 the beauty of what remains


We will be discussing "The Beauty of What Remains" by Rabbi Steve Leder. The discussion will be facilitated by Rona Berns. The Rabbi will join our Zoom call.


About the book:

As the senior rabbi of Wilshire Boulevard Temple, one of the largest synagogues in the world, Steve Leder has learned over and over again the many ways death teaches us how to live and love more deeply by showing us not only what is gone but also the beauty of what remains.

Even after having sat beside thousands of deathbeds, Rabbi Leder was not fully prepared for the loss of his own father. It was only then that he learned how loss makes life beautiful by giving it meaning and touching us with love that we had not felt before. 

Enriched by Rabbi Leder's irreverence, vulnerability, and wicked sense of humor, this heartfelt narrative is filled with laughter and tears, the wisdom of millennia and modernity, and, most of all, an unfolding of the profound and simple truth that in loss we gain more than we ever imagined.



The book is available at the Los Angeles Public Library and on Kindle.  Please read the book in advance.
