In a slightly belated celebration of Jewish Book Month, join three local Berkshire authors for a reading and conversation: Barbara Viniar, Carol Goodman Kaufman, and Rabbi Pam Wax.

Barbara Viniar's debut novel, "Little Bird," was inspired by her grandmother’s life as an immigrant from Russia in the early 20th century.

Carol Goodman Kaufman has written several children's books as well as mysteries and a collection of short stories. Her features on food and its history have been published in the Berkshire Jewish Voice. She is currently working on two novels.

In addition to many published articles on both Jewish spirituality and women's issues, Rabbi Pam Wax is the author of 3 poetry collections: "Walking the Labyrinth," "Starter Mothers," and the forthcoming "Every Single Beast of My Heart."

These three authors will come together to read from their work and engage in a conversation about their writing lives and "writing Jewish".
