Member Charlie Rubin has started a new book club within our community. Over the next year we will be reading and discussing Jewish related books that touch on relevant themes be it through authorship, Jewish life, history and connections to Israel.

Our second book is: The World of Yesterday: Memoirs of a European by Stefan Zweig. 

We look forward to seeing everyone again after our successful first session back in September. 

Stefan Zweig’s seminal memoir recalls the golden age of pre-war Europe – its seeming permanence, its promise and its devastating fall. Through the story of his life and his relationships with the leading literary figures of the day, Zweig’s fervent, evocative prose paints a stunning portrait of an era that danced brilliantly on the brink of extinction.
