Fly-Fishing: The Sacred Art
|
 Thursday, December 6, 7:00 PM
Library Program Room
Fly-Fishing - The Sacred Art with Rabbi Eric Eisenkramer
Join us for a talk and fly-fishing demo (depending on the weather) by Rabbi Eric Eisenkramer about his recently published book Fly-Fishing-The Sacred Art, Casting a Fly as a Spiritual Practice, which he co-authored with Rev. Michael Attas, MD. The book is a unique exploration of fly-fishing as a spiritual practice. The authors, an Episcopal priest and a rabbi, share what fly-fishing has to teach us about reflection, awe and the wonder of the natural world, the benefits of solitude, the blessing of community and the search for the Divine.
Rabbi Eisenkramer is creator of The Fly Fishing Rabbi: A Blog about Trout, God and Religion, and a contributor to Trout magazine. He is the spiritual leader of Temple Shearith Israel in Ridgefield, Connecticut, and he fishes the cold-water streams of New York, Connecticut and the Northeast. No registration.
