[ha-Safran] Recommended Reads: New & Award-Winning Jewish Fiction

[Rachel Kamin via Hasafran]

Dear Friends,

I will be presenting on new and award-winning Jewish fiction for the American 
Jewish University "B'Yachad Together" 
Program on Tuesday, November 17 at 2:00pm PT/4:00pm CT/5:00pm ET.

Recommended Reads: New & Award-Winning Jewish Fiction
Learn all about the new and award winning Jewish fiction titles that you should 
have on your to-read list right now.
Synagogue librarian and book club facilitator Rachel Kamin will cover literary 
fiction and genre fiction, buzz-worthy names in Jewish literature and the 
lesser gems that you may have missed, the best books for discussion groups, and 
notable forthcoming titles.
Bring your thoughts and opinions about the books you've read recently for a 
lively audience discussion, too!

Some of the books I'm discussing were included in the AJL Fiction Award 
Committee's presentation at the 2020 Digital Conference this summer but I'll 
also review newer titles too. I would love to see some familiar faces on my 
screen (but no pressure since there is a registration cost!)

To Be a Man, on Thursday, November 5 at 12pm PT/2:00pm CT/3:00 pm ET (free of
