ABQ Virtual Jewish Book Fest
Annual Book Fest is Virtual This Year
For the past 15 years, each Fall the JCC has hosted a diverse slate of Jewish authors with newly published books on tour through the Jewish Book Council. This year is different in two ways.
• More authors have accepted our invitations, and each will appear virtually via Zoom.
• The lineup as a whole represents the best of fiction, nonfiction, and memoir, featuring topics of Jewish interest.
Eight acclaimed books and authors will be highlighted in this year's festival.
Coming Soon – in the safety and comfort of your home!
