Book Club Gathering: On To The Next! Newcomers Welcome!

We did it! We read it! Most of us even finished the book! Hooray!

This week we will be bringing in any final thoughts or questions that came from our read of “The Rabbi Who Prayed With Fire”, and having a conversation to choose our next book! If you are interested in joining the ESJ book club in the future, please attend!

This new group will be molded by the folks who show up. If you want to partake but this date or time isn’t great for you, write EastSideJews@sijcc.net to let us know.

A poll will be sent out next week for choosing our next read. RSVP below to receive it!

East Side Jews has started a book club!

Ben Poor and Shay Roman are two LA transplants who like to read and think and talk… especially about all things Jewish and Jewish Adjacent. They are always excited to dive into stories — particularly when that includes hanging out and having snacks or wine in hand. Whether you know them or not, you can be sure Shay and Ben will provide you with not only accountability for your lazy reading habits, but also quick and fun jibber jabber with a solid dose of critical thinking.  This is the biweekly dose of weeknight party-time that you didn’t know you were looking for.

You Can Expect: to meet new people, relax in casual vibes, partake in enjoyable arguments, be welcomed in queer-and-radical-friendly thinking, and become apart of a caring community space.

If book costs are prohibitive to you, please contact eastsidejews@sijcc.net for support!
