Book Discussion Group

Our monthly Book Discussion Group reads books primarily with a strong Jewish connection. You need not be a member to attend the group.

Bagel Chat 

Our Bagel Chats are usually held one Sunday per month and include a roundtable of discussion on various Jewish topics and occasionally include a guest speaker. We invite you to join us for bagels, schmear, coffee, and good conversation.

Do you have an idea for a bagel chat topic or guest speaker? Contact our Bagel Chat chairperson, Naomi Angier and let her know.
