Brooklyn Store Cancels Event Over ‘Zionist’ Moderator

Author Joshua Leifer was set for a live interview with Rabbi Andy Bachman on Tuesday at the Powerhouse Arena in the DUMBO neighborhood of Brooklyn to discuss his new book, “Tablets Shattered: The End of an American Jewish Century and the Future of Jewish Life.”
