We are excited to launch our new Beth Shalom Book Club!  We will gather in the Beit Midrash and Zoom quarterly for lively and engaging conversations centered on Jewish themes, with refreshments to accompany our readings and reflections. We will meet on four Monday evenings at 6pm (Nov. 3, Jan. 5, Mar. 9, and May 4), and each session will be facilitated by a different member to ensure inclusive discussion.

 If you’d like to join, please email lyriccrane@bethshalomseattle.org or check Cybershul for more information. We hope you’ll enrich each gathering with your voice as we read, reflect, and connect over the year ahead.

This year’s book club theme will be Israeli fiction in translation:

• Nov 3rd = The Beauty Queen of Jerusalem by Sarit Yishai-Levi
• Jan 5th = The Hilltop by Assaf Gavron
• March 9th = Second Person Singular by Sayed Kashua
• May 4th = The Property by Rutu Modan
