Rev. Dara
Olandt
is published in a new book "Jewish
Voices in Unitarian Universalism" - just out and available
from the
UUA Bookst
In this fresh collection of thoughtful essays, 20 writers explore the blessings and challenges of Jewish Unitarian Universalist identity and community. While there has been a long and consistent presence of Jewish culture and people in Unitarian Universalism, this poignant anthology is the first to give voice to this community's sturggles, wisdom, and contributions. Essayists include born Jews who came to Unitarian Universalism, Unitarian Universalists who adopted Judaism as a spiritual path, and Unitarian Universalists who have encountered Judaism in diverse ways.
Rev. Dara's essay is titled "Tambourines and Teshuva."
