Bruce Feiler in Conversation with Rabbi Gardenswartz on his Newest Book, A Time to Gather
About this episode
Bruce Feiler discusses the role of rituals in our lives and how to create innovative ones in conversation with Rabbi Gardenswartz.
In his new book A Time to Gather , our friend and multiply published bestselling author, Bruce Feiler, delves into the role of rituals in our lives, how traditional old and innovative new rituals might work together, and our empowered role in creating them. In this podcast, he offers a one-sentence recipe for the diversity of innovative rituals that help and heal, that anchor and inspire: Something new, something old, something borrowed, and something You. Bruce will also be our speaker on the afternoon of Yom Kippur, September 21, before Ne'ilah; the day that is most filled with ritual: not eating, not drinking, not having relations, not wearing leather, praying, beating our chest as we offer the vidui , the confessional, together as a community.
