Becoming WHOLE AGAIN: Finding Out What Really Matters

Sun 22 Sep, 3:30-5 pm. Society for Advancement of Judaism, 15 West 86th Street, New York, 10010. Michael Witkin, (212) 213-1002. The City Congregation for Humanistic Judaism - [email][events]

Twenty-three years ago, a truck struck the rear of a bus where Joshua Prager sat. Ever since, Prager has sought to regain his footing--literally and emotionally too. He has captured the memories and challenges of that journey in his extraordinary and eloquent memoir, Half-Life: Reflections from Jerusalem on a Broken Neck. Prager will be interviewed by Rabbi Peter Schweitzer and read selections from his remarkable work. Joshua Prager writes for publications including Vanity Fair, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal, where he was a senior writer for eight years. George Will has described his work as "exemplary journalistic sleuthing." Prager was a Nieman fellow at Harvard in 2011 and a Fulbright Distinguished Chair at Hebrew University in 2012.
