14th Annual San Diego Jewish Book Fair

November 3, 2008 - 3:11 pm

The 14th annual Jewish Book Fair runs from Thursday, Nov. 6 to Thursday, Nov. 13, featuring eight straight days of lectures and events with authors, journalists, and actors ranging from Henry Winkler (better known as “The Fonz” from Happy Days) to Jonathan Safran Foer (author of Everything is Illuminated). 

What is guaranteed to be the most inflammatory event of the festival is a closing night debate between atheist author Christopher Hitchens (God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything) and L.A.-based Rabbi David J. Wolpe (author of Why Faith Matters). The New York Times Cityroom blog covered last Wednesday’s heated debate between the two at NY’s Temple Emanu-El, and the forthcoming conversation in San Diego is poised to spark just as much controversy. See the New York Times article for more on the discussion. 

The debate takes place on Thursday, Nov. 13 at 7:30 p.m. at the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center, 4126 Executive Drive, La Jolla. See the LFJCC website for details on all the Book Fair events.
