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. Brittman Literary Fund, named in honor of Marvin Brittman’s wife Leslie, who died of cancer in 2016. Marvin and his children, Rochelle and David, dedicated this fund to fostering a love of literature and the sharing of ideas.

Past authors:

Bess Kalb, Nobody Will Tell You This But Me: A True (as told to me) Story
Deborah Gaal, The Dream Stitcher
Yvette Manessis Corporon, Something Beautiful Happened: A Story of Survival and Courage in the Face of Evil
