By Robin Mintz, Greater Naples Jewish Book Festival Chairperson

Community support for the 10th Annual Greater Naples Jewish Book Festival has been outstanding. It is heartwarming to see all the names of those who have already signed up to be a Patron. Thank you!

We anticipate a record turnout for this year’s Book Festival events. The best way to ensure that you will have a seat for each event is to become a Patron. Don’t miss out — visit jewishbookfestival.org or call Reneé at 239-263-4205 today.

The Opening Event for our 10th Jewish Book Festival is Monday evening, Dec. 9, 7 p.m. at the Nina Iser Jewish Cultural Center. Adam Nimoy, son of Leonard Nimoy, will talk about his book “The Most Human: Reconciling with my Father, Leonard Nimoy” and share the challenges of growing up with his famous father. Adam’s book will be available for sale that evening. Stay after the presentation to have your book signed and enjoy some light refreshments.

This year’s book festival lineup includes an assortment of "great reads.” With a wide variety of genres, there is something for everyone. The very gifted Carole J. Greene, writer, editor and JBF committee member will provide us with a “sneak preview” of several of the books over the course of the festival. Her first review, which will be of “When Women Ran Fifth Avenue,” will appear in the January issue of the Federation Star. (The event is on Wednesday, Jan. 29 at 1 p.m.).

I look forward to seeing everyone at the opening event on Dec. 9.
