SUMMARY:Book Festival 2020 - Natan Sharansky and Gil Troy
DESCRIPTION:Calgary JCC has joined with the Marcus JCC in Atlanta to offer premium literary programming through this year’s virtual Book Festival. \nNever Alone \nZOOM Webinar Author Talk and Q&A  |  Click for Tickets\n$6 for one virtual ticket or $36 for one virtual ticket and copy of book (shipping included) \nNever Alone is a classic account of courage\, integrity and belonging. In 1977\, Natan Sharansky\, a leading activist for the democratic dissident movement in the Soviet Union and the movement for free Jewish emigration\, was arrested. He spent nine years as a political prisoner\, convicted of treason against the state. In Never Alone\, Natan Sharansky and historian Gil Troy show how Sharansky’s years in prison\, many spent in harsh solitary confinement\, prepared him for his public life\, bringing extraordinary moral clarity and uncompromising honesty to his work as an Israeli politician and the head of the Jewish Agency. Never one who placed expediency ahead of consistent values\, Sharansky was an often-awkward political colleague but always visionary as to where the real threats to freedom lay. Never Alone is suffused with reflections from his time as a political prisoner\, from his seat at the table as history unfolded in Israel and the Middle East\, and his passionate efforts to unite the Jewish people. Written with frankness\, affection\, and humor\, the book offers us profound insights from a man whose fight for individual freedom in the face of overt tyranny would come to define the rest of his life. \nNatan Sharansky is an Israeli politician\, human rights activist and author. He served as Chairman of the Executive of the Jewish Agency from June 2009 to August 2018. \nGil Troy is the award-winning author of The Age of Clinton: America in the 1990s which will be published this October by Thomas Dunne Books of St. Martin׳s Press. A Professor of History at McGill University since 1990\, he is a leading presidential historian\, writing about the history of American presidential elections\, the importance of moderation in American democracy\, and Daniel Patrick Moynihan’s fight as US Ambassador to the UN against the infamous Zionism is Racism resolution.

SUMMARY:Building the Jewish& Cookbook – Pizza Napoletana with Kat Romenow of The Wandering Chew
DESCRIPTION:Pizza Napoletana\, a sheet-pan pizza topped with tomatoes\, parsley and parmesan\, was one of the most popular offerings at Corona Bakery in Montreal. This bakery was opened in 1932 by Kat’s great-grandfather\, Donato Monaco\, after he immigrated to Canada from Italy. While learning to make this pizza\, Kat decided to replace the lard traditionally included in the recipe with vegetable shortening. This was a way to honour both her Italian and Jewish identities\, and carry a tradition rooted in her upbringing forward into her Jewish (by choice) life. \nJoin us every month as together we build the Jewish& Cookbook – recipes from households blending traditions and cultures! \nThis is part of our Jewish& program\, explicitly gathering multi-faith\, multi-cultural and multi-ethnic Jewish families for Jewish exploration\, education and celebration.

SUMMARY:Book Festival 2020 - Esther Safran Foer
DESCRIPTION:Calgary JCC has joined with the Marcus JCC in Atlanta to offer premium literary programming through this year’s virtual Book Festival. \nI Want You to Know We’re Still Here: A Post Holocaust Memoir\nIn conversation with one of her sons — TBD \n5:45pm: Opens with Kristallnacht Commemoration — Rabbi Brian Glusman  |  Click for Tickets\nFree virtual ticket or one virtual ticket and one copy of book for $35USD (includes shipping) \nEsther Safran Foer grew up in a home where the past was too terrible to speak of. The child of parents who were each the sole survivors of their respective families\, for Esther the Holocaust loomed in the backdrop of daily life\, felt but never discussed. The result was a childhood marked by painful silences and continued tragedy. Even as she built a successful career\, married\, and raised three children\, Esther felt herself searching. When Esther’s mother casually mentions an astonishing revelation—that her father had a previous wife and daughter\, both killed in the Holocaust—Esther resolves to find out who they were\, and how her father survived. Armed with only a black-and-white photo and a hand-drawn map\, she travels to Ukraine to find the shtetl where her father hid during the war. What she finds reshapes her identity and finally gives her the opportunity to mourn. The poignant and deeply moving story is not only of Esther’s journey\, but of four generations of survivors\, storytellers\, and memory keepers living in the shadow of the Holocaust\, determined not just to keep the past alive and imbue the present with life and more life. \nEsther Safran Foer was the CEO of Sixth & I\, a center for arts\, ideas\, and religion. She lives in Washington\, D.C.\, with her husband\, Bert. They are the parents of Franklin\, Jonathan\, and Joshua\, and the grandparents of six. According to Jeffrey Goldberg\, editor in chief of The Atlantic\, “Esther Safran Foer is a force of nature: a leader of the Jewish people\, the matriarch of America’s leading literary family\, an eloquent defender of the proposition that memory matters. And now\, a riveting memoirist.”

