Dubbed “The Queen of Jewish Romance,” Jean Meltzer is the international bestselling author of “The Matzah Ball,” “Mr. Perfect on Paper,""Kissing Kosher,""Magical Meet Cute,” and her latest, “The Eight Heartbreaks of Hanukkah.” In 2006, Jean left the entertainment industry and moved to Israel to study in rabbinical school, seeking a deeper connection to her faith and identity. Though her studies were eventually cut short due to her health, the experience profoundly shaped her voice and purpose as a writer. When her father encouraged her to write a book — “just not a Jewish one, because no one reads those” — she defied that advice, and, in doing so, helped transform the landscape of Jewish commercial fiction. Come listen to her story and enjoy a book signing. To register, [click here](https://www.ohev.org/event/an-afternoon-with-jean-meltzer-book-talk--signing.html).
