The Hebrew Tabernacle Book Club, open to the community, meets on the second Wednesday evening of the month year-round, and is volunteer led. We read a variety of fiction and non-fiction genres, and have had local authors join us!
We welcome all for a light nosh, and guarantee lively discussion!
Come meet your neighbors, and join us to learn and exchange opinions about various Jewish issues.
Suggestions for books are appreciated. Please contact convener Susan Gellert (susan_gellert@yahoo.com).
We’re back to meeting in person at Hebrew Tabernacle!
