Last weekend North Suburban Synagogue Beth El hosted Marc Michael Epstein, Professor of Religion at Vassar College and author of The Medieval Haggadah: Art, Narrative, and Religious Imagination (Yale University Press, 2011). He spoke during Shabbat dinner on Friday, gave a d'var Torah and post-kiddush lecture on Saturday, and delivered a keynote address on Sunday morning. The response from our congregants was overwhelmingly positive! All of his presentations were dynamic, engaging, entertaining, and enlightening. We sold out of all of the copies of his book and had to order more.
Professor Epstein is interested and available to speak at synagogues, libraries, museums, etc. Visit his website at http://faculty.vassar.edu/maepstein/ for more information. He lives in Poughkeepsie, NY but during the 2013-2014 academic year he will be a visiting professor at Boston College. If you would like more information about our program with him, feel free to contact me directly.
