Hi everyone,
Our last book club meeting was about the book “The Little Liar” by Mitch Albom. We discussed how lies affected the lives of the four main characters, and how each of them dealt with the aftermath over the decades. We discussed the similarities of incidents in the book to events today, for example the rise of antisemitism.
Our next book is “Not From Here “ by Leah Lax. Leah has had a dual career as an author and a librettist. When she was asked to write an opera with composer Christopher Theofanidis to celebrate local immigrants, she sought out people willing to tell her about their journeys to America. The book is a collection of stories told by people of different nationalities, laced with the author’s profound and poignant musings.
Our next meeting will be on Sunday, January 19th at 12:30 in the TBT library.
Feel free to bring lunch or a snack.
Quote: In a time about polarization about immigration “Not From Here” makes space for a much needed deep breath.”

The Temple Beth Tikvah Sisterhood is a vital part of the TBT community, providing for many of the temple’s needs. Each year annual dues are collected prior to the beginning of the Jewish new year at Rosh Hashanah. Annual Sisterhood dues are only $30.00 for members of TBT and $36.00 for non-members. These dues allow the Sisterhood to keep our temple kitchen stocked; provide paper goods, coffee and drinks for our Oneg Shabbats and other Holy Day celebrations, like our Rosh Hashanah Apples & Honey Oneg, Yom Kippur Break Fast and our Hanukkah Menorah Lighting Service. It also goes to purchase all of the ritual foods for our Passover Seder; put on the Annual Chicken Soup Cook-Off; purchase gifts for our B’nai Mitzvah kids; supplement other Sisterhood events and help our temple in so many ways.
