Last month, our annual Pot-luck dinner/Video night was a great evening. Thanks again to Dee for opening her lovely home. Also last month, Sally graciously hosted a Book Club evening with Rabbi Tucker when we discussed everything form raising Jewish children, to books--of course!
On August 26, in the Beit Midrash, we'll meet to discuss Mazel by Rebecca Goldstein at 7:30 pm. Be aware that Borders is unable to order this book, but it's available on Amazon, and the Princeton Library has ordered copies for us. And, there's a copy in the TJC Library.
We won't be meeting in September--it's a very busy month with the High Holidays. May it be a sweet year for all.
After the holidays, we'll continue our monthly meetings--please mark your calendars. These books follow Jews in Australia, France, Israel, Poland and the US in very different time periods:
- On October 7, in the Adult Library, Pictures at an Exhibition by Sara Houghteling.
- On November 18, in the Adult Library , Bryce Courtenay's Power of One.
- On December 9, in the Adult Library, Dara Horn's All Other Nights.
- In January we'll read Jennifer Weiner's In Her Shoes to combat the gray days of winter.
- And, in February, we'll read Linda Grant's The People on the Street
Feel free to come to our meetings whether you liked the book or not, or even if you haven't finished it. All of our books can be ordered on-line through the Amazon link above to earn a commission for the Synagogue.
Multiple copies of our selections are usually available at Border’s Bookstore, and the Princeton Public Library on the “Book Club” table.
