Join us for a special event with award-winning author Dara Horn as she shares her new book, One Little Goat: A Passover Catastrophe. This brilliantly illustrated and hilariously chaotic take on the classic Passover song Chad Gadya brings the beloved tale to life in a way you’ve never seen before.

In collaboration with the Jewish Review of Books, Dara will discuss the inspiration behind One Little Goat, the enduring power of Passover storytelling, and the deeper themes hidden beneath the holiday’s most mischievous melody. A review of One Little Goat will be published in the upcoming Spring edition of the Jewish Review of Books, making this event a perfect opportunity to engage with thought-provoking ideas and literary insights.

Come for the laughter, stay for the learning—and maybe even leave with a little more appreciation for that ever-troublesome goat!

Each ticket includes a copy of the book One Little Goat: A Passover Catastrophe.
