Join Women for Hope and hear from author and psychotherapist Sara Glass. She will discuss her memoir, Kissing Girls on Shabbat, a moving coming-of-age story about her desperate attempt to protect her children while also embracing her sexuality in an ultra-Orthodox community. Not only is her memoir a love letter to her children, herself, and her family, but it also provides a window into the Hasidic world and is an inspiring celebration of learning to love yourself. 
  
We’ll also hear about UJA’s work supporting New Yorkers in need. 

We'll have time to shop at Transitions after the program. A percentage of the proceeds will benefit UJA -- it’s a great way to make a difference. 20% of the pre-tax proceeds collected in connection with this event will benefit UJA-Federation. Some exclusions may apply. 

Can't join us on Thursday, January 23? The shopping benefit will continue at Transitions through Friday, January 24.
