Author Corinne Copnick

Virtual Event

Rab­bi Corinne Cop­nick has enjoyed an inno­v­a­tive pro­fes­sion­al life steeped in the arts: radio actress, art gallery own­er, award-win­ning writer, and moth­er of 4. An ordained rab­bi, at 79 she cruised the world as Guest Staff. Now 88, a for­mer rab­binic court Gov­er­nor, she still lec­tures, writes, and pod­casts on vital topics. Title: Mir­a­cles Are What You Make of Them Description: Mir­a­cles Are What You Make of Them is an oasis of hope in our chaot­ic world. An inspi­ra­tional take on con­tem­po­rary life intend­ed for every­one, this 2023 book describes the ​“Will to Con­tin­ue” and the ​“Will to Hope” as inter­twined — along with the impe­tus to act on them — at any age. In a time of increas­ing soci­etal and polit­i­cal pres­sures, ground­break­ing tech­no­log­i­cal advances, height­ened glob­al ten­sions, and a loom­ing cli­mate cri­sis, what val­ues sus­tain us? What gives our lives pur­pose? Who shares our mem­o­ries? How can we cre­ate our future? Writ­ten from the per­spec­tive of a vin­tage orig­i­nal (an elder, learned Jew­ish woman), Mir­a­cles Are What You Make of Them res­onates with Bib­li­cal and Tal­mu­dic insights high­light­ed by real-life sto­ries that reflect over­com­ing cir­cum­stances. The author’s deeply-felt words (and lyri­cal poems) become an eth­i­cal will for trans­for­ma­tive liv­ing. “…we are nev­er too old to teach younger gen­er­a­tions how to be hope­ful too.” CLICK HERE TO REGISTER
