Passing on Stories of Jewish Heritage, Culture and Identity with Richard Michelson and Amy E. Schwartz

Award-winning author and poet Richard Michelson has written many lyrical children’s books that capture the enchanting byways of American Jewish culture. From Martin Luther King, Jr and Abraham Joshua Heschel to baseball player Lipman Pike and author Sydney Taylor, Michelson uses books to teach children about Jewish values like social justice, giving charity, developing interfaith relationships, fighting discrimination and antisemitism, and more. Join Michelson, author of the new book More Than Enough: Inspired by Maimonides’s Golden Ladder of Giving and Moment Opinion & Books Editor Amy E. Schwartz for a conversation about the importance of Jewish literature and how he shapes and passes on stories of American Jewish life, especially to children. In celebration of Jewish American Heritage Month.
