DESCRIPTION:The Beth Tzedec Book Club – Revamped and Ready to Read!\nOur book club is back with a fresh new format\, led by Rabbi Russ! Join us for engaging discussions over delicious food at Masala Art as we explore thought-provoking books together. \nOn Wednesday\, May 28\, we will meet to discuss The Hebrew Teacher by Maya Arad\, a National Jewish Book Award Winner in 2024. \nThree Israeli women\, their lives altered by immigration to the United States\, seek to overcome crises. Ilana is a veteran Hebrew instructor at a Midwestern college who has built her life around her career. When a young Hebrew literature professor joins the faculty\, she finds his post-Zionist politics pose a threat to her life’s work. Miriam\, whose son left Israel to make his fortune in Silicon Valley\, pays an unwanted visit to meet her new grandson and discovers cracks in the family’s perfect façade. Efrat\, another Israeli in California\, is determined to help her daughter navigate the challenges of middle school\, and crosses forbidden lines when she follows her into the minefield of social media. In these three stirring novellas—comedies of manners with an ambitious blend of irony and sensitivity—celebrated Israeli author Maya Arad probes the demise of idealism and the generation gap that her heroines must confront. \nCome for the books\, stay for the conversation—and the great company! New and returning members are always welcome. Kindly register in advance so we know how many seats we’ll need.
