Local Authors and Books | Jewish Historical Society

From time to time the JHSNJ receives donated books from authors who have either grown up in our neighborhoods or have authored books that pertain to the Jewish experience of growing up in these neighborhoods. This week we pictorially feature some of these authors and their books. Most of these books can be bought online.
