What are you reading now? How is it?! If you love to be asked these questions, this club is for you! Join us for a monthly community book club and discussion circle where we dive into our shared histories and experiences* and explore the overarching theme of Jewish Joy. As descendants of survivors, our experiences are more than our traumas; join us each month as we read different books that explore Jewish love, joy, resistance, and also survival. This book club will take place in person at the Marlene Meyerson JCC on the Upper West Side. Space is extremely limited so sign up today!

How do I tell my story? If you're hoping to foster your own creative practice, then our newly revamped writers' group is for you! Join us for a monthly virtual meetup of fellow 3Gs, 4Gs, and friends, where we will explore our shared Jewish histories and experiences* through different writing prompts to create living artifacts of our families' histories. Participants are encouraged to share and discuss their work as we delve into the creative process together. The 3G Writers Group is proud to present a safe, supportive, and confidential space to recharge and imagine together. The 3G Writers' Group will meet at 7pm EST on Zoom, beginning on October 22nd and every third Wednesday of the month thereafter. Facilitators will provide monthly writing prompts throughout the program, as well as additional support for anyone looking for feedback. Drop-ins welcome!
