Do we as individuals have the power to relieve suffering? To help fix the world? Explore the answers with noted novelist and activist Talia Carner, the keynote speaker of this year’s On the Cutting Edge... Today’s Jewish Woman: A Women’s Symposium on Sunday, October 22.
 
Ms. Carner believes in the power of the individual to change society. Her novel, Puppet Child, is a call to action that initiated legislation resulting in the Protective Parent Reform Act. Critics praise her work “as one who saves the world, one child at a time.”
 
An impressive and diverse roster of speakers will also explore critical issues facing our society today, sessions will include ethical questions in science-“Forbidden Science-What Boundaries Should be Set,” political problems in the Middle East-“Iran’s Threat to the United States and Israel,” and domestic issues that touch our families every day-“The Hazards of Internet Chatrooms.”

As Jews, women and Americans, come gain insight into the headlines, heartaches and hopes of our society and the world.  The day-long program will feature three sessions, each offering four to five topic choices and lively, informative discussions. Come discover how we can truly make a difference, practice tikun olam, and help fix the world.
