Prerequisite Note: Due to the virtual setting of this class, you must have computer capability, including internet access, in order to participate. A camera is also optimal but not required.

Join us in discussing Jewish-themed short stories! This month, our facilitator will be writer and teacher, Michelle Brafman. Our short story will be "Where to Hide in a Synagogue" from Karen Bender's collection, The New Order.

Please note that attendees are responsible for locating and reading the material beforehand. If you have checked out and read the story from our collection, please return the book as soon as possible so others have a chance to read it. Thank you, and we look forward to seeing you at the discussion!
