the second annual Jewish book festival is presented by

Sunday, November 9 Schwartz/Reisman Centre | 9600 Bathurst Street | Vaughan | 905.303.1821 10 am | John Rosengren “The Fight of Their Lives”

11 am | Carla Naumburg “Parenting in the Present Moment”

How Juan Marichal and John Roseboro turned baseball's ugliest brawl into a story of forgiveness and redemption.

How to stay connected, sane and focused on what really matters.

The moment is immortalized by an iconic photo: Juan Marichal's bat poised to strike John Roseboro's head.

“The Fight of Their Lives” tells the story behind that moment, when Juan Marichal was troubled by civil war in his native Dominican Republic and John Roseboro's had just faced down the Watts riots, and how these social tensions spilled into the national pastime during 1965's "summer of fury". It also tells how these two men, forever linked by that moment, transformed it into an occasion of reconciliation and an enduring friendship.

In “Parenting in the Present Moment”, Naumburg shares what truly matters in parenting – connecting with children in ways that are meaningful to them and you, staying grounded amidst the craziness of parenting, and staying present for whatever life throws your way. With reassuring, compassionate storytelling, she weaves the most current theories – about healthy relationships, compassionate selfcare, and mindfulness – throughout vignettes of her own chaotic childhood and struggles and successes as a parent.

John Rosengren is the award-winning author of eight books, including “Hank Greenberg: The Hero of Heroes” and “Blades of Glory”. His articles have appeared in Sports Illustrates, Reader's Digest, Tennis, Runner's World, among other publications.

He lives in Minneapolis with his wife and their two children. nonfiction | sports biography | history this lecture is generously supported by DOT

Parenting is an ongoing journey that constantly challenges every parent to be compassionate and creative in their interactions with their children. Each family needs to find its own unique style, and “Parenting in the Present Moment” will help.

Caral Naumburg, PhD, is a clinical social worker, writer, and mother. She is the mindful parenting blogger for PsychCentral.com and a contributing editor at Kveller.com. Carla’s writing has been featured in The New York Times, The Huffington Post, and Parents.com, among others; Carla lives outside of Boston with her husband and two daughters. self-help | family parenting

2 pm | Prosserman JCC Yael Ben-Zion | “Intermarried”

3 pm | Prosserman JCC Seth Fishman | “The Well’s End”

Following her award-winning monograph “5683 Miles Away”, in which she considered the meaning of "normal life" in her homeland of Israel, in “Intermarried” Yael-Ben Zion fixes her camera on another personal but politically charged theme: intermarriage.

Sixteen-year-old Mia Kish's small town of Fenton, Colorado is known for three things: the world's tallest sycamore tree, the national chicken-thigh-eating contest, and one of the ritziest boarding schools in the country, Westbrook Academy. But when emergency sirens start blaring and Westbrook is put on lockdown, quarantined and surounded by soldiers who shoot first and ask questions later, Mia realizes she's only just beginning to discover what makes Fenton special.

Ben-Zion initiated the project in 2009 by contacting an online parent group in Washington Heights, her Manhattan neighbourhood, inviting couples who define themselves as "mixed" to participate. Her own marriage "mixed", she was interested in the many challenges faced by couples who choose to share their lives regardless of their different origins, ethnicities, races or religions.

Through layered images and revealing texts (including excerpts from a questionnaire she asked her subjects to fill out), Ben-Zion constructs a subtle, reality-based narrative in which she explores and interprets the complex, multifaceted issues posed by intermarriage.

Seth Fishman is a native of Midland, Texas (think Friday Night Lights), and a graduate of Princeton University and the University of East Anglia in Norwich, England. He spends his days as a literary agent at The Gernert Company and his nights (and mornings) writing. He lives in Jersey City, NJ with his lovely wife.

This is his first novel (that's not in a drawer).

Yael Ben-Zion is a New York-based photographer whose work often considers the relationship of the personal to the political.

Yael was born in Minneapolis, MN and raised in Israel. She is a graduate of the Hebrew University, Yale Law School and ICP.

art | culture interfaith | sociology

The answer is behind the wall of the Cave, a.k.a Fenton Electronics, where her father is the Director. Mia's dad has always been secretive about his work, revealing only that he's working for the government. But unless Mia's willing to let the whole town succumb to a strange, fatal illness that ages people years in a matter of hours, she's got to break quarantine, escape the school grounds and outsmart armed soldiers to uncover the truth.

