SUMMARY:Book Club Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Our next meeting will be Sunday\, November 21 at 12:30pm in the comfort of your own home via Zoom! \nWe will be discussing Ulrich Alexander Boschwitz’s The Passenger \nJoin Zoom Meeting: \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/86075480643?pwd=eTZabGhnZUNEOThSOE0vbzBnbmpyQT09 \nMeeting ID: 860 7548 0643 \nPasscode: 1955 \nSYNOPSIS\n\nHailed as a remarkable literary discovery\, a lost novel of heart-stopping intensity and harrowing absurdity about flight and persecution in 1930s Germany \nBerlin\, November 1938. Jewish shops have been ransacked and looted\, synagogues destroyed. As storm troopers pound on his door\, Otto Silbermann\, a respected businessman who fought for Germany in the Great War\, is forced to sneak out the back of his own home. Turned away from establishments he had long patronized\, and fearful of being exposed as a Jew despite his Aryan looks\, he boards a train. \nAnd then another. And another . . . until his flight becomes a frantic odyssey across Germany\, as he searches first for information\, then for help\, and finally for escape. His travels bring him face-to-face with waiters and conductors\, officials and fellow outcasts\, seductive women and vicious thieves\, a few of whom disapprove of the regime while the rest embrace it wholeheartedly. \nClinging to his existence as it was just days before\, Silbermann refuses to believe what is happening even as he is beset by opportunists\, betrayed by associates\, and bereft of family\, friends\, and fortune. As his world collapses around him\, he is forced to concede that his nightmare is all too real. \nTwenty-three-year-old Ulrich Boschwitz wrote The Passenger at breakneck speed in 1938\, fresh in the wake of the Kristallnacht pogroms\, and his prose flies at the same pace. Taut\, immediate\, infused with acerbic Kafkaesque humor\, The Passenger is an indelible portrait of a man and a society careening out of control. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nUlrich Alexander Boschwitz was born in Berlin in 1915. He left Germany in 1935 for Oslo\, Norway\, studied at the Sorbonne in Paris\, and wrote two novels\, including The Passenger. Boschwitz eventually settled in England in 1939\, although he was interned as a German “enemy alien” after war broke out—despite his Jewish background—and subsequently shipped to Australia. In 1942\, Boschwitz was allowed to return to England\, but his ship was torpedoed by a German submarine and he was killed along with 362 other passengers. He was twenty-seven years old. \n

SUMMARY:Book Club Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Our next meeting will be Sunday\, October 24 in the comfort of your own home via Zoom!\nWe will be discussing Edmund de Waal’s Letters to Camondo \nJoin Zoom Meeting: \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/84379774484?pwd=ZURVSWVxM2FzcDlTNjNBWmVNMEozUT09 \nMeeting ID: 843 7977 4484\nPasscode: 1955 \nSYNOPSIS\n\nLetters to Camondo is a collection of imaginary letters from Edmund de Waal to Moise de Camondo\, the banker and art collector who created a spectacular house in Paris\, now the Musée Nissim de Camondo\, and filled it with the greatest private collection of French eighteenth-century art. \nThe Camondos were a Jewish family from Constantinople\, “the Rothschilds of the East\,” who made their home in Paris in the 1870s and became philanthropists\, art collectors\, and fixtures of Belle Époque high society\, as well as being targets of antisemitism—much like de Waal’s relations\, the Ephrussi family\, to whom they were connected. Moise de Camondo created a spectacular house and filled it with art for his son\, Nissim; after Nissim was killed in the First World War\, the house was bequeathed to the French state. Eventually\, the Camondos were murdered by the Nazis. \nAfter de Waal\, one of the world’s greatest ceramic artists\, was invited to make an exhibition in the Camondo house\, he began to write letters to Moise de Camondo. These fifty letters are deeply personal reflections on assimilation\, melancholy\, family\, art\, the vicissitudes of history\, and the value of memory. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nEdmund de Waal is an artist who has exhibited in museums and galleries around the world. His bestselling memoir\, The Hare with Amber Eyes\, has won many prizes and has been translated into twenty-nine languages. The White Road\, a journey into the history of porcelain\, was published in 2015. He lives in London with his family. \n

