SUMMARY:The David Discovery – J-Talk with Author Eric Rozenman
DESCRIPTION:In collaboration with the J-Men’s GroupAges: 18+ \n\n\n\nJoin us for an afternoon of history\, mystery\, and imagination as author Eric Rozenman discusses his new novel\, “The David Discovery: A Novel of the Near Future” (Academica Press\, 2025). Books will be available for purchase and signing. \n\n\n\nThe David Discovery spans centuries\, weaving together lives touched by faith\, power\, and prophecy. From the warrior “Sorceress” of 8th-century North Africa to an Ottoman advisor during Napoleon’s siege of Acre\, from a Holocaust survivor to a modern-day Cuban pop star—the threads of a royal bloodline endure. Hidden\, hunted\, and destined to resurface\, this lineage may hold the key to an ancient mystery as old as Jerusalem itself. \n\n\n\nAuthor’s Bio: Rozenman is a writer and commentator whose work bridges history\, politics\, and the Jewish experience. His articles have appeared in The Washington Post\, Los Angeles Times\, Times of Israel\, and other major outlets. He is also the author of “From Elvis to Trump: Eyewitness to the Unraveling” (2021) and “Jews Make the Best Demons” (2018)\, along with two earlier novels. \n\n\n\nFee: $0 Members/$15 Non-members
