Endowment Fund Speaker Series “The Power of Words” featuring Leah Lax

Leah Lax is an award-winning author who has also written libretti for some of America’s top composers. Her first book, Uncovered, about her thirty years among the Lubavitcher Hasidim as a mother of seven and closeted lesbian went worldwide and became an opera. Her latest book, Not From Here: the Song of America, presents extraordinary immigrant testimonies that she says changed her life, as a Jew and as an American.

The Emanu El Endowment Speaker Series is made possible by Nathan Berg Lecture Series Fund, Caplovitz Lectureship Fund, Eleanor & Frank Freed Fund, and Helen & Harry Reichek Fund.
