Tuesday Morning Book Club

Join us each month for a lively discussion of Jewish-themed books. The Book Club at Temple Concord meets monthly; unless otherwise noted, we are meeting on the 1st Tuesday of the month at 10:30 AM.

Book Club meetings are free and open to the public. The community is welcome to attend either in person or remotely, via Zoom.
