The Shomrei Book Club will meet on Monday, Nov. 10 at 7:30 p.m. to discuss Snow in August by Pete Hamill.
Jerilyn Margulies will lead the discussion of this intriguing tale of a friendship between a young Irish Catholic boy and an Orthodox rabbi who needs his help on Shabbat. Weaving together history and tradition, Hamill paints a realistic portrait of faith, loyalty and affection in post-World War II Brooklyn.
As an added bonus, the Book Club will gather to exchange ideas about favorite books at the Shomrei Book Fair to be held at Watchung Books on Sunday, Nov. 23 at 1 p.m. Please join us—come to talk, browse, and buy books to support this important project that benefits the JLC!
