Join us for an engaging conversation between Rabbi Sam Zwarenstein and Michael Scott that will touch on themes of courage, resilience, and the enduring power of light and legacy, as explored in Michael's new book, A Light Still Burns.

Michael Scott draws on decades of military service and personal experience to offer a profound call to conscience, while Rabbi Zwarentstein brings spiritual insight and tradition to the dialogue.

A Light Still Burns will be available for purchase on the night.
