As part of its Adult Education programming, Shomrei Torah – the Wayne Conservative Congregation sponsors a Book Club (Sefer Society) that meets monthly. The next discussion on Monday, October 17 at 7:45 pm will be about Under A Cruel Star: A Life in Prague 1941-1968 by Heda Margolius Kovály. Said one critic: “This crisply written, highly readable memoir reveals the tragedy of human life, collective and individual, under totalitarian forms of government. Kovaly's insightful narrative is extraordinary: It relates from a personal perspective the suffering of a captive nation, Czechoslovakia, under not one but two forms of totalitarianism in seamless, devastating succession-- the first that of Fascist Germany, the second that of Soviet Communism.”
Sefer Society discussions are lively and stimulating and all are welcome to participate, whether you have read the book or not. There is no admission charge and the program is open to the community.
Shomrei Torah is located at 30 Hinchman Avenue in Wayne, NJ.
