Join us for an evening with author Rabbi Jeffrey Gale as he discusses his new book, The Secret of Redemption.
This book is the sequel to the author’s first book, The Ballad of East and West, which tells the story of Rabbi Isaac Levin’s devotion to the cause of Soviet Jewry in the early 1980s.
The Secret of Redemption delves into the intertwined lives of Rabbi Levin and his daughter, Bracha, as they grapple with the echoes of historical trauma and contemporary injustices. Set against the backdrop of November 2013, the narrative explores Rabbi Levin’s reflections on the seventy-fifth anniversary of Kristallnacht, juxtaposed with the challenges faced by his congregation in northern Manhattan.
Born in St. Louis, Missouri and a graduate of University City High School and Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, Rabbi Jeffrey Gale focused his career on community relations, interfaith programming, and social causes such as civil rights and immigration. After ordination, Rabbi Gale served the Southend and District Reform Synagogue and the Settlement Synagogue. While in England, he served on the reform movement’s music committee and on the Soviet Jewry committee.
This event is intended for adults, but free and open to all. It will be held in the auditorium. The author will have books available for purchase.

Join us for an online chat with New York Times-bestselling debut author Nina Simon as she chats about her lighthearted whodunnit about a grandmother-mother-daughter trio of amateur sleuths, Mother-Daughter Murder Night.
High-powered business woman Lana finds herself convalescing in a sleepy coastal town with her adult daughter Beth and granddaughter Jack, when Jack finds a dead body while kayaking and quickly becomes a prime suspect in the homicide investigation. With Jack and Beth’s help, Lana uncovers a web of lies, family vendettas, and land disputes lurking beneath the surface of a community populated by folksy conservationists and wealthy ranchers. But as their amateur snooping advances into ever-more dangerous territory, the headstrong women must learn to do the one thing they’ve always resisted: depend on each other. Nothing brings a family together like a murder next door!
