Five Week Book Club (All Losses) – Virtual

Book: The Beauty of What Remains by Steve Leder As the senior rabbi of one of the largest synagogues in the world, Steve Leder has learned over and over again the many ways death teaches us how to live and love more deeply by showing us not only what is gone but also the beauty of what remains. This inspiring and comforting book takes us on a journey through the experience of loss that is fundamental to everyone. Yet even after having sat beside thousands of deathbeds, Steve Leder the rabbi was not fully prepared for the loss of his own father. It was only then that Steve Leder the son truly learned how loss makes life beautiful by giving it meaning and touching us with love that we had not felt before. Enriched by Rabbi Leder’s irreverence, vulnerability, and wicked sense of humor, this heartfelt narrative is filled with laughter and tears, the wisdom of millennia and modernity, and, most of all, an unfolding of the profound and simple truth that in loss we gain more than we ever imagined. The book The Beauty of What Remains: How Our Greatest Fear Becomes Our Greatest Gift by Steve Leder is required reading for this group and can be purchased online.   Registration: Open attendance but one time registration needed Facilitator: Leslie Eames, MA, CT Phone: (302) 478-5707 Email: leames@delawarehospice.org
