Book Club

Meeting regularly since 2018, the Adat Shalom Book Club gathers to discuss books of interest within the Jewish community. Books chosen may focus on Jewish themes, history, culture, or identity, and many of the authors selected are well-known for their Jewish heritage and for the explorations of the Jewish experience found in their works.

More than just a chance to discuss compelling books, the Adat Shalom Book Club is also an opportunity to connect with friends within the Adat Shalom community and to make new ones. We look forward to seeing you at the next meeting of the Adat Shalom Book Club!
