This year we've got a mix of in-person and virtual events planned for you to hear authors read excerpts from their books, answer your questions, and share their inspiration and challenges in writing these words. This series spotlights diverse stories from across the Jewish world.

Join us online and in person for the 2025 Jewish Book Festival!

Come to the in-person events or tune in virtually where you'll be able to listen as authors read excerpts from their books, answer your questions, and share their inspiration and challenges in writing these works.

Our event kicks off and wraps up with an in-person event at the JCC featuring a panel of local Jewish authors.

Monday through Thursday of the festival at 1:00pm we will feature a conversation with a different author via Zoom. Take a long lunch and join us! There are two evening Zoom events as well if you can't join us midday.
