Books & Books opens a four-part monthly series running through December, built around what the country's 250th anniversary means to the people who live here. Founder Mitchell Kaplan gives the welcome, and Miami Herald religion reporter Lauren Costantino moderates a panel of South Florida faith leaders: Rabbi Judith Siegal of Temple Judea, Dr. Mohammad Homayounvash of Miami Dade College's Jaffer Institute for Interfaith Dialogue, and the Rev. Dr. Walter T. Richardson, longtime chaplain to Miami-Dade law enforcement. A catered reception and audience Q&A follow, and the first fifty through the door leave with a book tied to the night's theme.
