Join us for an exciting evening with Author and Therapist, Dr. Sara Glass, author of Kissing Girls on Shabbat. This program includes light appetizers, and in depth interview with the author in conversation with Lieb Swartz-Brownstein, MSW, LICSW

Growing up in the Hasidic community of Brooklyn’s Borough Park, Sara Glass knew one painful truth: what was expected of her and what she desperately wanted were impossibly opposed. Tormented by her attraction to women and trapped in a loveless arranged marriage, she found herself unable to conform to her religious upbringing, and soon she made the difficult decision to walk away from the world she knew.
