May 14, 2025 -JCC Book Talk: Book of David by Michael Gordon
JCC Book Talk: Book of David by Michael Gordon
Event Description Join the JCC for a Book Talk by Dr. Michael Gordon on his book, The Book of David which shares his experiences and life lessons learned from caring for his special needs brother. "Caring for a sibling with special needs presents families with a gauntlet of challenges and responsibilities. But while the downsides of sibling caregiving understandably take center stage, few books consider how managing the less-than-perfect among us can also enrich us all-individually, within our families, and across the community at large. This "memoir as self-help" book addresses what goals and principles we should set for ourselves and our special needs siblings. With humor and affection, the author uses his brother's life history to address issues that arise around education, employment, health care, family functioning, and religious observance. Dr. Gordon, a child psychologist, parlays his extensive clinical experience to explore the many trials and triumphs that can arise when one sibling cares for another."
