The Beth Tzedec Book Club DESCRIPTION:Join us each month at Masala Art for lively conversation\, good company\, and great food as we explore Jewish literature together. The Beth Tzedec Book Club is open to all who love reading and discussing stories\, history\, and ideas through a Jewish lens. \nIn March\, we’ll be reading The Madwoman in the Rabbi’s Attic: Rereading the Women of the Talmud by Gila Fine. \nWhile women in the Talmud are often marginal and unnamed\, Fine focuses on six named heroines—Yalta\, Homa\, Marta\, Heruta\, Beruria\, and Ima Shalom—who seem to embody familiar antifeminist archetypes. Through close\, literary rereading\, she reveals far more complex characters and uncovers surprisingly nuanced rabbinic perspectives on marriage\, intimacy\, and women’s lives. In the process\, Fine challenges us to rethink not only these ancient stories\, but also how we read texts—and how we see one another. \n\n\n \n \n Book Club Registration\n Please register once for each session you plan to join. \n \n Name(Required)\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email(Required)\n \n Phone(Required)There is NO CHARGE to join Beth Tzedec's Book Club.

The Beth Tzedec Book Club is open to all who love reading and discussing stories\, history\, and ideas through a Jewish lens. \nIn February\, we’ll be reading Melting Point by Rachel Cockerell. This non-fiction narrative uncovers the little-known story of the Galveston Plan\, a bold early-20th-century effort that brought thousands of Russian Jews to the Texas Gulf Coast in search of safety and a new beginning. Through diaries\, letters\, and other firsthand accounts\, Rachel Cockerell reconstructs this remarkable migration—led in part by her own great-grandfather—and follows the families whose lives intertwined with major figures of the era. \nInventive and deeply human\, the book explores questions of belonging\, identity\, and what it truly means to seek a promised land. \n\n \n \n Book Club Registration\n Please register once for each session you plan to join. \n \n Name(Required)\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email(Required)\n \n Phone(Required)There is NO CHARGE to join Beth Tzedec's Book Club.

But when Molly’s girlfriend\, Anat\, disappears and New York’s hidden supernatural world erupts\, Clara is forced to team up with Boaz\, their mysteriously curse-ridden (and annoyingly charming) theater coworker.

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.
