Hug HaSefer - Book Discussion Circle
Our Book Discussion Circle generally meets on the fourth Thursday of each month at 7:30 p.m. and focuses on Jewish content in both fiction and non-fiction. You can find specific information about the location of each month’s meeting in that month's Newsletter, the Kol HaLev calendar, and the Weekly Update. Note that the Newsletter also contains a brief summary of the book for that month.
All KHL members are welcome to attend these discussions and to recommend books for discussion. Contact Kevin Weidenbaum at KJW@oberlin.net to be added to the group’s email list.
