Listen "Dara Horn — Engaging with Memory and Time"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome back to Just For This. Each week, host Rabbi Liz P.G. Hirsch (she/her) interviews women in leadership about women and leadership. Inspired by the story of Esther, we feature powerful stories of women who stand out in their fields, who have stepped up just for this moment. Our guest this week is award-winning author Dara Horn. She has authored six books, including the best-seller, "People Love Dead Jews: Reports from a Haunted Present." She is the recipient of three National Jewish Book Awards, and has appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, and The Atlantic. We discuss the success of "People Love Dead Jews," how retelling the Passover story helps us keep history and memory alive, and the inspiration for her newest book, her first for young readers, a Passover-themed graphic novel called "One Little Goat."
