SUMMARY:Circle Book Group
DESCRIPTION:This is an open group that welcomes all readers interested in expanding their understanding of the wide variety of Jewish experiences throughout history and across the world. The Zoom information for this meeting will be shared closer to the event via email. To make sure you’re on the Book Group email list\, contact the Circle Book Group committee co-chairs at bookgroup@circleboston.org Click here to learn more\, see our current book of the month\, and view books we’ve read in the past. To make a donation for the Book Group\, visit this page. \nThis month we are reading East West Street by Philippe Sands.  \nAbout the book:A profound\, important book\, a moving personal detective story and an uncovering of secret pasts\, set in Europe’s center\, the city of bright colors—Lviv\, Ukraine\, dividing east from west\, north from south\, in what had been the Austro-Hungarian Empire. \nA book that explores the development of the world-changing legal concepts of “genocide” and “crimes against humanity” that came about as a result of the unprecedented atrocities of Hitler’s Third Reich. \nIt is also a spellbinding family memoir\, as the author traces the mysterious story of his grandfather as he maneuvered through Europe in the face of Nazi atrocities. This is “a monumental achievement …  told with love\, anger and precision” (John le Carré\, acclaimed internationally bestselling author). \nEast West Street looks at the personal and intellectual evolution of the two men who simultaneously originated the ideas of “genocide” and “crimes against humanity\,” both of whom\, not knowing the other\, studied at the same university with the same professors\, in “the Paris of Ukraine\,” a major cultural center of Europe\, a city variously called Lemberg\, Lwów\, Lvov\, or Lviv.

SUMMARY:Neighborhood Tashlikh
DESCRIPTION:Everyone welcome\, children & families\, especially! \nTASHLIKH — (You shall cast away) is based on biblical passages – most notably from Micah (7:9) “You will hurl all of our sins into the depths of the sea”. The traditional word for “sin” is “khet”.  A more modern translation goes back to the original meaning of “khet” from archery — “to miss the mark”. \nWe throw pebbles into the water to represent our “sins” and those burdens\, regrets\, disappointments\, old thinking\, missed opportunities\, excuses\, or rationalizations that interfere with our living full lives. At the same time\, we embrace hope to do better and set our intentions on hitting our marks in the coming year. \nWhat to throw? We suggest bringing pebbles to throw because bread\, even challah\, is not good for the ducks and geese. \nDetails will be shared closer to the holiday! \nRegister Here.

SUMMARY:Book Talk with Linda Dittmar
DESCRIPTION:BWC is excited to co-present a book event with IfNotNow\, Jewish Voice for Peace\, and the Alliance for Water Justice in Palestine. Please join us in person or on zoom and invite your friends to hear and engage with Linda Dittmar as she shares her powerful story of the early years of Israel’s statehood and the Palestinian Nakba. \nIsraeli-American writer and academic Linda Dittmar is the author of Tracing Homelands; Israel\, Palestine\, and the Claims of Belonging. Part history\, part travelogue\, and part memoir\, it is a braided account of Israel’s early years of statehood and the Palestinian Nakba—the “catastrophe” of mass expulsion—remembered as an Israeli child growing into young adulthood and as an adult\, now living in the U.S.\, who comes to see that history with new eyes. A recipient of an Artist Fellowship from the Massachusetts Cultural Council\, Linda’s writings have appeared in The Massachusetts Review\, Jewish Currents\, Harvard’s Divinity School’s Bulletin\, Consequence\, and Nowhere magazine. \nMasks and rapid tests are recommended for in person attendance\, and registration is required whether attendance is in person or via Zoom.Register Here.
