Led by BJ members Jennifer Sylvor and Carole Balin, the long-running Israeli Authors Discussion Group is expanding its reading selection to include authors from across the globe. For this year, we will read important books of Jewish interest by authors from global Jewish literatures, in addition to Israel.
We look forward to welcoming new readers along with our beloved regulars for rich and thought-provoking discussion.
We meet on the third Thursday of the month, 7:00-8:30 PM, with the exception of this month, when we will meet from 5:00-6:30 PM.
In this session, we’ll discuss A Play for the End of the World by Jai Chakrabarti, a dazzling novel set in early 1970’s New York and rural India that tells the story of a turbulent, unlikely romance, a harrowing account of the lasting horrors of World War II, and a searing examination of one man’s search for forgiveness and acceptance.
