The August meeting of the Book Circle will take place on Wednesday, the 19th, at noon, on Zoom. The novel selected, Family Papers: A Sephardic Journey Through the 20th Century, by Sarah Abrevaya Stein, documents a family’s history through the letters that kept them connected.

The work was named one of the best books of 2019 by The Economist, a New York Times Book Review editors’ choice, and a National Jewish Book Award finalist. The prizewinning Sephardic historian Sarah Abrevaya Stein uses the family’s correspondence to tell the story of their journey across the arc of a century and the breadth of the globe. They wrote because they were family, held together by the papers.

The Book Circle meets each month to explore books on Jewish themes and Jewish writers. For more information, call the shul at 631-477-0232 and leave a message for Susan Rosenstreich, coordinator of the group.
