Where Are You? A Conversation With Rabbi Josh Franklin Interviewed By Steven Gaines
East Hampton Library
Where Are You? A Conversation with Rabbi Josh Franklin Interviewed by Steven Gaines Sunday, June 7 | 3:00 PM
The first question God ever asks in the Bible is not a commandment, not a law — it’s a question: “Where are you?”Spoken to Adam in the Garden of Eden, it has echoed across every generation since.
In his new book Where Are You? Finding Yourself in the Bible, Rabbi Josh Franklin charts a journey through the emotional geographies of Torah — beginnings, wandering, revelation, rupture, exile, and return — showing that the landscapes of Scripture are maps of the human heart. Weaving together biblical text, midrash, psychology, and personal story, Franklin offers an invitation to locate oneself, spiritually, morally, and emotionally, in the stories that have shaped civilization.
Rabbi Franklin will be in conversation with Steven Gaines — bestselling author of Philistines at the Hedgerow and The Love You Make, longtime Wainscott resident, and co-founder of the Hamptons International Film Festival — for an afternoon of ideas, stories, and the kind of questions worth sitting with.
Books will be available for purchase and signing. Free and open to all.
