SUMMARY:Ann Arbor Jewish Book Festival Program
DESCRIPTION:HYBRID LUNCH & LEARN PROGRAM\nWith Author Sylvie Bigar\, Cassoulet Confessions\nModerated by Lonnie Sussman\n12:00 PM | Lunch at the JCC | Author Will Join Virtually\nWhen Sylvie accepted an apparently anodyne assignment on cassoulet\, France’s ancestral bean and meat stew\, she could not have known that she was about to jump into a rabbit hole that would lead her miles away from her upper-crust childhood in Switzerland and force her to reckon with her identity and her own dramatic family history. Cassoulet Confessions\, a poignant gourmand memoir\, vacillates between generational family drama and Sylvie’s gastronomic training as the reader is engulfed in the simmering smells of the French kitchen\, then suddenly thrown in the terrifying front seat of the family car. \n\nAward-win­ning food and trav­el writer Sylvie Bigar was born in Gene­va\, Switzer­land\, and is based in New York City. Her writ­ing has appeared wide­ly\, includ­ing in The New York Times\, The Wash­ing­ton Post\, Food & Wine\, Forbes​.com\, Saveur\, Bon Appétit\, Edi­ble\, Depar­tures\, Trav­el + Leisure\, and Nation­al Geo­graph­ic Trav­el­er. Bigar co-authored chef Daniel Boulud’s defin­i­tive Daniel: My French Cui­sine\, as well as Liv­ing Art: Style Your Home with Flow­ers\, with flo­ral artist and design­er Olivi­er Giugni.

SUMMARY:Ann Arbor Jewish Book Festival Program
DESCRIPTION:VIRTUAL PROGRAM\nWith Author Rebecca Clarren\, The Cost of Free Land\nModerated by Deborah Dash Moore\, Professor of History\, University of Michigan\n12:00 PM over Zoom\nRebec­ca Clar­ren only knew the major plot points of her immi­grant family’s ori­gins. Her great-great-grand­par­ents\, the Sinykins\, and their six chil­dren fled anti­semitism in Rus­sia and arrived in the Unit­ed States at the turn of the 20th cen­tu­ry\, ulti­mate­ly set­tling on a 160-acre home­stead in South Dako­ta. Over the next few decades\, despite tough years on a mer­ci­less prairie and mul­ti­ple set­backs\, the Sinykins became an Amer­i­can immi­grant suc­cess sto­ry. What none of Clarren’s ances­tors ever men­tioned was that their land\, the foun­da­tion for much of their wealth\, had been cru­el­ly tak­en from the Lako­ta by the Unit­ed States gov­ern­ment. Amer­i­ca had bro­ken hun­dreds of treaties with hun­dreds of Indige­nous nations across the con­ti­nent\, and the land that had once been reserved for the sev­en bands of the Lako­ta had been dimin­ished\, splin­tered\, and hand­ed for free\, or prac­ti­cal­ly free\, to white set­tlers. In The Cost of Free Land\, Clar­ren melds inves­tiga­tive report­ing with per­son­al fam­i­ly his­to­ry to reveal the inter­twined sto­ries of her fam­i­ly and the Lako­ta\, and the dev­as­tat­ing cycle of loss of Indige­nous land\, cul­ture\, and resources that con­tin­ues today. \nAward-win­ning jour­nal­ist Rebec­ca Clar­ren has been writ­ing about the Amer­i­can West for more than twen­ty years. Her mag­a­zine pieces\, for which she has won the Hill­man Prize\, appear in High Coun­try News\, The Nation\, and Indi­an Coun­try Today. Her debut nov­el\, Kick­down\, was short­list­ed for the PEN/​Bellwether Prize for Social­ly Engaged Fic­tion. An Amer­i­can Inher­i­tance\, her work of cre­ative nonfic­tion\, was award­ed a Whit­ing Non­fic­tion Award. Her work is reg­u­lar­ly sup­port­ed by the Fund for Inves­tiga­tive Jour­nal­ism. She lives in Port­land\, Ore­gon with her hus­band and two kids. \n

SUMMARY:Ann Arbor Jewish Book Festival Program
