SUMMARY:OZ Book Club - Goyhood by Reuven Fenton
DESCRIPTION:The OZ Monthly Book Club meets monthly and welcomes adult readers. Book selections are determined by the group\, with topics that are related to Jewish themes and concepts. Join these casual discussions about the book. \n \nGoyhood by Reuven Fenton \nFunny\, poignant\, and revelatory while plumbing the emotional depths of the relationship between estranged brothers\, Goyhood examines what happens when one becomes unmoored from a comfortable\, spiritual existence and must decide whether coincidence is in fact destiny. \nWhen Mayer (née Marty) Belkin fled small town Georgia for Brooklyn nearly thirty years ago\, he thought he’d left his wasted youth behind. Now he’s a Talmud scholar married into one of the greatest rabbinical families in the world – a dirt poor country boy reinvented in the image of God. \nBut his mother’s untimely death brings a shocking Mayer and his ne’er-do-well twin brother David aren’t\, in fact\, Jewish. Traumatized and spiritually bereft\, Mayer’s only recourse is to convert to Judaism. But the earliest date he can get is a week from now. What are two estranged brothers to do in the interim? \nSo begins the Belkins’ Rumspringa through America’s Deep South with Mom’s ashes in tow\, plus two an insightful Instagram influencer named Charlayne Valentine and Popeye\, a one-eyed dog. As the crew gets tangled up in a series of increasingly surreal adventures\, Mayer grapples with a God who betrayed him and an emotionally withdrawn wife in Brooklyn who has yet to learn her husband is a counterfeit Jew.

SUMMARY:OZ Book Club - Heart of a Stranger by Angela Buchdahl
DESCRIPTION:The OZ Monthly Book Club meets monthly and welcomes adult readers. Book selections are determined by the group\, with topics that are related to Jewish themes and concepts. Join these casual discussions about the book. \n \nHeart of a Stranger by Angela Buchdahl \nAngela Buchdahl was born in Seoul\, the daughter of a Korean Buddhist mother and Jewish American father. Profoundly spiritual from a young age\, by sixteen she felt the first stirrings to become a rabbi. Despite the naysayers and periods of self-doubt—Would a mixed-race woman ever be seen as authentically Jewish or chosen to lead a congregation?—she stayed the course\, which took her first to Yale\, then to rabbinical school\, and finally to the pulpit of one of the largest\, most influential congregations in the world.

SUMMARY:OZ Book Club - Tablets Shattered: The End of an American Jewish Century and the Future of Jewish Life by Joshua Leifer
DESCRIPTION:The OZ Monthly Book Club meets monthly and welcomes adult readers. Book selections are determined by the group\, with topics that are related to Jewish themes and concepts. Join these casual discussions about the book. \n \nTablets Shattered: The End of an American Jewish Century and the Future of Jewish Life by Joshua Leifer \nFrom esteemed journalist Joshua Leifer\, a definitive look at the history and future of American Jewish identity and community from the tipping point we are living in. \nTablets Shattered is Joshua Leifer’s lively and personal history of the fractured American Jewish present. Formed in the middle decades of the twentieth century\, the settled-upon pillars of American Jewish self-definition (Americanism\, Zionism\, and liberalism) have begun to collapse. The binding trauma of Holocaust memory grows ever-more attenuated; soon there will be no living survivors. After two millennia of Jewish life defined by diasporic existence\, the majority of the world’s Jews will live in a sovereign Jewish state by 2050. Against the backdrop of national political crises\, resurgent global antisemitism\, and the horrors of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza\, Leifer provides an illuminating and meticulously reported map of contemporary Jewish life and a sober conjecture about its future. \nLeifer begins with the history of Jewish immigrants in America\, starting with the arrival of his great-grandmother Bessie from a shtetl in Belarus and following each subsequent generation as it conformed to the prevailing codes of American Jewish life. He then reports on the state of today’s burning Jewish issues. We meet millennial Jewish racial justice organizers\, Orthodox political activists\, young liberal rabbis looking to “queer” the Torah through exegesis\, Haredi men learning full-time at the world’s largest yeshiva\, progressive anti-Zionists attempting to separate Judaism from nationalism\, and right-wing Israeli public intellectuals beginning to imagine a future without American Jews. \nAs it traverses today’s Jewish landscape through uncommon personal familiarity with the widest range of Jewish experience\, Tablets Shattered also charts the universal quest to build enduring communities amid historical and political rupture.

