SUMMARY:From Paradise to Promised Land: A Story of Reading Together
DESCRIPTION:Join New York Jewish Week and UJA-Federation New York for the next event in our Folio literary series. Author\, Ilana Kurshan\, will be joined by Dr. Rachel Scheinerman\, My Jewish Learning editor\, to discuss Ilana’s forthcoming book Children of the Book: A Memoir of Reading Together.\n\nThis conversation about reading\, parenting\, and Torah will explore the themes in Ilana Kurshan’s forthcoming memoir. Kurshan will discuss how reading with her children taught her how to become both a better mother and a better reader. She will explore the parallels between the board books\, picture books\, and chapter books she read with her children and the Five Books of Moses — the book that the Jewish people never stop reading. Join us in this celebration of the closeness forged when family life unfolds against a backdrop of reading together.\n\nIlana Kurshan is the author of If All the Seas Were Ink\, winner of the Sami Rohr Prize for Jewish literature. She has worked in literary publishing both in New York and in Jerusalem as a translator and foreign rights agent\, and as the books editor of Lilith Magazine. Kurshan is a graduate of Harvard University (BA\, summa cum laude\, History of Science) and Cambridge University (M.Phil\, English literature). She teaches and studies Torah in Jerusalem\, where she lives with her husband and five children.