SUMMARY:Book Club Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Our next meeting will be Sunday\, September 26 in the comfort of your own home via Zoom! \nWe will be discussing Rachel Kadish’s The Weight of Ink \nJoin Zoom Meeting:\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/87994012790?pwd=M3E3QkFYTUMxVU9MVCsxd1RKTnNXQT09 \nMeeting ID: 879 9401 2790 \nPasscode: 1955 \nSYNOPSIS\n\nWinner of a National Jewish Book Award \nA USA Today Bestseller \nSet in London of the 1660s and of the early twenty-first century\,The Weight of Ink is the interwoven tale of two women of remarkable intellect: Ester Velasquez\, an emigrant from Amsterdam who is permitted to scribe for a blind rabbi\, just before the plague hits the city; and Helen Watt\, an ailing historian with a love of Jewish history. \nWhen Helen is summoned by a former student to view a cache of newly discovered seventeenth-century Jewish documents\, she enlists the help of Aaron Levy\, an American graduate student as impatient as he is charming\, and embarks on one last project: to determine the identity of the documents’ scribe\, the elusive “Aleph.” \nElectrifying and ambitious\, The Weight of Ink is about women separated by centuries—and the choices and sacrifices they must make in order to reconcile the life of the heart and mind. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nRachel Kadish is the award-winning author of the novels From a Sealed Room and Tolstoy Lied: a Love Story\, as well as the novella I Was Here. Her work has appeared on NPR and in the New York Times\, Ploughshares\, and Tin House\, and has been anthologized in the Pushcart Prize Anthology and elsewhere. \nShe has been a fiction fellow of the National Endowment for the Arts and the Massachusetts Cultural Council\, has received the National Jewish Book Award\, the Association of Jewish Libraries Fiction Award\, and the John Gardner Fiction Award\, and was the Koret Writer-in-Residence at Stanford University. \nShe lives outside Boston and teaches in Lesley University’s MFA Program in Creative Writing.

SUMMARY:Book Club Meeting
DESCRIPTION:We will be discussing Max Gross’s The Lost Shtetl \nJoin Zoom Meeting:\nClick here \nMeeting ID: 884 9888 0227\nPasscode: 1955 \nSYNOPSIS\n\nWinner of the National Jewish Book Award and the Jewish Fiction Award from the Association of Jewish Libraries \nWhat if there was a town that history missed? \nFor decades\, the tiny Jewish shtetl of Kreskol existed in happy isolation\, virtually untouched and unchanged. Spared by the Holocaust and the Cold War\, its residents enjoyed remarkable peace. It missed out on cars\, and electricity\, and the internet\, and indoor plumbing. But when a marriage dispute spins out of control\, the whole town comes crashing into the twenty-first century. \nPesha Lindauer\, who has just suffered an ugly\, acrimonious divorce\, suddenly disappears. A day later\, her husband goes after her\, setting off a panic among the town elders. They send a woefully unprepared outcast named Yankel Lewinkopf out into the wider world to alert the Polish authorities. \nVenturing beyond the remote safety of Kreskol\, Yankel is confronted by the beauty and the ravages of the modern-day outside world – and his reception is met with a confusing mix of disbelief\, condescension\, and unexpected kindness. When the truth eventually surfaces\, his story and the existence of Kreskol make headlines nationwide. \nReturning Yankel to Kreskol\, the Polish government plans to reintegrate the town that time forgot. Yet in doing so\, the devious origins of its disappearance come to the light. And what has become of the mystery of Pesha and her former husband? Divided between those embracing change and those clinging to its old world ways\, the people of Kreskol will have to find a way to come together . . .  or risk their village disappearing for good. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nMax Gross is a former staff writer for the New York Post and the Forward and is currently the Editor in Chief of the Commercial Observer. He lives in New York City with his wife and son. \n

