Description
Even after having sat beside thousands of deathbeds, Steve Leder the rabbi was not fully prepared for the loss of his own father. It was only then that Steve Leder the son truly learned how loss makes life beautiful by giving it meaning and touching us with love that we had not felt before. Rabbi Leder's inspiring new book, "The Beauty of What Remains: How Our Greatest Fear Becomes Our Greatest Gift," takes us all on a journey through the experience of loss that is fundamental to everyone.
Join Rabbi Leder and his siblings online January 4 at 7 p.m, the evening before the release of his new book, "The Beauty of What Remains: How Our Greatest Fear Becomes Our Greatest Gift", for a special prelaunch event exclusively for the Wilshire Boulevard Temple family and friends. Rabbi Susan Nanus will lead an intimate conversation with the Leder brothers and sisters as they react to the book's universal themes and reflect on their own personal experiences.
