Other highlights from the AJBF, which runs Nov. 3-12, include Wednesday evening's Treasure and Trash program with Alicia Oltuski (Precious Objects: A Story of Diamonds, Family, and a Way of Life) and Adina Hoffman and Peter Cole (Sacred Trash: The Lost and Found World of the Cairo Geniza), as well as Thursday evening's conversation with Wired's Steven Levy (In the Plex: How Google Thinks, Works, and Shapes Our Lives). To celebrate the Global Day of Jewish Learning, the fair culminates in Sunday's series of sessions on foundational Jewish texts (registration required).
