Book Festival: Mazeltov by Eli Zuzovsky
Register Here
An in-person event at the Alper JCC
Book Summary: At a banquet hall, at the onset of war, Adam Weizmann?s bar mitzvah party turns into a glorious catastrophe. On the cusp of manhood and the verge of a nervous breakdown Adam has been bracing for his special day, mired in family neuroses and national dysfunction.
In a chorus of voices, a fractious cast of well-wishers narrates Adam's coming-of-age in Israel: his newly devout father and the mystic rituals he practiced on his young son; his best friend, Abbie, who points the way to joyful transgression; Khalil, a Palestinian poet, who offers a glimpse of a different way to be; and Adam himself, filled with shame and desire as he faces the brokenness of his world.
At once tender and lustful, a work of scathing satire and piercing insight, Mazeltov is a wholly original vision of a young man's quest to know his own heart.

Book Festival: Isola by Allegra Goodman
Isola by Allegra Goodman
An in-person event at Bet Shira
Book Summary:
An epic tale of love, faith, and defiance. Marguerite, once heir to a fortune, is orphaned and dragged to New France by her volatile guardian, who squanders her inheritance. There, she bonds with his servant, and their forbidden relationship leads to brutal punishment: they are abandoned on a remote island with no hope of rescue.
Once a privileged child who dressed in gowns and laced pearls in her hair, Marguerite must battle the elements to survive. As the weather turns and ice blankets the island, she discovers a faith she never knew she needed.
Inspired by a true 16th-century heroine, Isola is a timeless story of a woman?s fight for survival.