SUMMARY:BOOK CLUB MEETING
DESCRIPTION:Our next meeting will be Sunday\, July 25 in the comfort of your own home via Zoom!\nWe will be discussing Adi Schwartz’s and Einat Wilf’s The War of Return \nJoin Zoom Meeting: Click here \nMeeting ID: 857 2451 5333\nPasscode: 1955 \nSYNOPSIS\n\nTwo prominent Israeli liberals argue that for the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians to end with peace\, Palestinians must come to terms with the fact that there will be no “right of return.” \nIn 1948\, seven hundred thousand Palestinians were forced out of their homes by the first Arab-Israeli War. More than seventy years later\, most of their houses are long gone\, but millions of their descendants are still registered as refugees\, with many living in refugee camps. This group―unlike countless others that were displaced in the aftermath of World War II and other conflicts―has remained unsettled\, demanding to settle in the state of Israel. Their belief in a “right of return” is one of the largest obstacles to successful diplomacy and lasting peace in the region. \nIn The War of Return\, Adi Schwartz and Einat Wilf―both liberal Israelis supportive of a two-state solution―reveal the origins of the idea of a right of return\, and explain how UNRWA – the very agency charged with finding a solution for the refugees – gave in to Palestinian\, Arab and international political pressure to create a permanent “refugee” problem. They argue that this Palestinian demand for a “right of return” has no legal or moral basis and make an impassioned plea for the US\, the UN\, and the EU to recognize this fact\, for the good of Israelis and Palestinians alike. \nA runaway bestseller in Israel\, the first English translation of The War of Return is certain to spark lively debate throughout America and abroad. \nABOUT THE AUTHORS \nADI SCHWARTZ is an Israeli researcher and author. His work focuses on the Arab-Israeli conflict and Israeli history and current affairs. \nEINAT WILF is a former Israeli politician who served as a member of Knesset for Independence and the Labor Party. She is one of Israel’s leading public intellectuals. \n

SUMMARY:Book Club Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Our next meeting will be Sunday\, June 27 in the comfort of your own home via Zoom! \nWe will be discussing Alison Pick’s Between Gods: A Memoir. \nJoin Zoom Meeting: \nhttps://zoom.us/j/94680832340?pwd=NXk0eHl5RFozNEpldS95UEFlUEYvZz09  \nMeeting ID: 946 8083 2340 \nPassword: 1955\n\nSYNOPSIS\n\nAlison Pick was born in the 1970s and raised in a supportive\, loving family. She grew up laughing with her sister and cousins\, and doting on her grandparents. Then as a teenager\, Alison made a discovery that instantly changed her understanding of her family\, and her vision for her own life\, forever. She learned that her Pick grandparents\, who had escaped from the Czech Republic during WWII\, were Jewish–and that most of this side of the family had died in concentration camps. She also discovered that her own father had not known of this history until\, in his twenties\, he had a chance encounter with an old family friend–and then he\, too\, had kept the secret from Alison and her sister. \nIn her early thirties\, engaged to be married to her longtime boyfriend but struggling with a crippling depression\, Alison slowly but doggedly began to research and uncover her Jewish heritage. Eventually she came to realize that her true path forward was to reclaim her history and indentity as a Jew. But even then\, one seemingly insurmountable problem remained: her mother wasn’t Jewish\, so technically Alison wasn’t either. In this by times raw\, by times sublime memoir\, Alison recounts her struggle with the meaning of her faith\, her journey to convert to Judaism\, her battle with depression\, and her path towards facing and accepting the past and embracing the future–including starting a new family of her own. This is her unusual and gripping story\, told in crystalline prose and with all the nuance and drama of a novel\, but illuminated with heartbreaking insight into the very real lives of the dead\, and hard-won hope for the lives of all those who carry on after. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nAlison Pick was the 2002 winner of the Bronwen Wallace Award for the most promising young writer in Canada. She has published three acclaimed volumes of poetry\, and her first novel\, The Sweet Edge (2005)\, was a Globe and Mail “Best Book.” Her second novel\, the bestselling Far to Go (2010)\, was nominated for the Man Booker Prize\, won the Canadian Jewish Award for Fiction\, and was named a “Top Ten of 2010” book by the Toronto Star and NOW Magazine. It was also published internationally to acclaim. Her memoir\, Between Gods\, was also published internationally\, was a finalist for the BC National Award for Non-Fiction\, and was a Globe and Mail “Best Book” of 2014. The author lives in Toronto\, Ontario. \n
