitudes. She was named one of America’s Most Inspiring Rabbis by the Forward, among other awards.
Rabbi Stutman will be in conversation with David Brooks, a New York Times Opinion columnist and the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Second Mountain and The Road to Character, among other books.
