From 7 to 8 p.m. on Monday, May 6 author Rabbi Jeffrey Gale will discuss his new book, “The Secret of Redemption.” This book is the sequel to the author’s first book, “The Ballad of East and West,” which tells the story of Rabbi Isaac Levin’s devotion to the cause of Soviet Jewry in the early 1980s.
“The Secret of Redemption” delves into the intertwined lives of Levin and his daughter, Bracha, as they grapple with the echoes of historical trauma and contemporary injustices. Set against the backdrop of November 2013, the narrative explores Levin’s reflections on the 75th anniversary of Kristallnacht, juxtaposed with the challenges faced by his congregation in northern Manhattan.
A graduate of University City High School and Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, Gale focused his career on community relations, interfaith programming and social causes such as civil rights and immigration. This event is intended for adults but is free and open to all. It will be held in the auditorium. The author will have books available for purchase.
