Two novelists who left the confines of their Satmar Hasidic upbringing offer in-depth looks at this ultra-Orthodox New York community. Anouk Markovits’ I Am Forbidden delves into the clash between unwavering love and unyielding law over four generations, while Eishes Chayil (Judy Brown)’s Hush explores how sexual abuse is dealt with in the Hasidic world. Moderated by festival director Lili Kalish Gersch.
The Washington DCJCC presents the annual Hyman S. & Freda Bernstein Jewish Literary Festival, October 14-24. The Festival includes 15 events, with celebrated authors and scholars including Pulitzer Prize winner Michael Chabon speaking on his latest book, Telegraph Avenue: A Novel and Nobel Prize-winner Eric Kandel in conversation with The New York Times columnist David Brooks.
The Festival also includes an evening of film and theater focused on Franz Kafka, biographer William Mann on Barbra Streisand’s electrifying rise to fame, a local author fair and a day of storytelling, crafts and fun for children including Clifford the Big Red Dog.
