Book of Every Other Month
Sunday, January 15, 2012—10AM

The MJC Library continues its sponsorship of the Book-0f-Every-Other-Month Series. On January 15 Betty Ann Ross will lead a discussion of The Finkler Question by Howard Jacobson, winner of Great Britain's prestigious Man Booker Prize. The characters include some Jews and some non-Jews. All have anxiety, mostly about Judaism.

There are Jews who protest against Israel and Gentiles who love everything about Judaism. The book has engendered some degree of controversy. Come join us and share your opinion. Join us for a bagel breakfast and a discussion of this entertaining and engaging book! You do not have to have read the book to participate.
