If you love uncovering a villainous plot, solving a good puzzle and of course reading a fun book...then join our entertaining book discussion group.

In reading history we learn about events. In reading historical fiction we learn how people lived through them: How they were affected, what they thought and felt. In this study group we will read four books. During the first meeting we will vote on the three other books we will read. Once registered, you will be informed of the first book and location.

Co-Leaders: Rita Stulin 

4th Wednesday 10:30am begins Oct. 22

Zoom meeting

Thought provoking and a little mind bending, each month a member of the group chooses a story and leads the discussion. We will continue using Frankly Feminist, Short Stories by Jewish Women from Lilith Magazine, edited by Susan Weidman Schneider and Yona Zeldis McDonough. Available on Amazon. Once registered, you will be notified of the first story to read.

Leader: Lois Horwitz

Learn to knit or relearn if it’s been a while. For years, our members have been making lapghans and shawls for residents at Hebrew Senior Life facilities. These are the focus of our work, but any projects are welcome. Crocheters are welcome too! It’s a friendly, low pressure group, so come and kibbitz and stitch. Location to be determined. Once registered you will be informed of the location.
