The Adolph & Rose Levis Jewish Community Center (Levis JCC) announces the Alicia & Jeff Spero 33rd Annual Book & Author Luncheon featuring presentations by four best-selling authors. Presented by the Levis JCC’s Phyllis & Harvey Sandler Center, the event will take place on Tuesday, November 12 at 9am at Boca West Country Club, 20583 Boca West Dr. A well-established cultural hub in South Palm Beach County offering enriching and engaging programming throughout the year, the Levis JCC Sandler Center proudly welcomes respected authors Lauren Aliza Green, Adelle Waldman, Samantha Greene Woodruff and Elizabeth Silver during this year’s program.
“We love beginning the season with one of our most eagerly anticipated events,” said Stephanie Owitz, Director of Arts, Culture, and Learning at the Sandler Center. “We extend our heartfelt thanks to this year’s distinguished guest authors and our vibrant literary community, whose ongoing support heightens our commitment to nurturing lifelong learning.”
A few words from the authors:
Lauren Aliza Green, author of “The World After Alice” says, “Now more than ever, the power of literature to broaden our perspectives and deepen our empathy is crucial. The chance to explore this in a room of such thoughtful and passionate readers is a gift I deeply cherish.”
“My novel deals with the problems working-class Americans face,” said Adelle Waldman, author of “Help Wanted.” “Participating in the Book & Author Luncheon is particularly meaningful to me, as it shows that Levis JCC members are engaged with issues that address larger questions of fairness and economic justice throughout the country.”
“The engaged and vibrant community at the Levis JCC made it one of my favorite stops on my last book tour,” said Samantha Greene Woodruff, author of “The Trade Off.” “I am honored to be back to discuss my book about a young Jewish woman fighting for her place on Wall Street in the 1920s, in spite of her gender and religion.”
“It’s a tremendous honor to be a part of this event,” said Elizabeth Silver, author of “The Majority.” “I’m thrilled to be able to come to Florida and speak about my novel about a fictional first female Supreme Court Justice in America, at the same time as our country is learning of similar themes explored in the novel about firsts, judicial changes, and the private lives of some of the most powerful people in the land.”
In addition to author presentations, guests will enjoy coffee, pastries, lunch and valet parking. Tickets are $140 per person and are available for purchase at levisjcc.org/culture or by calling the Box Office at 561-558-2520.