SUMMARY:Book Festival 2020 - Dale Berra
DESCRIPTION:Calgary JCC has joined with the Marcus JCC in Atlanta to offer premium literary programming through this year’s virtual Book Festival. \nMy Dad\, Yogi\nZOOM Webinar Author Talk and Q&A\n$11USD for one virtual ticket or $24USD for one virtual ticket and paperback copy of book (shipping included) \nEveryone knows Yogi Berra. The American icon was the backbone of the New York Yankees through ten World Series Championships\, managed the National League Champion New York Mets in 1973\, and had an ingenious way with words that remains an indelible part of our lexicon. But no one knew him like his family did. My Dad\, Yogi is Dale Berra’s chronicle of the unshakeable bond with his father and an intimate portrait providing a unique perspective on one of the great sports figures of the 20th Century. Throughout Dale’s youth\, he had a firsthand look at the Major Leagues alongside his dad and Berra’s lifelong family friends Joe DiMaggio\, Mickey Mantle\, and Whitey Ford. It’s no coincidence that all three Berra sons became professional athletes. Dale came up with the Pittsburgh Pirates\, emerging as one of baseball’s most talented young players until he was implicated in a major cocaine scandal\, cutting short his promising career. He writes candidly about his drug problem and of the support he received from Yogi\, who eventually staged the intervention that would save Dale’s life. My Dad\, Yogi is Dale’s tribute to his dad — a treat for baseball fans and a poignant story for all fathers and sons. \nDale Berra\, the son of Yogi Berra\, is a former Major League Baseball infielder who played from 1977 to 1987 for the Pittsburgh Pirates\, the New York Yankees\, and the Houston Astros. He is one of the principles of LTD Enterprises\, which maintains the brand and legacy of his Hall of Fame dad. Dale lives in New Jersey with his wife and their two daughters.

SUMMARY:Book Festival 2020 - Cameron Douglas
DESCRIPTION:Calgary JCC has joined with the Marcus JCC in Atlanta to offer premium literary programming through this year’s virtual Book Festival. \nLong Way Home\nIn Conversation with Mara Davis\, Local Atlanta Media Maven\nZOOM Webinar Author Talk and Q&A\n$11USD for one virtual ticket or $24USD for one virtual ticket and paperback copy of book (shipping included) \nFrom the scion of Hollywood royalty–son of Michael Douglas\, grandson of Kirk Douglas–a moving\, often shocking\, ultimately inspiring memoir detailing his struggle to regain his dignity\, humanity\, and place in society after many years of drug abuse and almost eight years in prison. Cameron Douglas is born into wealth\, privilege\, and comfort. His parents are glamorous jet-setters\, his father a superstar\, his mother a beautiful socialite\, his grandfather a legend. On the surface\, his life seems golden. But by the age of thirty\, he has taken a hellish dive: he’s become a drug addict\, a thief\, and–after a DEA drug bust–a convicted drug dealer sentenced to five years in prison\, with another five years added to his sentence while incarcerated. Eventually he will spend two years in solitary\, where he manages\, nonetheless\, to hold fast to the brutal ethos of prison survival . . . until: he begins to reverse his savage transformation\, to understand the psychological turmoil that has tormented him for years\, and to prepare for what will be a profoundly challenging\, but eventually deeply satisfying and successful\, reentry into society at large. Sparing no one in his sphere–least of all himself–Cameron Douglas gives us a raw and unstintingly honest recounting of his harrowing\, remarkable\, and\, in the end\, inspiring life story. \nCameron Douglas is an actor. He lives in Los Angeles.

SUMMARY:Book Festival 2020 - Lawrence Wright
DESCRIPTION:Calgary JCC has joined with the Marcus JCC in Atlanta to offer premium literary programming through this year’s virtual Book Festival. \nThe End of October: A Novel \nZOOM Webinar Author Talk and Q&A\n$11USD for one virtual ticket or $35USD for one virtual ticket and copy of book (shipping included) \n“An eerily prescient novel about a devastating virus that begins in Asia before going global… A page-turner that has the earmarks of an instant bestseller.” — New York Post \nIn this riveting medical thriller–from the Pulitzer Prize winner and best-selling author\, Lawrence Wright –Dr. Henry Parsons\, an unlikely but appealing hero\, races to find the origins and cure of a mysterious new killer virus as it brings the world to its knees. \nAt an internment camp in Indonesia\, forty-seven people are pronounced dead with acute hemorrhagic fever. When Henry Parsons–microbiologist\, epidemiologist–travels there on behalf of the World Health Organization to investigate\, what he finds will soon have staggering repercussions across the globe: an infected man is on his way to join the millions of worshippers in the annual Hajj to Mecca. Now\, Henry joins forces with a Saudi prince and doctor in an attempt to quarantine the entire host of pilgrims in the holy city… A Russian émigré\, a woman who has risen to deputy director of U.S. Homeland Security\, scrambles to mount a response to what may be an act of biowarfare… Already-fraying global relations begin to snap\, one by one\, in the face of a pandemic… Henry’s wife\, Jill\, and their children face diminishing odds of survival in Atlanta… And the disease slashes across the United States\, dismantling institutions–scientific\, religious\, governmental–and decimating the population. As packed with suspense as it is with the fascinating history of viral diseases\, Lawrence Wright has given us a full-tilt\, electrifying\, one-of-a-kind thriller. \nLawrence Wright is a staff writer for The New Yorker\, a playwright\, a screenwriter\, and the author of ten books of nonfiction\, including The Looming Tower\, Going Clear\, and God Save Texas\, and one previous novel\, God’s Favorite. His books have received many honors\, including a Pulitzer Prize for The Looming Tower. He and his wife are longtime residents of Austin\, Texas.
