Join Rav Steven for a year-long book club once a month on a Tuesday evening between 8:00pm-9:00pm, exploring issues central to our Bayit’s mission: Medinat Yisrael (Jewish Nationhood and Israeli-Palestinian relationships), Am Yisrael (Jewish Identity & Antisemitism), and Kol Yoshvei Teivel (Justice and Human Rights).

Participants have the option to join us for dinner prior to the discussion.
