The Adult Education Committee will open its year with two Books and Bagels events and a brunch. At B&B, members bring reports on books of Jewish interest that they have read. Everyone is welcome with or without a book to participate in the wide ranging discussions and to enjoy bagels and coffee. Mark the following dates on your calendar:
- Sunday, September 28, 10 AM – Books and Bagels
- Sunday, October 12, 11 AM – Brunch: Unspinning the Spinners.
- Sunday, October 26, 10 AM – Books and Bagels: THE BIG READ, a program sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts to encourage people to read. Everyone in a community reads the same book and trained facilitators lead the discussions. We will read “The Shawl” by Cynthia Ozick, a short Holocaust novel – many copies are available at Monroe County libraries. We can also order copies from the local sponsor, Writers and Books, for $10.50 (a 25% discount) - if you would like a copy please contact Carl Wetzstein at carlw38@aol.com before August 25.

This event is part of The Big Read,
an initiative of the National Endowment for the Arts
in partnership with the Institute of Museum and Library Services and Art Midwest.
