Jews are known for lov­ing study, con­ver­sa­tion and ques­tions, par­tic­u­larly intel­li­gent, pas­sion­ate ones. AJ’s new Jew­ish Book Group will blend books, study, con­ver­sa­tion and ques­tions to cre­ate an inter­est­ing and intel­lec­tu­ally stim­u­lat­ing expe­ri­ence for explor­ing Judaism, its his­tory, cul­ture and our rela­tion­ships with it and our lives as Jews through literature.

The group reads and dis­cusses a wide range of books from con­tem­po­rary nov­els, his­tor­i­cal fic­tion, graphic nov­els, top­i­cal antholo­gies, mem­oirs and schol­arly works. The only com­mon denom­i­na­tors are that each book will relate in some­way to Judaism and all of them are great jump­ing off points for inter­est­ing dis­cus­sions, study and debate.

Con­tin­u­ing AJ’s recent trend of inno­v­a­tive uses of tech­nol­ogy the book group will, when pos­si­ble, use video con­fer­enc­ing and other com­mu­ni­ca­tion tools to bring authors into the dis­cus­sions of their works.
