Park Avenue Synagogue Presents The Book Launch of The Prophet's Wife

Sunday, March 21, 2010, 4:00 p.m.

Park Avenue Synagogue presents the book launch of The Prophet's Wife on the occasion of the sixtieth yahrzeit of Rabbi Milton Steinberg (z"l).

The Prophet's Wife—the unfinished novel of Milton Steinberg, author of As a Driven Leaf—is a stirring portrait of the prophet Hosea, his free-spirited wife Gomer, and a people seduced by power and idolatry to betray their faith.

Panelists:

• Rabbi Dan Ehrenkrantz, Reconstructionist Rabbinical College
  "Milton Steinberg: Critic and Model"