4 pm | Prosserman JCC Sande Boritz Berger | “The Sweetness” A curious young girl asks her grandmother why she is carrying nothing but a jug of sliced lemons and water when their family is forced by the Germans to leave their ghetto.

"Something to remind me of the sweetness", she tells the child, setting the theme for what they must remember in order to survive.

Set during World War II, “The sweetness” is the parallel tale of two Jewish girls, cousins living on separate continents, whose strikingly different lives promise to one day converge. Brooklyn-born, Mira, is the eighteen-year-old daughter of Charles Kane, a hard working, successful manufacturer of women's knitwear. Her cousin, eight-yearold, Rosha Kaninsky, is the lone survivor of a family in Lithuania exterminated by the invading Nazis.

But unbeknownst to her American relatives, Rosha did not perish, unlike nearly all the Jewish population of Vilna that summer and fall of 1941.

Sande Boritz Berger holds an MFA in Writing and Literature at Stony Brook Southampton College, where she was awarded The Deborah Hecht Memorial prize for fiction. Her work has appeared in 20 anthologies, and after two decades as a screen-writer and video producer for Fortune 500, Sande has returned to writing full time.

The Second Annual Jewish Book Festival also features an extensive collection of books, music and Chanukah gifts.

7 pm | Schwartz/Reisman Centre Kathy Kacer | “Shanghai Escape” Lily Toufar and her family arrive in Shanghai in 1938, having fled from Nazi-occupied Vienna and the persecution of Jewish families like theirs. Shanghai is a strange place for a young European girl, but it is one of the few places in the world to offer Jews refuge from the Holocaust. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, and under pressure from Hitler, the Japanese government in Shanghai orders Jewish refugees to move into a ghetto in an area of Shanghai called Hongkew. Life changes for Lily and her family when they are forced to the ghetto, where there is little food to eat and poor sanitation. But Lily endures, and manages to find time for childhood even under these difficult circumstances. But when rumors begin to circulate that the Japanese are going to open a camp like the ones where Jews are imprisoned in Europe, Lily’s fear for her family’s safety are reignited. Based on a true story.

Kathy Kacer’s books for children about the Holocaust have won a number of awards, including the Jewish Book Award, the Silver Birch, the Red Maple, and the Hackmatack. A former psychologist, Kathy now travels the glove speaking to children and adults about the importance of keeping the memory of the Holocaust alive.

Kathy lives in Toronto with her family.

8 pm | Schwartz/Reisman Centre Cathy Barrow “Mrs. Wheelbarrow’s Practical Pantry” Recipes and Techniques for Year-Round Preserving.

The indispensable guide to year-round food preserving, including recipes to use what has been preserved.

Home preserving expert Cathy Barrow presents a world of practical and easy-to master techniques for preserving fruits, vegetables, meats, and fish, canning beans and soups, and making cheese.

From double strawberry jam and chile-spiked tomatoes to duck confit and homemade pancetta, “Mrs. Wheelbarrow’s Practical Pantry” gives readers the tools to turn the fleeting abundance of the farmers’ market into a wellstocked pantry. It arms home cooks with clear instructions for water-bath processing and pressure canning and further inspires readers with more than 150 color photographs that feature fresh produce in season, cooking techniques, and finished dishes.

Cathy Barrow writes the food blog Mrs. Wheelbarrow’s Kitchen.

She has written for the New York Times, The Washington Post, Garden and Gun, NPR, and Modern Farmer, among other publications. She lives in Washington, DC.

7 pm | Prosserman JCC S. Bear Bergman “Blood, Marriage, Wine & Glitter” S. Bear Bergman is an acclaimed writer and lecturer who travels regularly across North America to speak on trans issues. Bear’s first two books, “Butch Is a Noun” and “The Nearest Exit May Be Behind You”, are considered essential texts on the subject of trans life. In his third essay collection, Bear rearranges our ideas about family as a Jew, daughter, husband, and friend, and most importantly, as one of two trans fathers of a young son. In Bear’s extended family “orchard”, assorted relations provide more branches of love, support, and sustenance than a simple family tree.

