Dear CJC Members & Friends,
We are currently witnessing seismic changes in the U.S. and Israel, and there are more significant changes coming in the next few months. Can we help to guide the changes that are underway so that things go well and we don’t, instead, go careening toward an apocalypse? I believe so.

Book Club

At our next meeting, on Wednesday, December 9, at 7pm, CJC Book Club will discuss This Is Not About Us, by Allegra Goodman.

Coastside Jewish Community Book Club meets approximately once every two months at members’ homes. We read all kinds of books that are in some way related to Judaism, and generally ensure our books are available through a library. We usually get together in person, and make online access available if anyone tells us they need it. Quite importantly, we get together to enjoy each others’ company.
