Greater Naples Jewish Book Festival
Ten for 10!
By Robin Mintz, Greater Naples Jewish Book Festival Chairperson
We are excited to bring you the 2024-2025 Jewish Book Festival!
This year, in honor of our 10th anniversary, we have invited 10 outstanding authors, representing a variety of genres. Whether you are an avid reader or just enjoy a fascinating speaker, this year’s Jewish Book Festival provides something for everyone. From December through April, the Jewish Book Festival, brought to you by Jewish Federation of Greater Naples in cooperation with Jewish Book Council, will continue to be a key contributor to the cultural life of our community.
The festival would not be possible without our patrons, sponsors and, of course, you — the community members who attend these events. Your generosity and overwhelming support are a testament to our amazing community — a community that understands the value of cultural arts. Each of this season’s events will not only feature a nationally renowned author and a moderator chosen from our local community but will also provide an occasion to socialize and enjoy a little nosh.
Our first week of patron sign-ups exceeded last year’s. It is possible that we could sell out the season. As you read the Jewish Book Festival spread in the Federation Star (on pages 12-13), you will find the schedule of events, book overviews, registration and patron information. We hope you will consider being a part of this year’s “Ten for 10” festival.
The 2024-2025 Jewish Book Festival will kick off on Monday, Dec. 9 at 7 p.m. with author Adam Nimoy, son of Leonard Nimoy (aka Star Trek’s character, Spock), discussing his book, “The Most Human: Reconciling with My Father, Lenard Nimoy” (sponsored exclusively by Ginsberg Eye Ophthalmology).
