Book Discussion Group

Our book discussion group has been meeting for over 15 years in members' homes for lively discussion of Jewish fiction and non-fiction.  Meetings are scheduled roughly once every six weeks. 

We welcome new members and visitors.  Reading the book isn't required, but it definitely helps.  Be prepared for schmoozing, a light meal, and spirited conversation.

Everyone gets a chance to suggest a title to read, as long as some one has read it and can recommend it.
