The Books We’re Reading during The Three Weeks and Tisha b’Av

In this episode of 613 Book Podcast, we are focusing on some of the books that Jewish readers are perusing and recommending during this period of mourning on our calendar. Award-winning journalist and theatre director, Toby Klein Greenwald leads the way with reading suggestions that are varied and powerful. Author and community leader Miriam Liebermann tells us about a riveting, deeply evocative novel set against the backdrop of the Second Temple, with the Romans poised for all-out war and destruction.
