Jewish Book Series: “The Most Human” by Adam Nimoy

Author Adam Nimoy will join us virtually for a conversation about his memoir,
moderated by Rabbi Daniel Bogard.

**“Adam Nimoy has written about the challenges growing up with his famous
father and about their estrangement later in life. The fact that Leonard and
Adam found a way to rebuild their relationship should resonate with anyone who
struggles with difficult family dynamics.” – George Takei**

**“Engaging and immensely relatable, while at the same time offering deeply
profound insights into Adam Nimoy’s personal relationships, particularly with
his famous father.” – Eugene Roddenberry Jr.,** CEO Roddenberry Entertainment

While the tabloids and fan publications portrayed the Nimoys as a “close
family,” to his son Adam, Leonard Nimoy was a total stranger. The actor was as
inscrutable as the iconic half-Vulcan science officer he portrayed on Star
Trek, even to those close to him. Now, his son’s poignant memoir explores
their complicated relationship and how it informed his views on marriage,
parenting, and later, sobriety. Despite their differences, both men ventured
down parallel paths: marriages leading to divorce, battling addiction, and
finding recovery. Most notably, both men struggled to take the ninth step in
their AA journey: to make amends with each other. Discover how the son of
Spock learned to navigate this tumultuous relationship—from Shabbat dinners to
basement AA meetings—and how he was finally able to reconcile with his
father—and with himself.
