Dara Horn’s latest book is a collection of essays about, yes, about dead Jews and “how Jewish history is exploited to appease the living.” The New York Times says, “In a series of striking essays, Horn explores how the ways we commemorate antisemitism and Jewish tragedy distract from the very concrete, specific death of Jews. She wants a more direct reckoning with Jew hatred and its consequences.” Pick up a copy of the book, read what you can, & join Rabbi Greene in conversation.

We will read and discuss contemporary Jewish short stories for the first few sessions, and then continue with a Saul Bellow novel (that we'll choose together) for the following weeks. Copies of the stories will be emailed before each session and read aloud that night. Novel will be selected in advance so that you can acquire it with time to read.
