For the book club on October 29, we will be talking about Dara Horn's "People Love Dead Jews". (Buy here)

In this book of essays, the acclaimed novelist writes about such diverse topics as the Jews of Harbin, Daf Yomi, and lost synagogues in the Middle East. Ms. Horn discusses how there is fascination with Jews who have died and much less fascination with living Jews. It is a wide-ranging and compelling discussion of anti-semitism and how we address this.

Come chat about the book

We are all grieving and trying to process the recent attacks and events that are taking place in Israel. Many of us are wondering how we can support Israel, families or others who have been impacted by these attacks. Our friends at The J. Weekly, have compiled a list of organizations that are supporting assistance in various ways. If you want to get involved, please check the link below.
