Out of Egypt: A Memoir

This richly colored memoir chronicles the exploits of a flamboyant Jewish family, from its bold arrival in cosmopolitan Alexandria to its defeated exodus three generations later. In elegant and witty prose, André Aciman introduces us to the marvelous eccentrics who shaped his life--Uncle Vili, the strutting daredevil, soldier, salesman, and spy; the two grandmothers, the Princess and the Saint, who gossip in six languages; Aunt Flora, the German refugee who warns that Jews lose everything "at least twice in their lives." And through it all, we come to know a boy who, even as he longs for a wider world, does not want to be led, forever, out of Egypt.

More than half the people in the Western world lead non-- religious, secular lives. And many of these non-- religious people are seeking spirituality. Can you have spirituality without being religious? Can you have spirituality and still be rational? Is there an ethical dimension to spirituality? Do beauty and the arts fit into spirituality? Are science and spirituality in conflict? Can we learn from the mysticism of the past? Do Zionism and Israel have a spiritual dimension? Is spiritual the best word we can find for the experience? Can secular spirituality enrich my life? The International Institute for Secular Humanistic Judaism's 2001 conference explored the relevance of secular spirituality, its roots, progression over time, and expression in the arts, literature and science. This volume offers the collected proceedings of the conference. Included are presentations by noted author Andre Aciman; Rabbi Sherwin Wine, founder of the Humanistic Judaism movement; Yaakov Malkin, founder of the first Jewish community center in Israel, and other scholars.
