Jewish Book Fair starts today
Everyone from a member of Peter, Paul and Mary to the country’s leading crusader for the salvation of Jewish deli cuisine will be part of the Jewish Book Fair which begins today at 7:30 p. m. in the Jewish Community Center, 2640 North Forest Road in Getzville with the appearance of Rich Cohen, author of “Israel Is Real: An Obsessive Quest to Understand the Jewish Nation and Its History.” Cohen is also the author of “Tough Jews” and “The Record Men.”
Highlights of the fair, which continues through Dec. 9, are:

• Peter Manseau, author of the immigrant novel “Songs for the Butcher’s Daughter” at 7:30 p. m. Dec. 1 in the Jewish Community Center Holland Building. Manseau is also the co-author of “Killing the Buddha: A Heretic’s Bible,” which traverses America in search of the immense variety of religious faith.
