Copies can be purchased through book sellers on the internet. Here is a summary of the book excerpted from PaknTreger: This novel about a middle-aged bureaucrat in Haifa trying to find himself (and romance) after the death of his wife is a psychologically subtle character study articulated with a muted lyricism . . . (It) raises issues of Sephardi against Ashkenazi in Israeli culture with the culturally conditioned habits of character that pertain to both. If you would like to attend the discussion, please contact Shelly at info@congregationbethabraham.net to receive the Zoom link in your email. 
Sunday, February 28 at 4:00 pm The next Vintage Jewish Movie Group meeting is to be announced. Stay tuned for more details.
