WISE AGING: LIVING WITH JOY, RESILIENCE, AND SPIRIT
Dr. Sandra Block 
 
How can aging be a good thing? Aging all too often feels like drifting downhill to a place we don’t want to go. But each year new doors open with
opportunities, even while others close with loss. We have the power to prepare, to become stronger, more resilient, and navigate these challenges. Will we turn toward the opportunities, and find new joy and meaning in life? How can we make
the most of this time, and develop into deeper, wiser people?

How is tonight different from all other nights? For Jacob Rappaport, a Jewish soldier in the Union Army, it is a question his commanders have answered for him: on Passover, 1862, he is ordered to murder his own uncle, who is plotting to assassinate Abraham Lincoln. After this harrowing mission, Jacob is recruited to pursue another enemy agent—this time not to murder the spy, but to marry her. Based on real historical figures, this eagerly awaited novel from award-winning author Dara Horn delivers multilayered, page-turning storytelling at its best.Update this content.
