Ever wonder how Elizabeth Taylor lived so publicly—and had such a lasting culturalimpact—and yet maintained her mystique? M.G. Lord may have your answers.Join the bestselling author (Forever Barbie, Astro Turf) for a breakfast discussion ofThe Accidental Feminist, which profiles the life and legend of Liz—Oscar-nominatedactress, lifelong activist, and, as Lord makes perfectly clear, a ground-breakingfeminist (if an accidental one). Her feminism, Lord demonstrates, was evidenced bythe roles Taylor chose as she subtly, yet thoroughly, advanced women’s causes,starting from the very beginning, e.g., when her character in National Velvet battledgender discrimination, and continued throughout her career.

It’s time for her to retire and she must figure out which of her threegrandkids will inherit the company she built from the ground up. The catch is thatshe long ago wrote each and every one of them out of her will, and there is somebridge building to be done before anyone can get down to business. Take a breakand enjoy a great lunch with a great author.

TALK @ 2 • 2:00 P.M.Eyal Press, Beautiful Souls: Saying No, Breaking Ranksand Heeding the Voice of Conscience in Dark Times
Inspired by Hannah Arendt’s seminal Eichmann in Jerusalem, journalist Eyal Pressinvestigates a century of human conflict and turmoil, and finds individuals whorose above Arendt’s so-called “banality of evil.” Why did one Nazi soldier go againstthe grain and help Jewish refugees flee Austria? Why did one Serb put his life onthe line to save the lives of Croats? Why did one financial industry worker chooseto become a whistle-blower rather than sit back and rake in the profits? In BeautifulSouls, Press explains what may motivate the best of us and gives us unflinchingportraits of those who chose conscience over conformity.

Daniel Gordis, The Promise of Israel: Why Its Seemingly Greatest WeaknessIs Actually Its Greatest StrengthSunday, November 11 • 7:30 P.M.
Connect with Dr. Daniel Gordis, “one of Israel's most thoughtful observers” (Alan Dershowitz) and Senior Vice President andKoret Distinguished Fellow at the Shalem Center in Jerusalem, when he shares excerpts from The Promise of Israel. Critics ofIsrael would say that no country devoted to a single faith and culture can stay prosperous. Dr. Gordis says they’re wrong,and cites endless examples of freedom and fortune found in Israel that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. He alsooffers this radical thought to the Palestinians: perhaps their own best interests would be served by emulating Israel’s examplerather than trying to end its existence.Admission: $16/JCC Member; $19/Non-Member
