The new Temple Beth El Book Club welcomes all TBE members to engage in challenging, but accessible, contemporary Jewish writings and to have extended discussions about them. We choose books that can help us to navigate the current moment, works that recognize this is a creative and fraught time for thinking about Judaism and Jewish identity.
Upcoming Books:
- June 12: To Jerusalem and Back by Nobel prize winner Saul Bellow, published in 1976.
- August 14: Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza: A Reckoning by Peter Beinart, published in 2025.
