Author Events for 2023 and Beyond
The Under One Tent program year has enjoyed great author events. Our August through December 2023 book talk line-up is very exciting, with authors represented from different genres, e.g., novels, non-fiction, cookbooks. While we are still in the process of confirming the dates, here is a sneak peak for you to savor. More details to come in early August.
These book talks are sponsored by the Contra Costa JCC and Congregation B’nai Shalom in partnership with the Jewish Book Council. Co-sponsors: Diablo Valley Hadassah and Congregation B’nai Tikvah.
