Book Club

Great discussions, friendly company, and tasty food—can you think of a better way to spend a Saturday afternoon? Throughout the year, we gather together at members' homes, coffee shops, restaurants, and book stores to discuss books which are selected by club members. Whether fiction or non-fiction, the themes directly relate to the Jewish experience.

The Book Club is open to Or Adam members. Please refer to Upcoming Events and the calendar for meeting dates, times, and contacts. Also, let us know if you have a recommendation for next year's reading list!
