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.
