Fern Bernstein, author of Mah Jongg Monday, joined the shul’s Book Circle group on Wednesday, August 28, in the community room, for an insightful discussion about her debut memoir of faith, friendship and love around the Mah Jongg table, and how the weekly sessions with five friends helped to sustain her as she coped with personal challenges.
