DESCRIPTION:Calgary JCC has joined with the Marcus JCC in Atlanta to offer premium literary programming through this year’s virtual Book Festival. \nThe Cobbler: How I Disrupted an Industry\, Fell from Grace\, and Came Back Stronger Than Ever\nIn conversation with Holly Firfer\, CNN Journalist \nZOOM Webinar Author Talk and Q&A  |  Click for Tickets\n$11usd for one virtual ticket or $36usd for one virtual ticket and copy of book (shipping included) \nEveryone knows Steve Madden’s name and his shoes\, but few are familiar with his story. Over the past thirty years Steve Madden has taken his eponymous shoe company from the fledgling start-up he founded with a mere $1\,100 to a global\, multi-billion-dollar brand. But Madden’s mistakes\, from his battle with addiction to the financial shortcuts that landed him in prison\, are as important to his story as his most iconic shoes. In this raw\, intimate\, and ultimately inspiring book\, Madden holds nothing back as he shares what it took to get here and the lessons he’s learned along the way. From his unconventional hiring strategies to his slavish devotion to product\, Madden offers a business perspective that is as unique as his styles. In The Cobbler\, readers are treated to the wild ride though his rise\, fall\, and comeback. But they will also walk away uplifted by a man who has owned up to his mistakes and come back determined to give back and use his hard-won platform to create positive change. \nSteven Madden is an entrepreneur\, an award-winning designer\, and a business titan whose eponymous company is currently worth 3 billion dollars. On the flip side\, he is an ex-con\, a recovering addict\, and a devoted family man. Considered the fashion footwear mogul of the 21st century\, Madden has an innate sense of what’s hot\, what’s next\, what’s exciting\, and more importantly\, how this will translate to the customer. He is also an active philanthropist and mentor who supports a number of organizations that help those in need of a second chance.

SUMMARY:Book Festival 2020 - Judy Gold
DESCRIPTION:Calgary JCC has joined with the Marcus JCC in Atlanta to offer premium literary programming through this year’s virtual Book Festival. \nYes\, I Can Say That: When They Come for the Comedians\, We Are All In Trouble\nIn Conversation with Mara Davis\, Atlanta Media Personality \nZOOM Webinar Author Talk and Q&A | Click for Tickets\n$11usd for one virtual ticket or $30usd for one virtual ticket and copy of book (includes shipping) \n“No one makes me laugh harder than Judy Gold. If I had to pick one comedian to write a book about free speech\, it would be Judy.” – Amy Schumer \nIn Yes I Can Say That\, comedy veteran Judy Gold argues that “no one has the right to tell comics what they can or cannot joke about… Laughter is a unifier. It’s the best medicine…” For Gold\, nothing is more insidious than enforcing silence and repressing jokes—the job of a comedian is to expose society’s demons\, and confront them head-on\, no prisoners allowed. In ten impassioned polemics\, she frames comedy as a tool of empowerment\, a way to reclaim hateful rhetoric and battle the democracy-crushing plight of censorship. \nUninhibited and bold\, Gold is as skilled at making readers laugh as she is at exposing uncomfortable truths about our culture and society. In this era of partisan politics and gaping inequalities\, Yes I Can Say That is the refreshingly candid\, wickedly funny and deliciously blunt manifesto we need. \nJudy Gold is an American standup comedian\, actress\, television writer\, and producer. She won two Daytime Emmy Awards for her work as a writer and producer on The Rosie O’Donnell Show\, and has starred in comedy specials on HBO\, Comedy Central\, and Logo. She has also written and starred in two critically acclaimed\, Off-Broadway hit shows: The Judy Show―My Life as a Sitcom and 25 Questions for a Jewish Mother (which she performed in the MJCCA’s Morris And Rae Frank Theater. She is currently the host of the hit podcast Kill Me Now.

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.”
