We welcome Joan Leegant as our annual Jewish Book Month author. She will talk about her acclaimed short story collection, “Displaced Persons,” which shines a light on American Jewish life and Israel. “Displaced Persons” won the national New American Fiction Prize, was selected by Hadassah Magazine for its One Book, One Hadassah program and was chosen by the Women’s League for Conservative Judaism for its Women’s League Reads program for January 2025.
Joan is an engaging and passionate speaker. Come for an eye-opening conversation about the creative process, writing about Israel, and what it means to be coming out with a Jewish book today in this climate of anti-Israel sentiment.
Books will be available for purchase and signing at the event.
This in-person program will also be offered via Zoom.
