St. Louis Jewish Book Festival & Speaker Series Presents Bruce Feiler

Jewish tradition has long understood the power of ritual to shape meaningful lives. In his inspiring new book, A Time to Gather, bestselling author and TED speaker Bruce Feiler explores why those timeless practices remain essential today, not only in Jewish life, but for anyone seeking greater connection, resilience, and purpose.

Blending history, contemporary research, and engaging storytelling, Feiler shows how intentional rituals help us celebrate, grieve, gather, and grow. Whether you’re looking to strengthen family traditions, build community, or simply bring more meaning to everyday moments, you’ll leave with fresh perspectives and practical ideas for creating rituals that enrich your life and the lives of those around you.

This event is made possible by the Jewish Book Council and is hosted in partnership with Congregation B’nai Amoona.
