Re: [ha-Safran] Books dealing with diversity of the Jewish experience

Hi Amy
My synagogue did this exact type of program with My Jewish Year by Abigail 
Pogrebin and it was a perfect choice.

There is enormous diversity of Jewish experience in the book. Also, we were 
able to have holiday events connected to the book throughout the book.

Wishing you the best of luck.

-Susan

Subject: [ha-Safran] Books dealing with diversity of the Jewish experience

Collective wisdom,

Our synagogue is looking to do a "one synagogue, one book" type of event. They 
are looking at a theme of diversity of Jewish experience. Does anyone have any 
suggestions? Could be fiction or non-fiction, but preferably something light 
enough for summer reading (yes it is June already!). I am interpreting 
"diversity" broadly. Marra Gad's Color of Love and Sue Eisenfeld's Wandering 
Dixie were both suggested and seem like decent possibilities.

Thank you for any ideas.

Amy Graham
