Virtual Book Club Circle

We read and discuss books that have a Jewish theme and/or a Jewish author. We meet online to welcome all ikar from Afar members. Sometimes we bring in authors to discuss their books with us. It’s a nice, supportive group for people of all ages. We meet monthly on a Monday night, typically from 6:30-7:30 pm pst.
