WOMEN'S BOOK CLUB
Join us once or often as we discuss books with Jewish themes. We read all genres, and include beloved classics as well as recently published titles. Each book is chosen by the member who volunteers to lead an upcoming discussion, and we remain committed to selecting works available in libraries as well as in multiple formats.
We meet on Zoom from 10:30 am - 12:00 pm. We generally gather on the first Wednesday every two months and invite all Kol Emeth women to join us. If you have any questions, please contact Flaurie.
Upcoming Meeting:
While we generally meet on the first Wednesday of the month, we decided to avoid meeting on New Year's Day. So, we will meet on Zoom on January 8, 2025, at 10:30 am.
Dinners With Ruth: A Memoir on the Power of Friendships by Nina Totenberg
Please register here to receive the Zoom link, and so we know whom to reach in case of updates or changes.
Book Description from the publisher, Simon & Schuster:
Celebrated NPR correspondent Nina Totenberg delivers an extraordinary memoir of her personal successes, struggles, and life-affirming relationships, including her beautiful friendship of nearly fifty years with Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Four years before Nina Totenberg was hired at NPR, where she cemented her legacy as a prizewinning reporter, and nearly twenty-two years before Ruth Bader Ginsburg was appointed to the Supreme Court, Nina called Ruth. A reporter for The National Observer, Nina was curious about Ruth’s legal brief, asking the Supreme Court to do something revolutionary: declare a law that discriminated “on the basis of sex” to be unconstitutional. In a time when women were fired for becoming pregnant, often could not apply for credit cards or get a mortgage in their own names, Ruth patiently explained her argument. That call launched a remarkable, nearly fifty-year friendship.
