The selection for February is the 2001 Pulitzer Prize Winner The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay by Michael Chabon.
The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay is a Pulitzer Prize-winning 2000 novel about two Jewish cousins, Joe Kavalier and Sammy Clay, who create comic books in New York City during the Golden Age of comics, set against the backdrop of World War II and the Holocaust.
The story follows their creative partnership as they develop characters like The Escapist, blending their personal lives, dreams, and fears with their superhero creations, spanning from Brooklyn to Prague and the Arctic.
“The depth of Chabon’s thought, his sharp language, his inventiveness and his ambition make this a novel of towering achievement.” (NYT)

Knight Ridder reporters Jonathan Landay and Warren Strobel along with Editor-in-Chief John Walcot, played by Rob Reiner, and the legendary war correspondent Joe Galloway investigate the U.S. government’s claims of Iraq stockpiling weapons of mass destruction following the 9/11 attacks.
While most news agencies accept the Bush Administration‘s rationale for military action against Saddam Hussein, the Knight Ridder team uncovers mounting evidence suggesting the administration’s motives may be deceptive and that such weapons do not exist. The story follows the reporters’ pursuit of the truth highlighting their efforts to challenge the prevailing narrative.
“Shock and Awe” feels more timely now than it might have a been a month ago.
The location for this event will be sent via email. Potluck dinner will be served.

The selection for April is The Magic Barrel, short stories by Bernard Malamud.

Bernard Malamud’s first book of short stories, The Magic Barrel, has been recognized as a classic from the time it was published in 1959, when it won the National Book Award. The 13 stories have a wide range, but what is most memorable about them is their depth. They are funny and tragic and true to humanity. They are set in New York and Italy. It is a book about the immigrant experience and tells the stories of shoemakers, matchmakers, and rabbis, in a voice that blends Yiddish folklore with artistic magic. And the magic endures.

The book for this session is Heart of a Stranger by Angela Buchdahl.
Part memoir, part sermon collection, Heart of a Stranger tells the story of Rabbi/ Cantor Angela Buchdahl. The daughter of a Korean Buddhist mother and an American Jewish father, Buchdahl traces the many twists and turns she took to find her way to becoming the Senior Rabbi of Central Synagogue, one of the most prominent and innovative Jewish communities in the United States.
Heart of a Stranger is a moving portrayal of a storied rabbinic journey. The title is indeed apt. It speaks not only to how Buchdahl carries her dual identities, making her more sensitive to those who might feel like outsiders, but also to how the book lets us into her heart. Heart of a Stranger shows us the values, struggles, yearnings, and Torah that guide one of Judaism’s most powerful teachers.
Rabbi Buchdahl discusses her bestselling memoir “Heart of A Stranger” and her journey to becoming the first woman to be the senior rabbi of Central Synagogue. With Abigail Pogrebin. In the Spotlight: Angela Buchdahl

Guns & Moses, available on Amazon Prime, is a 2025 movie about a gentle Hasidic rabbi in the Mojave Desert who reluctantly becomes a detective and gunfighter. When his synagogue is violently attacked, he takes matters into his own hands to protect his congregation.
The film’s core inspiration came from the 2019 shooting at the Chabad-run synagogue in Poway, California. Director Salvador Litvak was highly moved by the resilience of the synagogue’s rabbi, Yisroel Goldstein, who responded to the tragedy by advocating for acts of goodness and community.
While the exact characters and murder mystery in the film are fictional, it is a direct reflection of real-world antisemitism and the proactive, grassroots security measures the Jewish community had to adopt in response.
We will be hosted by a member of our synagogue. Potluck dinner will be served. More details to come via email.
