Shomrei Book Club

The Shomrei Book Club will meet on Monday, Jan. 9, at 7:30 pm at Shomrei to discuss The Waiting Room by Leah Kaminsky. Set in Israel, the novel takes place over one day but covers life over five decades in three continents. The central character is a physician, a woman whose parents are Holocaust survivors who fled to the farthest place they could find after the war, tranquil Australia.She marries an Israeli but never feels “at home” in her adopted country, where she faces the challenges of family, career, and the threat of terrorism.

We welcome anyone with an interest in books to join us for the meeting.

Josie Zeman joined Shomrei in 2007 (not sure) shortly after moving to Montclair to find a compatible community in retirement. She volunteers to do public relations outreach for Shomrei, helps in the office, and the kitchen, organizes sessions of the monthly Book Club, takes classes with the rabbi to learn all the things about Judaism that she never knew growing up in a Reform congregation in the South. She is proud to be a member of this dynamic synagogue!
