The Book Circle will meet Wednesday, July 21, at 1 p.m., to talk about a collection of imaginary letters from Edmund de Waal to Moïses de Comondo, a Jewish financier and philanthropist from a prominent European family of art collectors. The House of Camondo in Paris, now the Musée Nissim de Camondo is filled with the country’s greatest private collection of French 18th-century art. The series of 50 letters, titled Letters to Camondo, addresses a tragic family history containing personal reflections on family history and the value of memory.
The Book Circle meets monthly (currently on Zoom) to discuss literature about Jewish topics, often by Jewish writers. For more information about the current selection or to join the group, please call the shul at 631-477-0232 and leave a message for Susan Rosenstreich, coordinator of the group.
