Books discussion series
In case you missed Susanne Batzdorff’s announcement in the Shofar.
Once again we invite you to participate in a book discussion series that has attracted many folks who love books that stretch your mind and challenge your imagination and to discuss them with like-minded people. We meet at Congregation Beth Ami on the first Wednesday of each month at 10 a.m. beginning in November. Here is our schedule. However, the order in which these titles will be read may change.

We will receive the 4 titles with the note (from JSF) on loan from the Jewish Library of S.F.
The remaining 5 can be purchased at a 25% discount. Please return the form from page 12 of the Shofar to register for the coming season by no later than October 1 and indicate the titles you wish to purchase. Please include payment of $ 13.00 per title you wish to purchase.
