Book Circle Discovers A House And Its People Are Not What They Seem
The Book Circle will meet on Wednesday, April 30, at 4 p.m., in the community room at the shul, where the group will talk about The Safekeep, by Yael Van Der Wouden, in whose debut novel it is learned that a house and its people are not what they seem. It is a dark tale of desire, suspicion, and obsession between two women staying in the same house in the Dutch countryside during the summer of 1961.
“Mysterious, sophisticated, sensual and infused with intrigue, The Safekeep is about facing up to the truth of history and to one’s own desires,” says The Guardian. The book was shortlisted for the 2024 Booker Prize, and won the National Jewish Book Award for debut fiction.

Tu B’Shevat Seder For Women: Communal, Educational, Spiritual
Tikkun Olam Seeks Volunteers To Help With Charitable Projects Rabbi Suzan Lipson Leads Event Focused On Fruits, Nuts And Wine
The shul’s first Tu B’Shevat Seder for Women brought together dozens of members and guests to explore the holiday focused on trees coming to life after a cold winter. The seder plate for this holiday featured fruits, nuts
and red and white wines in varying proportions to illustrate life-giving properties. The festive occasion, under the direction of Rabbi Suzan Lipson, rewarded participants with a communal, educational and spiritual experience — and a delicious chocolate cake for dessert. Chairing the Sunday afternoon, Feb. 9, event were Ann Hurwitz, the shul’s education director, and Judith K. Weiner. Photos by Debra Riva and Sara Bloom
