The St. Louis Jewish Book Festival Announces Four Headlining Authors

ST. LOUIS - Aug. 7, 2023 - PRLog -- The 2023 St. Louis Jewish Book Festival has not one, but four major authors headlining the 45th annual book festival that will be held Nov. 5-19, 2023. The Jewish Community Center will host Andrew Rhea, Rebecca Minkoff, Martin Fletcher, and Mitch Albom throughout the two-week-long event.

On November 7 at the festival's cookbook panel, YouTube star Andrew Rea, from "Basics with Babish," will show off his latest cookbook, written to help troubleshoot anything from broken butter to burnt bread to bony branzino. "Basics with Babish" is a kitchen Bible for the new generation of trial-and-error home chefs.

On November 9, Luxury fashion mogul and social activist Rebecca Minkoff will kick off Women's Night with her latest book, "Fearless: The New Rules For Unlocking Creativity, Courage, And Success."

"Rebecca Minkoff is not only an icon in the fashion dimension as a world-renowned designer, but she is also a business maven whose efforts to recognize the unique struggles of women and mothers in the workplace are reflected in her podcast and in her book," said Hannah Dinkel, Director of Literary Arts at the J.

NBC news correspondent and National Jewish Book Award–winner, Martin Fletcher, will be presenting his latest book, "Teachers: The Ones I Can't Forget" on November 14. This book features photographic montages paired with moving stories of resilience collected from Fletcher's memories in international news coverage.

Mitch Albom, author of the #1 Bestseller "The Stranger in the Lifeboat," will close out the festival on November 19 discussing his latest novel, "The Little Liar," which will be officially released during the book festival. This moving story of three Holocaust survivors focuses on the consequences of what they said, did, and endured as children to survive such a devastating moment in history.

In addition, the festival will offer a diverse lineup of bestselling authors, investigative journalists, historians, and more. Highlights include:

• Internationally acclaimed intuitive self-improvement advisor and psychic medium Rebecca Rosen will discuss her book, "What's Your Heaven? 7 Lessons to Heal the Past and Live Fully Now."
• Historian and specialist for Holocaust and German-Jewish history, Wolf Gruner, will speak on his newest book, "Resisters: How Ordinary Jews Fought Persecution in Hitler's Germany."
