All are welcome to attend this free event, and books will be available for purchase and signing. Beck is a marketing consultant and professor of marketing, advertising, and sales management in the MBA program at Rutgers University. He was a Hebrew School principal and the founder of B’nai Keshet Reconstructionist Synagogue in Montclair. Professor Beck brings a new perspective to the study of Torah, in which he explores various Bible stories in light of modern-day marketing techniques.

Glen Rock Jewish Center is located at 682 Harristown Road.

Some homes never lost power, telephone, or Internet service. J. KOSTER
