The Rabbi's Book Club
Join Rav Steven for a year-long book club exploring issues central to our Bayitâs mission: Medinat Yisrael (Jewish Nationhood and Israeli-Palestinian relationships), Am Yisrael (Jewish Identity and Values), and Kol Yoshvei Teivel (Justice and Human Rights).
In person participants have the option to join us for dinner prior to the discussion. Those who wish to share dinner at 7:30pm please call Kai Fan at 347-275-8056 on the day of the program by 5pm to place an order. Use promo code "HIR BOOK CLUB" to receive a 10% discount on your order. Kai Fan will deliver directly to the shul.
Not able to join in person? We are offering a Zoom-only session of the Book Club!
Sessions will take place if there are five or more participants. Email shuli@thebayit.org with questions or for more information.
