Description

The Israeli Book Club is more than just your typical reading group—it is an intimate encounter with Israeli culture, society, and politics. Join us for a good read and nuanced conversation that will help you gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of contemporary Israeli issues.

This year we will be focusing on books that highlight the Israeli “other,” among them Mizrahi Jews, new immigrants, Israeli Arabs, the LGBTQ community.

All meetings take place on Sundays and will be hosted by BJ members and facilitated by BJ's shaliah, Moshe Samuels.

Meeting Dates/Book Selections:

  • August 5 - Pumpkinflowers / Matti Friedman

  • October 14 - Our Holocaust / Amir Gutfreund

  • December 2 - Second Person, Singular / Sayed Kashua

  • January 13 - A Trumpet in the Wadi / Sami Michael

  • March 12 - One Night, Markovich / Ayelet Gundar Goshen

  • April 14 - Spies of No Country: Secret Lives at the Birth of Israel / Matti Friedman

  • June 9 – Moving On From Bliss / Hila Amit (PDF Will Be Distributed)


Buy these books from BJ's page on Amazon and a small portion of the proceeds will be donated back to us at no additional cost to you.
