The Ten Greatest Books in Jewish History

Hosted By: Orange County Community Scholar Program (CSP)

We will NOT discuss the most critically acclaimed books, nor the best selling Jewish books, but rather the 10 Jewish books (not including the Five Books of Moses) that have had the greatest influence on the Jewish people. We will explore the importance of each book and discuss some samples from each one. Finally, we will make some predications about some contemporary books that may become classics.

3:30 ET/12:30 PT
