As Jews, how do we live in alignment with our values, when we are susceptible to unconscious or unexamined bias and discrimination? Join award-winning journalist, USCJ synagogue member, and author of The End of Bias: A Beginning, Jessica Nordell, for a discussion of how and why people, organizations, and cultures become less discriminatory and more just. Nordell traces the process of teshuvah-- from racial bias, gender bias, religious discrimination, and more-- charting a return to a more human way of being in the world.

A complimentary reading group guide for shuls will be available after the session.  

Science writer Jessica Nordell, called "a reflective and capacious thinker" by Jennifer Szalai of the NYT, has written for the Atlantic, NYT, WaPo, and others, and will be a visiting scholar at MIT this fall. The End of Bias: A Beginning was a finalist for the Royal Society Science Book Prize, NYPL Bernstein Award for Excellence in Journalism, and the Columbia/Lukas Prize for Excellence in Nonfiction, and named a "Best Book of the Year" by Greater Good, AARP, and the World Economic Forum. 

Rabbi Adam Rubin, Senior Rabbi and Morris Allen Chair of Rabbinics, Beth Jacob Congregation, will introduce.
