The shul’s Book Circle group has chosen a novel focused on Palestine and the competing lives of sisters brought together after many years. Can they relate to each other, to the Palestine both knew as children, and to what is before them as they navigate the history, culture and politics of their homeland?

The Books Circle meets monthly to explore works by Jewish writers and the topics meaningful to Jewish readers.

The current selection, “Enter Ghost” by Isabella Hammad, will be discussed at the upcoming meeting of the group, to be held on Thursday, Sept. 21, at 3:30 p.m., in the community room at the shul. For more information, email ctigreenport@gmail.com with a message for Suzy Rosenstreich, coordinator of the group.
