And she joins us from the West Coast to talk about her latest book, Einstein and the Rabbi: Searching for the Soul. In this book, Rabbi Levy explores the meaning and purpose of the soul, inspired by the famous correspondence between Albert Einstein and a grieving father.

Marcus, a remarkable hero during the Holocaust and human rights advocate around the world after the War ended. Levy's book intertwines her unraveling of this amazing man's story with her own spiritual journey, as well as her insights for all of us to listen to our soul's yearning, no matter our own religious faith.

Roberta Marcus Leiner, LMSW, is the daughter of Rabbi Robert Marcus, whose heroic story during and following the Holocaust is written about in the book, Einstein and the Rabbi: Searching for the Soul, by the bestselling author and rabbi, Naomi Levy. (You can hear Levy's interview on this program on the podcast from April 8, 2018.) Roberta Leiner is currently the Chief of Population and Community Health Planning at Hudson River Healthcare and she worked for many years as Senior VP of Agency Relations and Managing Director of Caring Commission for the UJA Federation of New York, the world's largest local philanthropic organization.
Roberta, who was born two months following the passing of Rabbi Marcus, will join us from NY to talk about living with the legacy of her larger-than-life father and how it has driven her own life, including her focus on making sure that no one feels that they are on the outside looking in, but that we are all fully embraced by a caring and compassionate community!

Bestselling author, Rabbi Naomi Levy, has appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show, the Today show, and NPR. And she joins us from the West Coast to talk about her latest book, Einstein and the Rabbi: Searching for the Soul. In this book, Rabbi Levy explores the meaning and purpose of the soul, inspired by the famous correspondence between Albert Einstein and a grieving father. As Levy discovered on her 3-year journey to uncover his story, this "grieving father" was Rabbi Robert S. Marcus, a remarkable hero during the Holocaust and human rights advocate around the world after the War ended. Levy's book intertwines her unraveling of this amazing man's story with her own spiritual journey, as well as her insights for all of us to listen to our soul's yearning, no matter our own religious faith.

Aralyn has appeared on numerous television shows on the local and national level as an ambassador of what makes Austin such a great place to live.
Aralyn is one of Austin’s favorite “Keep Austin Weird” characters, featured on HGTV, Discovery Channel, both national and local CBS networks, various radio stations, and local venues like Zachary Scott Theater. She is co-author of IN THE WEST, one of the longest running monologue shows in Austin, which also played the Kennedy Center and was later adapted into the movie DEEP IN THE HEART.
Aralyn became a performance artist, storyteller and non fiction monologist in her sixties. She performed eight original pieces in her series “Aralyn’s Home Economics” and was then accepted to perform her newest show in NYC at the International Solo Theater Fetival in Nov 2013.
Aralyn recently completed her first book, an anthology about child-free women who came of age in the 1960s. KID ME NOT features stories of women who made the decision to not have children.
