Leslie Brittman Literary Event
Every year, Shalom Austin hosts the Leslie Brittman Literary Event for the community to enjoy hearing from a featured author. The event was made possible by the generosity of the Leslie S.

Marvin and his children, Rochelle and David, dedicated this fund to fostering a love of literature and the sharing of ideas.
