The Kavana Book Club is entering its 10th year of discussing provocative Jewish fiction and non-fiction. This year we continue our exploration of some of the hottest and coolest contemporary Jewish writers. Join us every other month on Sunday mornings for our discussion.
Our next book is a novel by bestselling Israeli writer, Eshkol Nevo. "Three Floors Up" tells a story about each family living on 3 floors of a Tel Aviv apartment building.
All are invited to join us for this discussion. Participants take turns hosting these gatherings, so please be sure to RSVP in order to receive location details.
