Hear Eden Pearlstein, a long-time friend of FIS, recite poetry from his new book Nothing is For Everyone.  Peter Cole, award winning poet, says “Eden’s book is a wise and energizing debut collection suffused with music, mysticism, tenderness and wit. Deeply, devotedly hybrid of influence and expression. This wild collection of poetry draws on rabbinic linguistics and kabbalistic meditation, free jazz and hip hop.  Marcel Duchamp and the Magid of Mezritch—all to reveal the permutational quality of language itself: its instability, resistance to containment, and divine fault lines”.

Eden will read from and discuss his new book and other creative projects in the context of ancient and contemporary mystical Jewish thought and poetics with Rabbi Shaul Magid. They will also be joined by the inimitable Basya Schechter who will perform selections from her musical collaborations with Eden and Shaul. 

Books will be available for purchase at the event
