Beth Elohim Author Talks...sent by MK

Brooklyn By The Book

Congregation Beth Elohim and Community Bookstore, two historic Brooklyn institutions, have joined forces to offer a monthly reading and lecture series at Congregation Beth Elohim. The Brooklyn by the Book events will provoke discussion, celebrate the life of the mind, and tap into the rich culture of writing and reading in Park Slope and the broader community of Brownstone Brooklyn. Programming will focus primarily on current events, literary fiction and other topics of interest to our audience. Park Slope is one of the nation’s premiere literary communities, and this is the first large-scale venue for all the passionate readers in the area to come meet and hear from their favorite authors.
