Thank you to the hundreds of people who came by the Gaon Books booth in the first two days of the URJ Biennial, to those who stopped to look at the books and talk, to those who bought books from Ruth Sohn's Crossing Cairo about being Jewish in Egypt to Reb Zalman's A Hidden Light about early Hasidic rabbis in eastern Europe, Patricia Shapiro's The Privilege of Aging about Jewish women and the new super agers, Arthur Gross-Schaefer's The Rabbi Wore Moccasins, about a rabbi/lawyer who solves a murder mystery, and Gloria Abella Ballen's just published The Power of the Hebrew Alphabet that was described by a buyer as "ravishingly beautiful" and to the buyers of all the other books. Here are some of the photos at the booth and of a few of the people who stopped by.
