Thank the Jewish Federation of San Gabriel and Pomona Valleys for picking up Los Angeles’ slack this month. You may have to drive a little farther, but you can still partake in the National Jewish Book Month festivities. This week, authors Sylvia Rouss (“Sammy Spider”)and Rochelle Krich (“Blues in the Night”) each have a book signing. And later this month, you can hear discussions with Joseph Telushkin, Jonathan Safran Foer and Sheila Kaufman, among others.
