Singer, and Isaac Bashevis Singer reveal about each sibling's views of Jewish life, of the future and past of the Jews, of their contemporary world, and of one another. Cost: $260/members & students; $300/non-members. (Register by Sept. 3 for an early bird discount - $25 off.) For details and to register:
