The Jewish Federation of the Berkshires will present author, award winning journalist, and Managing Editor of Orion Magazine, Andrew D. Blechman, who will speak about his book, Leisureville.  Part investigative journalism, part humor and part social critique, the book explores the attraction of gated and retirement communities, what it's really like behind the gated walls and what the phenomenon means for America at large.
