Celebrate RBG and RBG’s Brave and Brilliant Jewish Women with Nadine Epstein

Join us for a special intergenerational conversation and cupcake reception with Nadine Epstein, the editor-in-chief and CEO of Moment Magazine, and the author of RBG’s Brave and Brilliant Women: 33 Jewish Women to Inspire Everyone, to celebrate what would have been Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s 90th birthday.

This exquisitely illustrated collection of biographies of brave and brilliant Jewish female role models—selected in collaboration with Justice Ginsburg and including an introduction written by the iconic Supreme Court justice herself—will inspire people of all ages, and all faiths.

Books will be available at the event for purchase and signing. They make wonderful gifts for people of all ages and genders.