DESCRIPTION:IN-PERSON LUNCH & LEARN @ THE JCC\nWith Author Martin Fletcher\, Teachers: The Ones I Can’t Forget\nModerated by Efrat Lachter\, Investigative Correspondent for Israel’s Channel 12 News\n12 PM @ the JCC\nTeachers are the people Martin Fletcher met throughout his work as a news correspondent\, often on the worst day of their lives. He watched as they picked up the pieces following personal tragedy and discovered  the invaluable lesson of carrying on\, no matter the circumstances. \nThrough intimate profiles\, Martin Fletcher’s Teachers details the struggles of everyday people in extraordinary circumstances-war\, revolution\, natural disasters and yes\, life. Fletcher’s writing is uplifting as he examines the truth of resilience despite hardship. These are the people he sought out in his international reporting\, detailing their woes while celebrating their will to survive and recover. \nTeachers offers a unique take on reporting\, as it features a traveling photo exhibit that Fletcher created to accompany the book. Each chapter is paired with an extraordinary digital montage to illustrate the stories taken directly from his reporting from NBC news programs. At a time when news coverage is often dismissed as fake or biased\, Teachers is a welcome reminder of the integrity\, devotion and empathy that goes into true reporting of the world. As Tom Brokaw wrote\, “Fletcher has a calling.” \nCon­sid­ered for decades the ​“gold stan­dard of TV war cor­re­spon­dents” by Ander­son Coop­er\, Mar­tin Fletch­er was an NBC News Cor­re­spon­dent and bureau chief in Tel Aviv for near­ly thir­ty years. Fletch­er has won five Emmys and a Colum­bia Uni­ver­si­ty DuPont Award — a Pulitzer for work in tele­vi­sion — as well as awards from the Over­seas Press Club and Roy­al Soci­ety of Tele­vi­sion. Today\, Fletcher’s work as an author is rapid­ly gain­ing an equal­ly impres­sive rep­u­ta­tion. He cur­rent­ly lives in Mex­i­co and New York. \nEfrat Lachter is an investigative correspondent for Israel’s Channel 12 News and the weekly newsmagazine “Friday Studio.” A recipient of the 2022 Shimon Peres Center for Peace Award\, she has directed and produced more than 200 documentary segments on topics including human trafficking in Sudan and Israel\, modern-day slavery in Malawi\, orphans in Ukraine\, internal political corruption in Israel\, and a women-and-children-only village in the Kurd-controlled area of Syria. As the first female war correspondent in her newsroom\, much of her work has illuminated the lives of women in conflict zones. Lachter studied political science and communications at Tel Aviv University and journalism at the Koteret School of Journalism in Tel Aviv. She previously worked as an investigative journalist for “Uvda\,” Israel’s version of “60 Minutes.”

SUMMARY:Ann Arbor Jewish Book Festival Program
DESCRIPTION:VIRTUAL PROGRAM\nWith Author Jeff Bender\, Oh\, I Just Didn’t Know and Apparel Has No Gender and Author A.J. Sass\, Camp Quiltbag\n7:00 PM over Zoom\nApparel Has No Gender\nWhen Jeff Ben­der’s child Court­ney\, who was assigned male at birth\, asked for her first dress at one and a half years old\, all Jeff saw was the smile and delight on his child’s face. Lit­tle did he know that he and his fam­i­ly were about to embark on a jour­ney of learn­ing\, growth and accep­tance that would include issues sur­round­ing cloth­ing\, bath­rooms\, and sports teams. \nPar­ent­ing in today’s world is chal­leng­ing\, but par­ent­ing a gen­der-non­con­form­ing or gen­der-ques­tion­ing child can be con­fus­ing as well. Jeff opens up about his fam­i­ly’s expe­ri­ences with hon­esty and com­pas­sion\, detail­ing the strug­gles and joys of par­ent­ing two gen­der-flu­id chil­dren. Along with his own sto­ry\, Jeff shares the view­points of oth­er par­ents\, grand­par­ents\, and even his own wife. \nAppar­el Has No Gen­der also pro­vides guid­ance for par­ents want­i­ng to learn more about gen­der iden­ti­ties and expres­sion. Any par­ent will ben­e­fit from Jef­f’s lessons on how to grow in under­stand­ing and par­ent with uncon­di­tion­al love and support. \nCamp Quiltbag\nTwelve-year-old Abi­gail (she/​her/​hers) is so excit­ed to spend her sum­mer at Camp Quilt­bag\, an inclu­sive retreat for queer and trans kids. She can’t wait to