Close to 100 people attended a discussion at Barnes & Noble Eastside of Rabbi Joseph Telushkin’s new book “Rebbe: The Most Influential Rabbi in Modern History” (HarperCollins) on Wednesday, June 11. Speakers were Rabbi Yossie Shemtov, Bruce Ash and Rabbi Yehuda Ceitlin. “It was a well anticipated book release that has been flying off the shelves,” says Eva Stokas of Barnes & Noble.
