SVIVAH Book Club: Live Conversation
“When We See You Again” by Rachel Goldberg-Polin
Facilitated by Dr. Katie Schenk, Jordyn Rozensky, and Rabbanit Dalia Davis
A SVIVAH Book Club conversation around When We See You Again by Rachel Goldberg-Polin
Join us for conversation and connection as we gather around When We See You Again, Rachel Goldberg-Polin’s memoir about the aftermath of her son Hersh’s abduction and death following October 7th. It is a story of grief and love and what it means to keep going when everything feels shattered. It is also a story about strong women* and the communities that hold us through unimaginable pain.
Together, we will reflect on the book, explore the ways grief moves through individuals and communities, and make space for the complicated feelings this story may bring up for us. We’ll think together about what it means to witness one another’s pain, how community can help carry heartbreak, and how stories can become a form of connection and care.
Whether you’ve read every page, are still making your way through it, or are just beginning — come be with us.
Thursday, June 4th at 8:00-9:15pm ET on Zoom

With gratitude to the supporters of our work:
SVIVAH is dependent on the generosity of those who choose to invest in a powerful community of women. As always, cost should never be a barrier to anything SVIVAH, but if you can, please help us show respect to our speakers/facilitators for their time and expertise.
