“King David Playing the Harp” by Gerard van Honthorst
4 Davids and a complicated king. King David played a harp, but he also played loose. Four local Davids — a rabbi, a Jewish community CEO, a professor and a retired aerospace engineer — weigh in on their name and their not-always-kingly namesake. Part of One Bay One Book programming.
