The discussion is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. in Room 386 of Sierra Hall, located on the west side of the campus near Prairie Street and Etiwanda Avenue.
The Modern Jewish Girl's Guide to Guilt is a collection of essays by Jewish women writers about everything from pedicures on Yom Kippur to divorcing "Mr. Jewish Right." The book has received critical acclaim, including a review in the Los Angeles Times that says it contains "strong, moving stories about what it means…to be a Jewish woman in today's world." The book may be purchased at the event and autographed by the author.
Ellenson, the daughter of a rabbi and a Christian convert to Judaism, will talk about some of the fascinating incidents featured in the book. She will also answer questions from the audience.
Her appearance is sponsored by Cal State Northridge's Jewish Studies Program and the Women's Studies Department.
For more information about the talk, call CSUN's Jewish Studies Program at (818) 677-3007.
