3GNY Jewish Joy Book Club

7:00pm ET
Marlene Meyerson JCC 

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!