find a com­mu­ni­ty where she can be her­self — and\, she hopes\, admit her crush on that one hot old­er actress to kids who will understand. \nThir­teen-year-old Kai (e/​em/​eir) is not as excit­ed. E just wants to hang out with eir best friend and eir park­our team. And e def­i­nite­ly does not want to think about the inci­dent that left eir arm in a sling — the inci­dent that also made Kai’s par­ents deter­mined to send em some­where e can feel like emself. \n\nAfter a bit of a rocky start at camp\, Abi­gail and Kai make a pact: If Kai helps Abi­gail make new friends\, Abi­gail will help Kai’s cab­in with the all-camp com­pe­ti­tion. But as they nav­i­gate a sum­mer full of crush­es\, queer iden­ti­ty explo­ration\, and more\, they learn what’s real­ly impor­tant. Camp Quilt­bag is a heart­felt sto­ry full of the joy that comes from being and lov­ing yourself. \nAbout the Authors\nJeff Ben­der is the father to two of the most incred­i­ble kids in the world. He and his wife have been mar­ried since 2005 and reside in the St. Louis area. Jeff found­ed The Lion and The Owl\, a com­pa­ny cre­at­ing a com­mu­ni­ty for LGBTQ+ youth to feel safe in while nor­mal­iz­ing the idea of gen­der-neu­tral cloth­ing. The Lion and the The Owl’s mis­sion is to sup­port and cel­e­brate inclu­siv­i­ty and diver­si­ty among our youth through appar­el\, com­mu­ni­ty\, and education. \n A. J. Sass is an author\, edi­tor\, and com­pet­i­tive fig­ure skater. He is the author of Ana on the Edge and Ellen Out­side the Lines as well as a con­trib­u­tor to This Is Our Rain­bow: 16 Sto­ries of Her\, Him\, Them\, and Us anthol­o­gy. He cur­rent­ly lives in the San Fran­cis­co Bay Area with his partner and their pets.

When a woman from a Jewish reclamation organization seizes them\, believing she has their best interest at heart\, Ana sees an opportunity to reconnect with her roots\, while Oskar sees only the loss of the home he loves. \nRoger grows up in a monastery in France\, inventing stories and trading riddles with his best friend in a life of quiet concealment. When a relative seeks to retrieve him\, the Church steals him across the Pyrenees before relinquishing him to family in Jerusalem. \nRenata\, a post-graduate student in archaeology\, has spent her life unearthing secrets from the past–except for her own. After her mother’s death\, Renata’s grief is entwined with all the questions her mother left unanswered\, including why they fled Germany so quickly when Renata was a little girl. \nTwo decades later\, they are each building lives for themselves\, trying to move on from the trauma and loss that haunts them. But as their stories converge in Israel\, in unexpected ways\, they must each ask where and to whom they truly belong. Beautifully evocative and tender\, filled with both luminosity and anguish\, Once We Were Home reveals a little-known history. Based on the true stories of children stolen during wartime\, this heart-wrenching novel raises questions of complicity and responsibility\, belonging and identity\, good intentions and unforeseen consequences\, as it confronts what it really means to find home. \nJen­nifer Ros­ner is author of The Yel­low Bird Sings\, a 2020 Nation­al Jew­ish Book Award final­ist in Debut Fic­tion and Book Club. She also wrote the mem­oir If a Tree Falls: A Fam­i­ly’s Quest to Hear and be Heard\, and the Sydney Taylor Book Award Notable pic­ture book\, The Mit­ten String\, about deaf­ness in her fam­i­ly\, which she has traced back to Gali­cia in the 1800s. Jennifer’s books have been translated into a dozen languages. Her short writing has appeared in the New York Times\, The Times of Israel\, The Massachusetts Review\, the Forward\, and elsewhere. In addition to writing\, Jennifer has taught philosophy. She earned her B.A. from Columbia University and her Ph.D. from Stanford University. She lives in Western Massachusetts with her family.