Full of tenderness and hilarity, “Blood, Marriage, Wine & Glitter” is a beautifully thought-provoking book that redefines the notion of what family and spirituality is and can be.

S. Bear Bergman is the author of “The Nearest Exit May Be Behind You”, “Butch is a Noun”, and “Blood, Marriage, Wine & Glitter”. Bear is also co-editor of the award-winning anthology Gender Outlaws: The Next Generation, and the author of two children’s books.

Originally from New England, Bear now lives with his husband and son in Toronto.

7 pm | Prosserman JCC Martin Fletcher | “Jacob’s Oath” A story of love and revenge set in Germany at war’s end, May 1945. Two Jewish survivors, Jacob of Bergen Belsen, Sarah who survived by hiding in Berlin, make their way to Heidelberg, their hometown. There they meet, the only Jews in town, and fall in love. But Joseph has sworn, as his younger brother died in his arms, to take revenge on the concentration camp guard who beat him to death. He also comes from Heidelberg. As Jacob waits for him to come home, as everyone does at the end of a war, he is beset by doubts. What is more important, to revenge his brother or to love Sarah? The past or the future? Love or hate? If he kills the guard, he will lose his love, lose his hope for a future. At the same time a Jewish hit team from the British army’s Jewish Brigade is roaming Germany, assassinating SS officers. They hear of Joseph’s oath and his dilemma.

His problem is solved in a moving, dramatic finale.

Martin Fletcher, a special correspondent with NBC and PBS has won numerous broadcasting awards including five Emmies. He has written two non-fiction books, including “Walking Israel”, winner of a National Jewish Book Award, as well as two novels. The latest is “Jacob’s Oath”.

8 pm | Schwartz/Reisman Centre Ruth Feldman | “The Green Bubbie”

7 pm | Schwartz/Reisman Centre Amy S. F. Lutz “Each Day I Like It Better”

Bubbie is the Yiddish word for grandmother, but Green Bubbie is an energy-efficient model of grandparenting.

Whether or not you have your own children and grandchildren, you too can be a Green Bubbie – the secret is how to nurture those who are growing right in front of you!

And if you’re lucky enough to meet a Green Bubbie, she will become the “accidental relative you meet on the road to finding yourself”. Whether you’re a Green Bubbie or one of her “sprouts”, you will can become part of the very special world of organic, intergenerational relationships.

Autism, ECT, and the Treatment of Our Most Impaired Children.

In the fall of 2009, Amy S.F. Lutz and her husband, Andy, struggled with one of the worst decisions any parent could possibly face: whether they could safely keep their autistic ten-year-old son, Jonah, at home any longer. Countless behavior strategies, multiple medication trials, and a ten-month hospitalization all failed to control his violent rages. Desperate to stop the attacks that left them emotionally crushed and physically battered, Amy and Andy decided to try the procedure that has been called “the most controversial treatment in medicine”: electroconvulsive therapy (ECT).

The Green Bubbie is for grownups of all ages who want to branch out and connect – to have real relationships in real time with real people. The Green Bubbie is about unconditional love and the nourishment we give and get from the Garden of Life.

“Each Day I Like It Better” includes a survey of the most recent ECT research as well as self-contained chapters recounting the ECT journeys of six other families, but it is ultimately the story of Jonah’s profound transformation: the boy who once broke his teacher’s nose is now preparing for his Bar Mitzvah.

Dr. Ruth Pinkenson Feldman is an internationally recognized Jewish early-childhood educator. As Director of Early Childhood Education for the Jewish Community Centers of North America, she created An Ethical Start, the JCCA’s values development curriculum based on Pirkei Avot. She is a Covenent Award winner and a Jerusalem Fellow.

Amy S.F. Lutz’s writing about autism and other issues she faces as the mother of five children has been featured on the websites Slate and Babble. She is the president of EASI Foundation: Ending Aggression and Self-Injury in the Developmentally Disabled.

“Each Day I Like It Better” is her first book.

The story of a failed young journalist who starts forging Holocaust-restitution claims for old Russian Jews in Brooklyn – which really happened, much as the author imagined it, soon after he started writing. Grim subject, but the novel isn’t; no self-respecting acolyte of Bernard Malamud would dare to write about tears without laughter.

