JREADS is a joint venture between the Jewish Life department and the Authors + Innovators Festival that is designed to bring books and people together and spur discussion around important topics or ideas.

The first JREADS book is Streams of Shat­tered Con­scious­ness: A Chron­i­cle of the First 50 Days of the Israel-Hamas War by Rab­bi David-Seth Kir­sh­n­er. Read the book in advance and join the Lunch and Learn on Tuesday, November 19 at 12:00 pm. You can purchase your book at JFEST on September 22. Registration information for this program is coming soon.
