The first-ever New York Jewish Book Festival features talks, panels, and author signings. The daylong event will touch on themes of Jewish heritage including culture and history, modern life and literature, the Holocaust, food and cookbooks, and books for kids and families. Among the highlights in store will be a panel of well-known photographers discussing their work photographing Holocaust survivors and a new biography of businessman and philanthropist Edmond J. Safra, after whom the Museum's theater is named. Keynotes will feature illustrator and author Maira Kalman on her new book, Women Holding Things; Gary Shteyngart, author of Our Country Friends; and a conversation with Michael Twitty, the Southern Jewish television personality, blogger, and author of Koshersoul.
