David Schein has authored three books, published by Burlington’s Fomite Press, with a fourth, STONES, due out soon.

About OZ’s Lunch and Learns:

In-Person in the Ohavi Zedek’s Social Hall. No Zoom unless conditions change, but a number of Lunch & Learns will be filmed by CCTV for posting 2 to 3 weeks after the event on the cctv.org web site — when on their site search for “Ohavi Zedek”.

Speakers cover a wide range of topics. A delicious lunch will be offered, which is served promptly at NOON. The talks begin at about 12:15pm and end no later than 1:15pm (including some time for Q&A).

Suggested cash contribution of $10 for food can be paid on the registration form or collected at the event — but feel free to give more or less. Please also consider sponsoring one or more Lunch & Learn to help cover expenses. Information on this is on the registration page.
