You might recall that last month, I mentioned an upcoming anthology called Scribblers on the Roof, based on the reading series at the Upper West Side synagogue Ansche Chesed. Well, last Sunday night, the synagogue hosted the book's launch party, and though I wasn't able to attend (too busy getting the cat pictures in order before I left for the hospital), many of the contributors got together for this group photo, which publicist Meryl Zegarek kindly sent along. For more information about the reading series and the book, check out Mary Phillips-Sandy's article for KGB Bar Lit.
