People of the Book In the fall of 2015 I began writing a weekly column for the Five Towns Jewish Times, sort of a compendium of classic works that anyone interested in the Jewish heritage should find familiar. Put another way, these are book reviews of incredibly important works, even though they were published centuries ago. Enjoy in good health!
