LIVINGSTON, NJ — The National Council of Jewish Women, Essex County Section will hold its 2018 opening event on Tuesday, Oct. 23, featuring charming and witty best-selling author Jennifer Weiner.
Weiner’s books have spent more than five years on The New York Times bestseller list with more than 11 million copies in print in 36 countries.
