See Bestselling Author A.J. Jacobs on the Transformative Power of Costumes

At Congregation Rodeph Sholom’s PurimFest │ Sunday, March 5 at 4:00 PM

Do the clothes we wear make us happier? Bestselling author A.J. Jacobs (The Year of Living Biblically) will answer that question. Join A.J. this Sunday at the Free PurimFest Open House at Congregation Rodeph Sholom at 7 West 83rd Street as he takes us through The Transformative Power of Costumes.

In his literary adventures, A.J. has worn a robe with sandals (living biblically for a year), colonial breeches with a tricorn hat (pledging to live by the U.S. constitution in 1789 for one month strictly and literally), and even a 100% plastic-free outfit (a 24-hour experiment in the present year). It is safe to say that he knows how the clothes we wear can have a surprisingly powerful effect on our happiness and outlook.

By making his life one grand experiment, he reveals truths that dare us to see our habits and beliefs in a new light. A.J. will make us laugh while his insights will compel us to think differently. Oh, and A.J. welcomes your costumes, although not required. Reception to follow.

Please limit comments to 150 words and keep them civil and relevant to the article at hand. Comments are closed after six days. Our primary goal is to create a safe and respectful space where a broad spectrum of voices can be heard. We welcome diverse viewpoints and encourage readers to engage critically with one another’s ideas, but never at the expense of civility. Disagreement is expected—even encouraged—but it must be expressed with care and consideration. Comments that take cheap shots, escalate conflict, or veer into ideological warfare detract from the constructive spirit we aim to cultivate.