SUMMARY:OZ Book Club - The Mad­woman in the Rabbi’s Attic: Reread­ing the Women of the Talmud by Gila Fine
DESCRIPTION:The OZ Monthly Book Club meets monthly and welcomes adult readers. Book selections are determined by the group\, with topics that are related to Jewish themes and concepts. Join these casual discussions about the book. \n \nThe Mad­woman in the Rabbi’s Attic: Reread­ing the Women of the Talmud by Gila Fine \nWomen in the Talmud are generally marginal and almost always anonymous – the daughters\, sisters\, and wives of prominent rabbis. The Madwoman in the Rabbi’s Attic explores the stories of the exceptions\, the six named heroines of the Talmud: Yalta the shrew\, Homa the femme fatale\, Marta the prima donna\, Heruta the madonna/whore\, Beruria the overreacherix\, and Ima Shalom the angel in the house. As their epithets suggest\, every one of these women appears to embody an antifeminist archetype. Yet in each case\, a careful rereading reveals that there is a lot more to the story than initially meets the eye; that the heroine is far more complex than she first seems; and that the rabbis had rather surprising – so as not to say proto-feminist – views of marriage\, sex\, childbirth\, and what it means to be a woman in the world. In presenting us with archetypes that systematically break down\, the Talmud imparts profound moral teachings about how to read the characters of a text and\, ultimately\, how to regard the people in our lives.

SUMMARY:OZ Book Club - From Sun to Sun by Ken­neth Wishnia
DESCRIPTION:The OZ Monthly Book Club meets monthly and welcomes adult readers. Book selections are determined by the group\, with topics that are related to Jewish themes and concepts. Join these casual discussions about the book. \n \nFrom Sun to Sun by Ken­neth Wishnia \nFrom Sun to Sun presents two par­al­lel sto­ries sep­a­rat­ed by 25 cen­turies. The first is set in mod­ern New York City\, fea­tur­ing a hard-work­ing smart-mouthed Lati­na inves­ti­ga­tor\, Felic­i­ty Orte­ga Pérez\, as she hunts for a miss­ing per­son who holds the clue to an ancient mys­tery. \nThe ancient sto­ry is a rad­i­cal revi­sion of the bib­li­cal Book of Ruth. When her hus­band dies under strange cir­cum­stances\, Ruth must join the exiles return­ing to Jerusalem to rebuild the Tem­ple in order to secure a future for her­self and her griev­ing moth­er-in-law\, Nao­mi. Unfor­tu­nate­ly\, the return­ing exiles include reli­gious lead­ers who plan to “puri­fy” the land by expelling all the for­eign women.

SUMMARY:OZ Book Club - Jewish Noir II by Ken­neth Wishnia
DESCRIPTION:The OZ Monthly Book Club meets monthly and welcomes adult readers. Book selections are determined by the group\, with topics that are related to Jewish themes and concepts. Join these casual discussions about the book. \n \nJewish Noir II by Ken­neth Wishnia \nJewish Noir II is unique collection of twenty-three all-new stories (and one reprint) by Jewish and non-Jewish literary and genre writers\, including numerous award-winning authors such as Gabriela Alemán\, Doug Allyn\, Rita Lakin\, Rabbi Ilene Schneider\, E.J. Wagner\, and Kenneth Wishnia\, with a foreword by MWA Grand Master Lawrence Block. The stories explore such issues as the perpetual challenge of confronting resurgent anti-Semitism in the US\, the enduring legacy of regional warfare in the land of Israel since biblical times\, how the “entitled” behavior of certain ultra-Orthodox communities can fuel anti-Semitic attitudes\, Jewish support of the civil rights movement\, greedy Jewish businessmen who reinforce negative ethnic stereotypes\, the excesses of “golden ghetto” American Jews\, the appeal of “tough” Israeli-Jewish soldiers and mercenaries\, how real estate fortunes are made\, and the consequences of political corruption that feed into an exploitive system\, how obsession can lead “good” people to do “bad” things. The stories in this collection include many “teachable moments” about the history of prejudice\, and the contradictions of ethnic identity and assimilation into American society.
