Simon Family JCC’s annual Lee & Bernard Jaffe* Family Jewish Book Festival returns with the promise of a great series of author engagements and to expand participants’ minds on such topics as:
• Mindfulness and de-stressing,
• How the short stories of the Forward helped inspire and inform readers of immigrant life,
• The impact of tracing one’s family history,
• The dynamic society and culture that is Israel today, and
• How students are changing what it means to live a Jewish life.
