Allen and Joan Bildner Center for the Study of Jewish Life at Rutgers University sponsoring RBG's List of Brave and Brilliant Jewish Women. An in person public talk at May 18 at 7:00pm at the Douglass Student Center, 100 George Street, New Brunswick.

Nadine Epstein, editor of Moment Magazine, discusses her collaboration with late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on a book about inspiring women. Politicians, artists, scientists, and more, these trailblazing role models—like Ginsburg herself—were all guided by Jewish values to change the world.

Free and open to the public, the talk will be held on Thursday, May 18, 7:30 pm, at the Douglass Student Center, 100 George Street New Brunswick.

Free campus parking is available with online vehicle registration. Light refreshments will be served following the talk, which is presented by the Allen and Joan Bildner Center for the Study of Jewish Life at Rutgers University. For more information and to register, click here.
