SUMMARY:BOOK CLUB MEETING
DESCRIPTION:Our next meeting will be Sunday\, January 25 at 10:00am in the comfort of your own home via Zoom! \nWe will be discussing Esther Chehebar’s: Sisters of Fortune \nJOIN ZOOM MEETING \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/87030787384?pwd=nXzaXTCxrhEwFEz0BG0lWE7aPddA6i.1 \nMeeting ID: 870 3078 7384 \nPassword: 1955 \nSYNOPSIS \n“Syrian Jewish culture gets the Jane Austen treatment\, with sisters Nina\, Fortune and Lucy—the rebel\, the good girl and the baby of the family\, respectively—all on the marriage market. What’s Mama Cohen to do? Chehebar’s witty debut dives deep into Brooklyn’s Syrian Jewish community.”—People (A Best Book of the Month) \nThe Cohen sisters are at a crossroads. And not just because the obedient middle sister\, Fortune\, has secretly started to question her engagement and impending wedding\, even as her family scrambles to prepare for the big day. Nina\, the rebellious eldest sister\, is single at twenty-six (and growing cobwebs by her community’s standards) when she runs into an old friend who offers her a chance to choose a different path. Meanwhile\, Lucy\, the youngest and a senior in high school\, has started sneaking around with a charming older bachelor. \nAs Fortune inches ever closer to the chuppah\, the sisters find themselves in a tug-of-war between tradition and modernity\, reckoning with what their tight-knit community wants for them—and what they want for themselves. \nSisters of Fortune is a story about dating\, ambition\, and coming-of-age within an immigrant community whose affection is endearing\, maddening\, and never boring. This novel explores the roots that entwine our lives with the ones who love us best\, the dreams we hold for our daughters\, and the winding paths we take to our own happy endings. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \n Esther Chehebar is a contributing writer at Tablet magazine\, where she covers Sephardic Jewish tradition and community\, and a member of Sephardic Bikur Holim\, a non-profit supporting the growing Syrian Jewish community in Brooklyn. She holds an MFA from the New School and has had her work featured in Glamour and Man Repeller. Chehebar’s first book\, I Share My Name\, was an illustrated children’s book explaining the Sephardic tradition of naming children for their grandparents. She lives in New York with her husband\, their kids\, their Ori-Pei named Jude\, and a couple of fish. This is her debut novel.

SUMMARY:BOOK CLUB MEETING
DESCRIPTION:Our next meeting will be Sunday\, December 28 at 10:00am in the comfort of your own home via Zoom! \nWe will be discussing Matti Friedman’s: Who by Fire: War\, Atonement\, and the Resurrection of Leonard Cohen\n\nJOIN ZOOM MEETING\n\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/88173160746?pwd=bdj9jqdV24uWkbMdglE5S8tBMLwbHR.1 \n\nMeeting ID: 881 7316 0746\nPassword: 1955\n\n\n\n\n\nSYNOPSIS\n\n \n\nThe incredible never-before-told story of Leonard Cohen’s 1973 tour of Israel during the Yom Kippur War.  \n“Who by Fire is a stunning resurrection of a moment in the life of Leonard Cohen and the history of Israel. It’s the story of a young artist in crisis and a young country at war\, and the powerful resonance of the chord struck between them. A beautiful\, haunting book full of feeling.” —Nicole Krauss\, author of To Be a Man \nIn October\, 1973\, the poet and singer Leonard Cohen – 39 years old\, famous\, unhappy\, and at a creative dead end – traveled to the Sinai desert and inserted himself into the chaos and bloodshed of the Yom Kippur War. Moving around the front with a guitar and a pick-up team of local musicians\, Cohen dived headlong into the midst of a global crisis and met hundreds of fighting men and women at the worst moment of their lives. His audiences heard him knowing it might be the last thing they heard\, and those who survived never forgot what they heard. \nCohen’s war tour was an electric cultural moment\, one that still echoes today\, and one that inspired some of his greatest songs – but a moment that only few knew about\, until now. In Who By Fire\, Canadian-Israeli journalist Matti Friedman gives us a riveting account of what happened during those weeks in Israel in October\, 1973. With access to amazing and never-before-seen material written by Cohen himself\, along with dozens of interviews and rare photographs\,  Friedman revives this fraught and stunning time\, presenting an intimate and unforgettable portrait of the artist\, and of the young people who heard him sing in the midst of combat. \nWho By Fire brings us close to one the greatest\, most brilliant and charismatic voices of our times\, and gives us a rare glimpse of war\, faith\, and belonging. \n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE AUTHOR\n \nMATTI FRIEDMAN is an award-winning journalist and author. His work has appeared in the New York Times\, The Free Press\, The Atlantic\, Tablet\, Smithsonian\, and elsewhere. His books have been translated into more than a dozen languages\, and have won the Natan Prize\, the Canadian Jewish Book Award\, the Sami Rohr Prize\, and the ALA’s Sophie Brody Medal.
