Foer's title, Here I Am, is taken from moments in Torah where our ancestors have responded to God's call. In this modern Jewish novel, Foer asks us what calls reach our complex Jewish identities today.
Set against the backdrop of an upcoming bar mitzvah, a failing marriage, and a catastrophic earthquake in Israel, we are asked to consider what is compelling about Judaism today. Critic Maureen Corrigan calls Here I Am a profound work about the claims of history, identity, and family.
Join in a spirited discussion of Foer's latest book with Rabbi Lisa Kingston and Lisa Meltzer Penn.
Books are available through your local bookstore or Amazon.
