Rabbi David Blumenfeld, Ph.D.
“Mysticism’s Strong Influence in the Tanach”
The realm of the mystical experience is shared worldwide and
is reflected in a number of places in the Bible. It is the basis of
later Jewish exegesis and practice on the assumption that the Torah
contains a secret knowledge of the world that surrounds us. Does
Jewish mysticism speak to us today? Does I apply to the human
condition that exists in the 21st century?

TEPB welcomes International Bestselling Novelist Kristin
Harmel.
Kristin Harmel is the #1 international bestselling author of The
Book of Lost Names, The Winemaker’s Wife, The Room on Rue
Amelie, and a dozen other novels that have been translated into
numerous languages and sold all over the world.
A former reporter for People magazine, Kristin has been writing
professionally since the age of 16, when she began her career as a
sportswriter, covering Major League Baseball and NHL hockey for a
local magazine in Tampa Bay, Florida in the late 1990s. After stints
covering health and lifestyle for American Baby, Men’s Health,
and Woman’s Day, she became a reporter for People while still in
college and spent more than a decade working for the publication.
Her favorite stories at People, however, were the “Heroes Among
Us” features—tales of ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
One of those features—the story of Holocaust-survivor-turned-
philanthropist Henri Landwirth. rec room wine cellar
Kristin Harmel returns this summer with another surefire hit,
The Book of Lost Names, which takes readers to the heart of World
War II France—and the heart of the French Resistance—where a
Parisian graduate student fleeing the Nazis stumbles upon a forgery
ring and realizes that she has the means to save the lives of hundreds
of Jewish children. This Feels Like Home
The Book of Lost Names can be purchased at the Classic Book
Store on Palm Beach.
