DON’T MISS OUR NEXT LIVESTREAM EVENT

MJBW Summer Reading Guide 
featuring Elissa Goldstein, Bram Presser and Tali Lavi
What happens when three Jewish literary tragics enter a room to talk books? (Admittedly, it is a virtual room.) Expect passions to be stirred, differences of opinion to be had, raucous laughter and a river of tears to be experienced – and that’s only at your end. It’s Melbourne Jewish Book Week’s bookish version of Margaret and David. Elissa, Bram and Tali will be previewing some of the biggest forthcoming books, talking about their recent reads and what books they’re looking forward to reading over summer.

Supported by our media partner The Australian Jewish News

Tuesday 10th November
8.00 - 9.00 pm AEDT 
FREE via Zoom – registration required