SUMMARY:Ann Arbor Jewish Book Festival Program
DESCRIPTION:VIRTUAL PROGRAM\nWith Author Diana Fersko\, We Need to Talk About Antisemitism\nModerated by Dr. Jonathan Trobe\, Ophthalmology\, Michigan Medicine\n7:00 PM over Zoom\n \nA mil­len­ni­al rab­bi explores why we’re reluc­tant to dis­cuss anti­semitism — and empow­ers us to fight against it. \nAnti­semitism is on the rise in Amer­i­ca\, in cities and rur­al areas\, in red states and blue states\, and in guis­es both sub­tle and ter­ri­fy­ing­ly overt. Rab­bi Diana Fer­sko is used to hav­ing dif­fi­cult con­ver­sa­tions with mem­bers of her con­gre­ga­tion about the issues they face — from the threat of vio­lence to microag­gres­sions and iden­ti­ty denial. In We Need to Talk About Anti­semitism\, she gives all of us the ulti­mate guide to mod­ern anti­semitism in its many forms. \n\nExplor­ing top­ics like vile myths about Jew­ish peo­ple and the inter­sec­tion of anti­semitism with oth­er forms of dis­crim­i­na­tion\, We Need to Talk About Anti­semitism gives read­ers the tools they need to under­stand the state of anti­semitism today. Fer­sko shows Jews and non-Jews alike how to speak up and come togeth­er\, spread­ing a mes­sage of sol­i­dar­i­ty and hope. This is a time­ly read for any­one pas­sion­ate about fight­ing for social justice. \nRabbi Diana Fer­sko is the Senior Rab­bi at the Vil­lage Tem­ple in Man­hat­tan. She is the nation­al vice pres­i­dent of the Wom­en’s Rab­binic Net­work and a mem­ber of the New York Board of Rab­bis. Fer­sko has been pro­filed in The New York­er and has been pub­lished in Huff­Post. She lives in New York City.

SUMMARY:Ann Arbor Jewish Book Festival Sponsor Night
DESCRIPTION:SPONSOR NIGHT @ THE JCC\nWith Author Benyamin Cohen\, The Einstein Effect: How the World’s Favorite Genius Got into Our Cars\, Our Bathrooms\, and Our Minds\nModerated by Timothy Chupp\, Professor of Physics and Biomedical Engineering\, University of Michigan\nDINNER @ 5:30 PM\nPROGRAM WITH AUTHOR @ 7:00 PM\nRegister HERE to attend the FREE public program!\nAlmost 70 years after his death\, Albert Ein­stein’s genius con­tin­ues to define our every­day lives and his endur­ing lega­cy has shaped him into a mod­ern-day pop cul­ture icon. Albert Ein­stein’s face is still one of the most rec­og­niz­able in the world and he’s wide­ly con­sid­ered to be the first mod­ern-day celebri­ty. While many of his dis­cov­er­ies con­tin­ue to define our daily lives\, it’s not just his genius that con­tin­ues to shape our world. Today\, more peo­ple know Ein­stein as an icon rather than a the­o­rist — decades after his death\, he’s a celebri­ty with a mas­sive online following. \nThe Ein­stein Effect shows all the ways his influ­ence is still with us today — in our sys­tems and our cul­ture. Inter­spersed between chap­ters on his long-last­ing sci­en­tif­ic lega­cy\, author Benyamin Cohen (the mind behind Ein­stein’s Twit­ter account!) also tells the sto­ry of how Ein­stein became an unlike­ly social media fig­ure and pop cul­ture icon in the mod­ern age. \nBenyamin Cohen man­ages the offi­cial social media accounts of Albert Ein­stein. He is the News Direc­tor of the For­ward. Cohen is also the author of My Jesus Year: A Rab­bi’s Son Wan­ders the Bible Belt in Search of His Own Faith\, named one of the best books of the year by Pub­lish­ers Week­ly and for which he received the Geor­gia Author of the Year award. He is based in Mor­gan­town\, West Virginia.
