This month we will discuss the interview with Sasha Sagan found in the most recent issue of the Humanistic Judaism Magazine (Fall 2019). Sasha is the daughter of Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan. Her new book, For Small Creatures Such as We: Rituals for Finding Meaning in Our Unlikely World, is a book for secular people encouraging ritual as a means to process change and celebrate the wonder of our world. 

Some of our discussion questions will include:

• What do you see as the relationship between science, the wonder of our world and rituals?

• How are Jewish rituals and celebrations related to science and nature?

• How does the scientific philosophy of questioning and debate inform rituals within Humanistic Judaism?

• What are some rituals you engage in that celebrate the wonder of our world?