Boris Fishman wanted to write the smartest possible book for the broadest possible audience; like his literary ancestors, Russian and Jewish, Fishman wanted to ask big questions, but he believes in storytelling above all.

Fishman’s inspiration was his grandmother, a survivor.

Her restitution paperwork asked for little documentation, which turned this issue of history into a challenge of storytelling instead – catnip for a writer. Her alter ego and the novel’s other female characters taught him the most; they started as cardboard cutouts and finished as the book’s most interesting characters. And it’s because of her that the novel looks for a bridge between the current generation and our elders, a challenge even if we are born to the same language. How to honor people whose definition of honor is different from our own?

11 am | Schwartz/Reisman Centre Richard Cohen “Israel, Is It Good For the Jews?”

Richard Cohen’s book is part reportage, part memoir - an intimate journey through the history of Europe’s Jews, culminating in the establishment of Israel. A veteran, syndicated columnist for The Washington Post, Cohen began this journey as a skeptic, wondering in a national column whether the creation of a Jewish State was “a mistake”.

As he recounts, he delved into his own and Jewish history and fell in love with the story of the Jews and Israel, a twice-promised land-in the Bible by God, and by the world to the remnants of Europe’s Jews. This promise, he writes, was made in atonement not just for the Holocaust, but for the callous indifference that preceded World War II and followed it-and that still threatens.

Cohen’s account is full of stories-from the nineteenth century figures who imagined a Zionist country, including Theodore Herzl, who thought it might resemble Vienna with its cafes and music; to what happened in twentieth century Poland to his own relatives; and to stories of his American boyhood.

Richard Cohen is a nationally syndicated columnist for The Washington Post, where he has covered national politics and foreign affairs since 1976. He has received the Sigma Delta Chi and Washington-Baltimore Newspaper Guild Awards for his investigative reporting, featured in numerous renowned journalistic publications.

1 pm | Schwartz/Reisman Centre Lynn Davidman “Becoming Un-Orthodox” Stories of Ex-Hasidic Jews.

“Becoming Un-Orthodox” is based on forty in depth conversations between Lynn Davidman and ex-Hasidic individuals. From these conversations emerge accounts of the great fear, angst, and sense of danger that come from leaving a highly bounded enclave community. Many of the individuals interviewed spoke of feeling marginal in their own communities; of strain in their homes due to death, divorce, or their parents’ profound religious differences; of sexual, physical, or verbal abuse; of an acute awareness of gender inequality and the dissimilar lives of their secular relatives.

Davidman also draws attention to the vital role of the body and bodily behavior in religious practices. It is through physical rituals and routines that the members of a religion, particularly a highly conservative one, constantly create, perform, and reinforce the culture of the religion.

This book provides a moving narrative of the struggles of Haredi defectors and a crucial call for greater collective understanding of the complex significance of the body in society.

Lynn Davidman is Robert M. Beren Distinguished Professor of Modern Jewish Studies and Professor of Sociology at the University of Kansas.

2 pm | Schwartz/Reisman Centre David Kalis | “Vodka Shot, Pickle Chaser” A true story of risk, corruption, and self-discovery amid the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Standing in the dilapidated synagogue that his greatgrandparents called home, David found it hard to believe he had made it to Shepetovka, Ukraine. His grandfather told him the village no longer existed, but David knew better. Two years prior, following college graduation, David traveled to the Soviet Union on a 30-day sightseeing tour.

But after finding himself caught up in the middle of a coup d’etat that destabilized the country, he ended up staying abroad for two and half tumultuous years.

From surviving perilous run-ins with the Russian mafia and Soviet military to searching for his heritage in a remote village, David’s story is a riveting coming-of age memoir.

Through it all, David discovers an unexpected connection to his Jewish identity. By the time he leaves Russia, he realizes that the road less traveled can lead to unexpected adventure, and that looking backward sometimes provides the best insight into how to move forward.

David Kalis grew up in the Boston suburbs. He earned his B.A. in Soviet-East European Studies from Tufts University and a M.B.A. from the University of Chicago. He is a loving husband and father, a marketing professional, a former Brotherhood President at his synagogue, and serves as an Alderman for the City of Newton, MA.
