Mandel JCC Jewish Book Festival with Jenna Blum (at ST-KA)

Thursday, February 7, 2019 • 2 Adar I 5779

7:00 PM - 9:00 PMSuburban Temple-Kol Ami

Please join us on Thursday, February 7 at 7:00 pm as ST-KA hosts the Mandel JCC's Jewish Book Festival with author Jenna Blum. Jenna Blum speaks about her latest book, The Lost Family. Spanning three decades, The Lost Family tells the story of a husband devastated by the grief of his Auschwitz survival while the rest of his family perished. Peter, now remarried, remains haunted by the memory of his first family. A husband devastated by grief, a wife frustrated by a ghost she cannot banish, and a daughter's sensitivity to suffering she cannot fathom all merge in this emotional tale.

Reserve your seat through the JCC website!

We are looking for some homemade bakers or store-bought bakers, hostesses and greeters to assist in making this evening event successful. Call 260.414.8128 or e-mail Ellen Weber at elleweb1@me.com for more information.
