With Rabbi Ari Sollish
(Recorded live on June 9, 2020)
First published in 1964, Shel Silverstein’s "The Giving Tree" has been translated into more than 30 languages and has sold more than 10 million copies. It is one of the most famous picture books of all time. And while you think you might know the story, there's so much beneath the surface to explore.
Join us for a book reading and discussion as we study "The Giving Tree" and uncover powerful Jewish lessons on education, parenting, and leadership. We’ll compare and contrast Silverstein’s work with the teachings of Maimonides and other great Jewish philosophers.
