Temple B'nai Abraham Book Group with Rabbi Kulwin

If you like to read, and can at least occasionally be available on the first Thursday of every month join us for the Temple B’nai Abraham Book Group led by Rabbi Kulwin! Current selections are generally grouped in two or three months of a particular theme, are posted on the temple’s website, http://www.tbanj.org/congregational-learning/book-group#current. Books are almost always available easy from area libraries, or online, or at local bookstores. And when they are not, the Temple will secure several copies of the book for us to share.
The third session on Thursday, November 5 , 7:30 PM, the group will explore Iphigenia in Forest Hills: Anatomy of a Murder Trial by Janet Malcom. Set in the Bukharan-Jewish community of Queens, New Yorker writer Malcom follows the trial of physician Mazeltuv Borukhova, accused of the murder (by hire) of her husband. Malcom’s examination reveals insights into this insular Jewish community as well as some of the more distressing aspects of the justice system’s treatment of children. The title’s reference to Greek mythology is, tragically, well-deserved.

The book group is free and open to the community. RSVP 973-994-2290 or register online at www.tbanj.org.
