After the sudden death of her husband—Steve “Sproutman” Meyerowitz—of nearly 30 years, author Beth Robbins turned to writing for comfort. And to Keats, Whitman, Melville, and Dickinson. What began as a mourning rite for a grieving widow, eventually transformed into a lyrical memoir of childhood, marriage, grief, and ultimately resurrection. “The fragmentation, or, perhaps better said, the shattering of my world led me to look for conversation, reconnection, dialogue,” says Robbins. “’My poets’, as I began to call them, offered me solace. They spoke to meaning and purpose. Somehow Steve’s death allowed me to (re)discover my strength.” Grief may be unwelcome, but it also brings insights and gifts. Beth Robbins, Hevreh member, and Rabbi Neil Hirsch will sit down to explore Beth’s journey and process, and what meaning she’s taken spiritually.

This program is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served
