Idelson Library Book Review Series
In The Catcher Was a Spy: The Mysterious Life of Moe Berg by Nicholas
Davidoff, Moe Berg was a number of things: a very bright Jewish boy who

went to Princeton and did some time at the Sorbonne, a person who spoke
12 languages, an OSS spy during World War II and a third-string catcher
in the Major Leagues. In fact, he is the only baseball player whose name
is on the wall of honor at the CIA in Washington, D.C. The book will be
reviewed by JoAnn Spiegel. Join us at 1:15 p.m. at Temple Beth Sholom,
1050 South Tuttle Ave., Sarasota. Refreshments will be served before and
after the review. No charge. For more information, contact Kelly Nester at
941.955.8121 or info@templebethsholomfl.org.
