Stuart, FL - How did Americans lose their trust in journalism and higher education? They used to be pillars of our society and established resources for factual information. What happened?
Frank Bruni, a prominent journalist and bestselling author, has thought about that question and will share his insights with the Treasure Coast community as the next speaker in the 2025 Rappaport Speaker Series at Temple Beit HaYam in Stuart on Tuesday, March 25 at 7 p.m.
Bruni was a staff writer at the New York Times for 25 years, serving as a White House correspondent, the Rome bureau chief, the paper’s chief restaurant critic, and an op-ed columnist. He now shares his insider perspective with students in media-oriented classes at the Sanford School of Public Policy at Duke University.
Bruni is also the author of five New York Times bestsellers including his most recent book The Age of Grievance. In it he explores why Americans are so angry and what they can do about it.
Tickets are available online for $35 at www.RappaportSpeakerSeries.com. The presentation includes a talk by Frank Bruni followed by a question and answer session with the audience.
The Rappaport Speaker Series is an ongoing effort to increase dialogue and understanding within the broader community. It is supported by a grant to Temple Beit HaYam from the Phyllis and Jerome Lyle Rappaport Foundation. It has featured speakers like David Gergen, advisor to both Republican and Democratic presidents; Marty Baron, former editor of The Washington Post; and Mitch Albom, author famous for his books including Tuesdays with Morrie.
“It is our great pleasure to invite the community to join us at Temple Beit HaYam each year to hear from significant thought leaders and engage us in dialogue,” said Rabbi Matt Durbin. “We’re grateful to the Rappaport family for creating and sustaining this unique forum for intelligent conversation.”
