Rabbi Harold Kushner
Conquering Fear: Living Boldly In an Uncertain World


Tuesday, November 16 • 7:30 pm • Mandel JCC

Sponsor: The Alvin, Lottie and Rachel Gray Fund of The Mandel JCC
Dessert sponsor: ORT America - Cleveland Region

We welcome back Rabbi Harold Kushner, the best-selling
author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People. His new book, Conquering Fear, is designed to help readers grapple with common problems of suffering, significance, disappointments, guilt, forgiveness, conscience and of course, fear. His book shows us how to be our best selves even when dealing with fearful times and circumstances. Drawing on the teachings of religious and secular literature and on the true stories of people who have faced their fears, Kushner helps us to see that fear can present us with extraordinary opportunities – to connect with our emotions, rethink our values, change our lives and the world for the better. In Conquering Fear, we are again inspired by Rabbi Kushner’s wisdom, and his words which are both deeply spiritual and eminently practical.
