Each year, the AJL Fiction Award Committee reads over seventy books with Jewish content. Come hear all about our favorites from 2023 and 2024. We’ll cover literary fiction and genre fiction, the buzz-worthy names in Jewish literature and the lesser gems that you may have missed, the best books for discussion groups, and the notable forthcoming titles. Bring your thoughts and opinions about the books you’ve read for a lively audience discussion, too!
