Coming up on Thursday, Oct. 23, at 3:30, at the shul, the Book Circle will meet the Fletcher family and come to terms with a deep-seated generational trauma and how that morphed into the destructive nature of wealth, identity and personal fulfillment. The October selection is titled Long Island Compromise, by Taffy Brodesser-Akner.

The Book Circle meets monthly to explore books by Jewish writers exploring Jewish topics. For more information about the group, email ctigreenport@gmail.com with a message for Susan Rosenstreich, coordinator of the group.
