Thursday, November 11th 2010

Tikkun Olam Program

Kevin Salwen - THE POWER OF HALF


The exceptional story of how one young girl changed her family’s life by changing their lifestyle. Funny, warm and reflective, the Salwens found a new perspective on how to live, reconnect, and make a difference in the world, when they stopped taking and started giving back.


Peter Lovenheim - IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD


After a tragedy in his neighborhood, journalist Lovenheim seeks out the true meaning of “community” by embarking on sleepovers at neighbors’ homes. Part cultural study, part friendship study, his moving and quirky stories share insight into isolation & connection, and how we can make our world a more welcoming place.

THE THREE WEISSMANNS OF WESTPORT


The New York Times best-seller has been called a “domestic comedy” and a “modern retelling of Jane Austen’s Sense & Sensibility.” Mama Weissmann and her two adult daughters escape the drama of New York City for a small cottage in Westport, Connecticut; complete with hilarity, tenderness, upheaval and a dose of scandal to top it all off.
