WEDNESDAY 11/30 ELISSA ALTMAN ‘TREYF’ A person can eat treyf, and a person can be treyf. It’s unkosher, prohibited, and according to Leviticus and Elissa Altman’s grandmother, it’s illicit rule-breaking. Altman’s memoir tells the story of tradition, expectations, religion and rule-breaking that defined her childhood from the synagogue to her bedroom. According to Publishers Weekly, “Her decades-long struggle to regain the happiness and comfort she felt in her beloved maternal grandmother’s home is depicted lovingly, with many moments of heartbreak and disappointment but also joy and contentment. Altman’s path to living authentically is hard won, but she demonstrates there’s reward to be found in the fight.” Info: 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 30.
