From Mike Lainoff Assistant Executive Director The AJCC is pleased to present “Book Ends,” a program in celebration of Jewish Book Month, on Saturday evening, Nov. 22, and Sunday, Nov. 23. Book Ends will have something for everyone. Books to buy, books to look at, books to admire. New books, used books and rare books. PLUS...records, tapes, calendars, gift wraps, greeting cards and more... Saturday evening will feature, as part of Cafe Dizengoff, Yale Strom, in an informal bistro setting. Sunday will feature two well-known authors, Charles Silberman and Rabbi Dov Edelstein. Silberman, who will deliver the Sidney Janus Memorial Lecture, is one of this country’s most dis tinguished journalist/scholars. He is the author of four of the most provocative and influential books of the last quarter century: “Crisis in Black and White” (1964), “Crisis in the Classroom” (1970), “Criminal Violence, Criminal Justice” (1978), and “A Certain People: American Jews and Their Lives Today” perceived by their Christian neighbors. Silberman s topic will be “Jews in America: 1 Have Good News and Bad News.” Silberman is coming to Atlanta as the Sidney Janus Memorial lecturer by Mrs. Lea Janus and the Ahavath Achim Synagogue. Rabbi Edelstein will speak on his book, “Worlds Torn Asunder.” He is a survivor of Auschwitz and Bergen Belsen and he tells in “Worlds Torn Asunder” how faith can make all the difference when there is nothing else left to hold on to. Strom is a graduate of San Diego University and New York University, with a master’s degree in Yid dish studies emphasizing the social history of the klezmer (Yiddish folk instrumentalist), 1880-1939. He has been involved with klezmer music since 1981 when he did field recordings in Eastern Europe and used this material as repertoire for his band, Zmi- ros. Zmiros’ new recording, “Eclectic Klezz,” features 12 tunes, five of which were composed by Strom. Both this album and the previous “Cholent with Huckleb erry” were produced by Strom and are distributed nationally. Strom is coming to Atlanta courtesy of a grant from Temple Emanu-El.
