Susan Silverman grew up with parents who were, both before and
after a devastating loss, atheists. Yet, as a young adult, she
shocked everyone who knew her ( But you were elected Class Flirt in
high school!" ) and became a rabbi. What was not surprising,
however, was that she built her own big, unwieldy family through
both birth and adoption, something she had intended from childhood.
With three daughters and two sons ( We produce girls and import
boys" ), this unique family becomes a metaphor for the world's
contradictions and complexities,a microcosm of the tragedy and joy,
hope and despair, cruelty and compassion, predictability and
absurdity of this world we all live in. A meditation on identity,
faith, and belonging,one that's as funny as it is moving, Casting
Lots will resonate with anyone who has struggled to find their
place in the world and to understand the significance of that
place.
