On Monday, Nov. 10, I will be discussing my novel, Rebecca of Ivanhoe, as part of a panel on Jewish Voices in Classic Literature at the Cherry Hill, New Jersey JCC’s Festival of Arts, Books & Culture. My panel will begin at 10 am and is just one of a rich panoply of events at the two-week festiva, for which you can purchase tickets here. I will be talking about my heroine, Rebecca, the beautiful Jewish healer who is rescued by the knight Ivanhoe in Sir Walter Scott’s tale, as she builds a life in medieval Spain, forging alliances and love while surviving religious and political turmoil. Another author, Allison Epstein, will also be discussing her novel, Fagin the Thief, a reimagining of “Charles Dickens’ notorious character Jacob Fagin…a skilled Jewish pickpocket navigating 19th-century London’s shadows while challenging antisemitic stereotypes.” Hope you can join us!
