The Adult Education Committee warmly welcomes Suanne Kelman for our 2018-2019 Book Club Launch. Suanne has chosen Jewish guilt as the theme for this year’s Book Club.  Two books were discussed in the Fall, and two more will be the focus in the Spring.

 

All the Rivers by Dorit Rabinyan will be presented on Wednesday, March 13, 2019, 7:30 – 9:30 PM at the Darchei Noam Library in the Lower Level.

The heroine, an Israeli of Iranian origin, is loaded with guilt because she falls in love with an Arab. Her guilt stems largerly from the way he's treated in Israel.

 

The Modern Jewish Girl's Guide to Guilt, edited by Ruth Andrew Ellenson, will be presented on Thursday, April 11, 2019, 7:30 – 9:30 PM, at the Darchei Noam Library in the Lower Level.

The daughter of a rabbi and a Christian convert have compiled a collection of original essays. This compilation addresses a full range of guilt triggers for Jewish women.
