Author Meryll Levine Page will speak about her book Jewish Luck in the Astor Judaica Library at the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center.
Jewish Luck recounts the intertwined stories of two women who -- in their struggles against the anti-Semitism and patriarchy of the Soviet regime and the rebranded “New” Russia -- succeed by creating their own luck. Jewish Luck invites readers to inhabit the lives of Vera and Alisa, two extraordinary and headstrong women, as they fight to establish themselves in a time and place where women, Jews, and capitalism were disparaged.
