The Jewish Book Club is a great way for book lovers to enjoy getting to know each other through lively discussion about great books with Jewish and literary value. Selections are mostly fiction, occasional biography/memoir or historical non-fiction.
For now, the book club will continue meeting on Zoom at 12:00pm on the second Tuesday of each month.

If you would like to take part, please email IHC librarian Evelyn Pockrass to receive the Zoom link.

The Matzah Ball, by Jean Meltzer.
More “fluff” than we usually read, Meltzer’s comical romance story also addresses certain deeper issues: chronic medical conditions, the effects of parents’ divorce on children, the pressures of being a child of famous parents, and religious conflicts.
