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 to be added to the group’s email list.
