When We're Born We Forget Everything

As a self-described ‘90s suburban high school weirdo, Alicia Jo Rabins embarks on a personal and spiritual journey that explores her transformation from a secular Jewish childhood to embracing her identity as a modern queer woman grounded in ancient teachings. Blending her experiences touring with a klezmer-punk band, navigating love and motherhood, with feminist interpretations of biblical women, her memoir is a lyrical meditation on seeking meaning amid life's chaos. Through her candid storytelling, Rabins uncovers themes of longing, lineage, and spiritual self-invention in a fractured world.
