Join member Jan Gordon for a journey into how her parents taught her to pursue meaning: in family; in Judaism; in political action; in books; and in science. We’ll hear Jan’s reflections on their intentional parenting, which she rediscovered while writing her memoir, All The Ways You Taught Us, published last year.
In 1950, Jan’s father, Mort Gordon, waving a new PhD in theoretical physics, and going blind from retinitis pigmentosa, married Bernice Rubinstein, who walked with a limp from spina bifida. Neither of them had a job. For almost 50 years, Mort designed innovative particle accelerators with Bernice as his reader. Driven by curiosity and love, they addressed one challenge after the other and taught family members, students, and friends how to move forward with purpose.
