 <strong>When We're Born\, We Forget Everything</strong></em></p>\n<p>From 
 the creator of the internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter project "Gi
 rls in Trouble"\, Rabins wrote a memoir following her journey from a secul
 ar Jewish childhood to owning ancient teachings and finding her own meanin
 gs in them\, refracted through feminist interpretations of the lives of Bi
 blical women.</p>\n<p>As a self-described "90s suburban high school weirdo
 \," Rabins spent her time practicing violin and rolling cigarettes behind 
 the mall while secretly dreaming of setting out on a spiritual quest no on
 e around her seemed to understand. She often found herself drawn to the mo
 re&nbsp\;ritualistic and rigorous&nbsp\;Judaism that her parents had aband
 oned to assimilate and &ldquo\;become American.&rdquo\; In college\, a cha
 nce meeting led her on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem to study rabbinical texts
  and play bluegrass fiddle on the street for cash. But those two years of 
 immersing herself in traditional observance were only the start of a journ
 ey full of twists and turns.</p>\n<p><em>When We&rsquo\;re Born We Forget 
 Everything</em> follows Rabins's relentless\, often embarrassing and somet
 imes enlightening search for the sacred in everyday life as she tours the 
 United States playing with a klezmer-punk band\, falls in and out of love\
 , scrapes through the initiations of motherhood and witnesses the beauty a
 nd danger of mysticism.&nbsp\;Rabins braids this personal narrative with t
 he hidden stories of biblical women\, uncovering a path of queer identity\
 , feminist awakening and spiritual self-invention. This lyrical\, searchin
 g memoir is a meditation on longing\, lineage and what it takes to find me
 aning in a fractured world.</p>\n<p></p>\n<hr />\n<p></p>\n<p>If you have
