Night 8
Night 8 - WE BELIEVE… IN SCIENCE
Sasha Sagan and Ann Druyan
Back by popular demand, the intergenerational power duo, Emmy Award-winning writer, director, producer Ann Druyan and her equally illuminating daughter, author Sasha Sagan join us for the 8th night of Hanukkah. On this night of miracles, they remind us of the awe and wonder of scientific discovery through the ages.
Did you miss their Reboot Ideas conversation this year? You can catch it here.
Sasha Sagan’s essays and interviews about life and death through a secular lens have appeared in The Cut, O. the Oprah Magazine, and elsewhere. Her new book, For Small Creatures Such As We: Rituals for Finding Meaning in Our Unlikely World is an exploration of the marvels of nature, as revealed by science, that require no faith in order to be believed.
Ann Druyan was creative director of NASA’s legendary Voyager Interstellar Message. She co-created the motion picture Contact with her late husband, Carl Sagan. They co-wrote the original Cosmos series. She wrote, produced and directed Cosmos: A SpaceTime Odyssey for which she won the Emmy and Peabody Awards, and Cosmos: Possible Worlds, series and companion book.

IF YOU’VE FOUND LIGHT IN THESE GIFTS, GIVE YOUR OWN LIGHT
Reboot’s Give Light project re-imagines the concept of gift giving during Hanukkah as a time for art, community, and tikkun olam. This year, enjoy eight gifts of imagination from Reboot’s culture creators. We asked our community to share the music, art and ideas giving them light right now. We will share those gifts with you, in hopes you will find your own light and pass it along.
From December 10-18, we will offer quick bits of content to read, watch and hear - along with recommendations of places that need your light.
