SUMMARY:Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Our next meeting will be Sunday\, November 27 at 12:30pm in the comfort of your own home via Zoom! \nWe will be discussing Joshua Cohen’s: The Netanyahus \nJoin Zoom Meeting \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/82385443644?pwd=Wkd2VFVBM0t6VmdMQm5LaCtaNzk2Zz09  \nMeeting ID: 823 8544 3644 \nPasscode: 1955 \nSYNOPSIS \nWINNER OF THE 2022 PULITZER PRIZE FOR FICTION\n2021 NATIONAL JEWISH BOOK AWARD WINNER\nA NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF 2021\nA WALL STREET JOURNAL BEST BOOK OF 2021\nA KIRKUS BEST FICTION BOOK OF 2021 \n“Absorbing\, delightful\, hilarious\, breathtaking and the best and most relevant novel I’ve read in what feels like forever.”  —Taffy Brodesser-Akner\, The New York Times Book \n“Corbin College\, not quite upstate New York\, winter 1959–1960: Ruben Blum\, a Jewish historian—but not an historian of the Jews—is co-opted onto a hiring committee to review the application of an exiled Israeli scholar specializing in the Spanish Inquisition. When Benzion Netanyahu shows up for an interview\, family unexpectedly in tow\, Blum plays the reluctant host to guests who proceed to lay waste to his American complacencies. Mixing fiction with nonfiction\, the campus novel with the lecture\, The Netanyahus is a wildly inventive\, genre-bending comedy of blending\, identity\, and politics that finds Joshua Cohen at the height of his powers”. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \n Joshua Cohen was born in 1980 in Atlantic City. His books include the novels The Netanyahus\, winner of the 2022 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction\, Moving Kings\, Book of Numbers\, Witz\, A Heaven of Others\, and Cadenza for the Schneidermann Violin Concerto; the short-fiction collection Four New Messages\, and the nonfiction collection Attention: Dispatches from a Land of Distraction. Cohen was awarded Israel’s 2013 Matanel Prize for Jewish Writers\, and in 2017 was named one of Granta’s Best Young American Novelists. He lives in New York City.

SUMMARY:Book Club Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Our next meeting will be Sunday\, October 23 at 12:30pm in the comfort of your own home via Zoom! \nWe will be discussing Rebecca Miller’s: Jacob’s Folly \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/81960976084?pwd=N2ZkYkpBYWFjK0FUM2tRN0c4Nk1Fdz09 \nMeeting ID: 819 6097 6084\nPasscode: 1955 \nSYNOPSIS \nJacob’s Folly is a rollicking\, ingenious\, saucy book\, brimful of sparkling\, unexpected characters\, that takes on desire\, faith\, love\, acting-and reincarnation. \nIn eighteenth-century Paris\, Jacob Cerf is a Jew\, a peddler of knives\, saltcellars\, and snuffboxes. Despite a disastrous teenage marriage\, he is determined to raise himself up in life\, by whatever means he can. More than two hundred years later\, Jacob is amazed to find himself reincarnated as a fly in the Long Island suburbs of twenty-first-century America\, his new life twisted in ways he could never have imagined. But even the tiniest of insects can influence the turning of the world\, and thanks to his arrival\, the lives of a reliable volunteer fireman and a young Orthodox Jewish woman nursing a secret ambition will never be the same. \nThrough the unique lens of Jacob’s consciousness\, Rebecca Miller explores change in all its different guises-personal\, spiritual\, literal. The hold of the past on the present\, the power of private hopes and dreams\, the collision of fate and free will: Miller’s world-which is our own\, transfigured by her clear gaze and by her sharp\, surprising wit-comes brilliantly to life in the pages of this profoundly original novel. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \n Rebecca Miller is the author of the short-story collection Personal Velocity\, her feature-film adaptation of which won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance\, and the novels The Private Lives of Pippa Lee (FSG\, 2008)\, which she also adapted for the screen\, and Jacob’s Folly (FSG\, 2013). Her other films include Angela\, The Ballad of Jack and Rose\, and Maggie’s Plan. She lives in New York with her family. \n

SUMMARY:Book Club Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Our next meeting will be Sunday\, September 18 at 12:30pm in the comfort of your own home via Zoom! \nWe will be discussing Olga Tokarczuk’s The Books of Jacob \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/81355181514?pwd=QmhLdDZ6ekQ2a1FLMmRWK2tXU0F0Zz09 \nMeeting ID: 813 5518 1514\nPasscode: 1955 \nSYNOPSIS \nThe Nobel Prize–winner’s richest\, most sweeping and ambitious novel yet follows the comet-like rise and fall of a mysterious\, messianic religious leader as he blazes his way across eighteenth-century Europe. \nIn the mid-eighteenth century\, as new ideas—and a new unrest—begin to sweep the Continent\, a young Jew of mysterious origins arrives in a village in Poland. Before long\, he has changed not only his name but his persona; visited by what seem to be ecstatic experiences\, Jacob Frank casts a charismatic spell that attracts an increasingly fervent following. In the decade to come\, Frank will traverse the Hapsburg and Ottoman empires with throngs of disciples in his thrall as he reinvents himself again and again\, converts to Islam and then Catholicism\, is pilloried as a heretic and revered as the Messiah\, and wreaks havoc on the conventional order\, Jewish and Christian alike\, with scandalous rumors of his sect’s secret rituals and the spread of his increasingly iconoclastic beliefs. The story of Frank—a real historical figure around whom mystery and controversy swirl to this day—is the perfect canvas for the genius and unparalleled reach of Olga Tokarczuk. Narrated through the perspectives of his contemporaries—those who revere him\, those who revile him\, the friend who betrays him\, the lone woman who sees him for what he is—The Books of Jacob captures a world on the cusp of precipitous change\, searching for certainty and longing for transcendence. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \n Olga Tokarczuk has won the Nobel Prize in Literature and the Man Booker International Prize\, among many other honors. She is the author of a dozen works of fiction\, two collections of essays\, and a children’s book; her work has been translated into fifty languages.

