Twenty years ago, a group of Temple members, led by Rabbi Kulwin, began reading together. Since then, the members of the TBA Book Group have read over 250 books together, and continue to read and discuss (and argue!) with enthusiasm and enjoyment. If you like to read, join us! Book Group members know that modern Jewish fiction falls mainly into three categories: books about Israel, books about the Holocaust and books about Jewish life in the Diaspora. In our twentieth year, we read works from each: Some are classics and some are new, and some approach their subject in unusual ways.
On Thursday, March 7, 7:30 PM Mischling by Affinity Konar will be discussed. In 1944, Polish twins Pearl and Stasha are sent to Auschwitz, where they soon become part of Josef Mengele’s notorious experiments with twins. Pearl disappears and after liberation by the Red Army, Stasha and Feliks, whose twin had also disappeared, search Poland for their missing siblings. They also seek vengeance on perhaps the most evil doctor in history. Other dates are: Thursdays April 11, May 2 and June 6, 2019, 7:30 PM. Free and open to the community.
