"Read
It & Meet" Book Discussions
|
Do you
have a favorite book you'd like to share ... one by a Jewish
author or with Jewish content? Our "Read It & Meet"
Book Discussions are held once a month and are open to everyone!
We discuss selected books and share our experiences, reactions,
and ideas. Occassionally, we have an "author-in-residence"
as a special guest.
Most book discussions take place Shabbat afternoons (exceptions
are noted below) following Kiddush with the congregation
(approximately 12:00 noon). Moderators are needed to facilitate
each book discussion. If you would like to suggest a book,
act as a moderator, or would like more information, please
contact Vicki at vickauf@juno.com
or Rayna at rgellman@cox.net.
Purchase books (and more!) through
Amazon.com's Associates Program and
Congregation Anshei Israel receives
from 4% to 8.5% in compensation.
It's easy! Click on the link above.