SUMMARY:Selihot
DESCRIPTION:This Saturday night at 9:30 we will usher in the final countdown to the High Holidays with our yearly Seliḥot (“Penitential”) service\, preparing ourselves spiritually and ethically for the High Holiday season. This year we will have the choice to attend in-person\, or participate remotely over two different virtual platforms\, StreamSpot and Zoom.  \n  \nSeliḥot is a good way to get into the mood of these “Days of Awe\,” as well as refamiliarize ourselves with some of the beautiful High Holiday melodies we’ll soon sing together on Rosh haShanah and Yom Kippur in synagogue.  \n  \nThis year’s Seliḥot is unique\, as we will all have a chance to hear and meet our High Holiday ḥazzan\, Jonathon Adler\, who will be joining us remotely from away. Jonathon is a Rabbinical School student at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York\, and we are excited to welcome him (and his beautiful singing voice) to the Shaar to enrich our tefillah\, beginning with Seliḥot.  \n  \nWe will gather in-person in the Shaar sanctuary this Saturday night at 9:30\, and the StreamSpot and Zoom webcasts will be live then.  \n  \nLooking forward to sharing this very unique service with you.

SUMMARY:Book Club Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Our next meeting will be Sunday\, August 21 at 12:30 pm in the comfort of your own home via Zoom. We will be discussing Libby Copeland’s The Lost Family. To join the Zoom meeting\, click here (Password: 1955) \nSYNOPSIS \nYou swab your cheek or spit into a vial\, then send it away to a lab somewhere. Weeks later you get a report that might tell you where your ancestors came from or if you carry certain genetic risks. Or the report could reveal a long-buried family secret and upend your entire sense of identity. Soon a lark becomes an obsession\, an incessant desire to find answers to questions at the core of your being\, like “Who am I?” and “Where did I come from?” Welcome to the age of home genetic testing. \nIn The Lost Family\, journalist Libby Copeland investigates what happens when we embark on a vast social experiment with little understanding of the ramifications. Copeland explores the culture of genealogy buffs\, the science of DNA\, and the business of companies like Ancestry and 23andMe\, all while tracing the story of one woman\, her unusual results\, and a relentless methodical drive for answers that becomes a thoroughly modern genetic detective story. \nThe Lost Family delves into the many lives that have been irrevocably changed by home DNA tests—a technology that represents the end of family secrets. There are the adoptees who’ve used the tests to find their birth parents; donor-conceived adults who suddenly discover they have more than fifty siblings; hundreds of thousands of Americans who discover their fathers aren’t biologically related to them\, a phenomenon so common it is known as a “non-paternity event”; and individuals who are left to grapple with their conceptions of race and ethnicity when their true ancestral histories are discovered. Throughout these accounts\, Copeland explores the impulse toward genetic essentialism and raises the question of how much our genes should get to tell us about who we are. With more than thirty million people having undergone home DNA testing\, the answer to that question is more important than ever. \nGripping and masterfully told\, The Lost Family is a spectacular book on a big\, timely subject. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \n Libby Copeland is an award-winning journalist who writes about culture\, science and human behavior. Her book\, The Lost Family\, published March 3\, 2020\, looks at the impact of home DNA testing on the American family. A staff reporter and editor for The Washington Post for over a decade\, she now writes from New York for publications including The Atlantic\, Slate\, New York Magazine\, Smithsonian Magazine\, The New York Times\, The New Republic\, Esquire.com\, The Wall Street Journal\, Fast Company\, Glamour and more. In recent years\, she’s chronicled the cultural and personal implications of at-home DNA testing. \n

SUMMARY:Book Club
DESCRIPTION:We will be discussing Kathrine Kressmann Taylor’s Address Unknown \nJoin Zoom Meeting \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/86285011614?pwd=ZFBzMGJHYnE4NXJlbzBBMVJ4cHdLZz09 \nMeeting ID: 862 8501 1614 \nPasscode: 1955 \nSYNOPSIS \nA rediscovered classic and international bestseller that recounts the gripping tale of a friendship destroyed at the hands of Nazi Germany  \nIn this searing novel\, Kathrine Kressmann Taylor brings vividly to life the insidious spread of Nazism through a series of letters between Max\, a Jewish art dealer in San Francisco\, and Martin\, his friend and former business partner who has returned to Germany in 1932\, just as Hitler is coming to power. \nOriginally published in Story magazine in 1938\, Address Unknown became an international sensation. Credited with exposing the dangers of Nazism to American readers early on\, it is also a scathing indictment of fascist movements around the world and a harrowing exposé of the power of the pen as a weapon. \nA powerful and eloquent tale about the consequences of a friendship—and society—poisoned by extremism\, Address Unknown remains hauntingly and painfully relevant today. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \n Kathrine Kressmann Taylor was an American author best remembered for Address Unknown\, originally published in Story magazine in 1938. She was also the author of Day of No Return\, and a professor of creative writing and journalism at Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania for nineteen years. Kressmann Taylor died in Minnesota in 1996.
