2) Upcoming Book Launch Events

Rabbi Pear would like to extend his heartfelt gratitude for all the support he has received from the community with regards to his new book, The Accidental Zionist.  Not only are local sales quite brisk, but in the U.S. — where the book has only been available a couple of weeks — the book has already skyrocketed to the top of Amazon.com’s bestseller lists, including becoming #1 in its Jewish Philosophy section, #1 in its Israel section, #3 in its Philosophy of Religion section and #4 in the overall Judaism section.  Here is the Amazon link for anyone interested: http://www.amazon.com/Accidental-Zionist-Pornographer-Wrestler-Chainsaw/dp/0981503209/ref=pd_ts_b_2?ie=UTF8&s=books
