Sixteen years ago, a group of Temple members, led by Rabbi Kulwin, began reading together. Since then, the members of the TBA Book Group have read over 125 books together, and continue to read and discuss together with enthusiasm and enjoyment. If you like to read, and can at least occasionally be available on the first Thursday of every month join us! Current selections are generally grouped in two or three months of a particular theme, are posted on this website. Free and open to the community. Registration requested. 973-994-2290

Thursday, October 3, 2013, 7:30 PM The Innocents by Francesca Segal
Segal takes Edith Wharton’s Age of Innocence and moves it from Gentile New York of the 1870s to Jewish London of today. Adam is thrilled to be marrying the beautiful and intelligent Rachel, whom he has adored since they were both teens. Rachel’s cousin Ellie moves home from New York, however, and her effect on Adam is, well, strong. Segal’s descriptions of her home community and its inhabitants are fascinating. Extra credit for also reading Wharton’s original.
