Alden Solovy is a voice of our age. His award-winning essays, writings, poetry and prayers infuse the daily routine of our faith with equal parts humanity and miraculous mystery. His gift of writing in such a familiar voice about one's intimate thoughts, doubts, worries and dreams makes him a poet of the heart. His prayers reveal the universal experience we all share and it is the revelation of that universal truth that connects us and inspires us to have faith in a God so wise, so powerful and so "all." He has written nearly 500 new liturgical pieces, has published numerous anthologies and the book, Jewish Prayers of Hope and Healing.
Hear the celebrated Alden Solovy speak at Congregation Kol Ami on February 20th, 2015 at 8 PM services. This event is free and open to public. All are welcome! He will be speaking on the theme "To Pray is to Remember."
