Deepening Our Connection to Am Yisrael: Listening to the diverse Voices and Stories of our Land and Our People

December 5th we will discuss The Gates of Gaza: A Story of Betrayal, Survival, and Hope in Israel's Borderlands

February 27th we will discuss We Will Dance Again: A novel about October 7th and Jewish Resilience by Aviva Gat

May 22nd we will discuss To Be a Jew Today: A New Guide to God, Israel, and the Jewish People by Noah Feldman

Together we’ll read & discuss in small groups engaging books, fiction and nonfiction, that will open our minds to new ideas, inspire us to read more, and challenge us to grapple with the world as it is. 

Book titles for this year’s three sessions will be sent to registrants two months before our first session, if not sooner. (For a list of the books this evolving club has read in the previous 3 years, click here.)
