ow! We have heard from so many of you who enjoyed the Jewish Book Festival kickoff event on Dec. 3 with Mitch Albom, at which he discussed his recently released New York Times bestseller “The Little Liar.” Here is just a sampling of some of the superlatives we have received from many of the 650 guests in attendance: “Mitch was mesmerizing, amazing, outstanding, deserving of the standing ovation, exceeded my expectations, privileged to be in attendance, fabulous, dynamic, heart-warming, passionate speaker.” We are so excited that the kickoff was such a success. Our volunteers worked hard to make sure the evening went off without a hitch. And it did! We look forward to seeing you at our Jan. 25 event with Debby Applegate, author of “Madam, The Biography of Polly Adler, Icon of the Jazz Age.” Come at 3:10 p.m. to enjoy light refreshments and an opportunity to socialize. The event will begin at 3:30 p.m.
Arlene and Donald Shapiro have their book personalized by Mitch Albom.
