Jewish Book Month Event Speaks to the Heart

For the past eighty years, Jewish Book Month – a four-week long pre-Chanukah festival of books sponsored by the Jewish Book Council – has taken JCCs and other organizations by storm. It is the chance for authors, new and veteran, to tour the country and display their literary wares.

This past Wednesday in Monsey marked one of the first lectures to inaugurate this year’s celebrations. In a joint event of JCC of Rockland and Chabad of New City, Mrs. Sarah Karmely spoke about her new book Words to Hear With Your Heart: A Journal of Jewish Inspiration for Your Marriage, Your Soul, and Your Life, and her upcoming gift version, Thoughts to Hear with Your Heart: On Jewish Life and Inspiration.
