Island Hopper
Long Island, that is! Adam will be speaking at the Metro New York USY Chapter Spring Kinnus, or weekend convention, at Temple Beth Sholom in Roslyn Heights on March 28. The talk is scheduled for 10:30 AM. The author of Coaching Ira will discuss his favorite topic (next to cereal and comic books), “Perceptions of Jews in Sports”, and will read a few passages from his critically acclaimed debut novel.
“I’m excited and honored to be speaking at another USY (United Synagogue Youth) event, especially a convention of this size.” Says Adam, whose novel, Coaching Ira, is loosely based on his own experiences as a USY teenager. “These kids were like me when I was their age. Except they probably have better hair than I did. Probably better dancers, too.”
