We are the people of the Book. The Bookhers is the reading group for the UJC and our members. We are grateful to Rabbi Martha for her 17 years of leadership of The Bookhers. We intend to continue to honour her efforts by continuing and reinvigorating The Bookhers as a place to enjoy texts of Jewish interest and sharing the companionship from interesting exchanges of ideas.
As we have in the past, we will continue to alternate between fiction and non-fiction texts. Also, as in the past, we will choose two books (one fiction and one non-fiction) to read over the summer. Even if you are away or traveling during this time, you can read our selections, and we will meet on an agreed evening at the end of the summer to discuss and review the books we have chosen.
We hope you will participate in The Bookhers and also recommend us to your other friends at UJC. Please email us to be added to The Bookhers’ WhatsApp chat group. There, please provide any suggestions you have for texts to read this summer. As always, we will try to make our selections by a consensus of the group. Please get back to us as soon as possible with any suggestions, so we can all head off for our summer holidays with two good reads in hand.
Come and be part of this fun and entertaining part of the UJC and provide any suggestions right away so we can make selections soon.
Feel free to contact me if you have any comments, questions, or suggestions.
Best regards,
Garry Stein
