More about the Club:

Our respectful dialogues aim to learn and understand diverse perspectives. Each meeting is a lively conversation digging deep into themes of books we explore. We firmly maintain our space as apolitical, ensuring everyone feels welcome and comfortable, irrespective of their political affiliations. 
Meetings occur monthly at Women and Children's First, fostering a sense of community through shared appreciation of Queer Jewish narratives in literature. Whether a bibliophile, a curious mind, or someone seeking connection, join us in the Jewish Feminist Book Club. Together, we'll discover new literary landscapes and, in the process, understand more about ourselves and each other. Welcome to this unique literary journey!

On Being a Jewish Feminist - Susannah Heschel: Author says of her books, "In gathering the essays that eventually became On Being a Jewish Feminist, I sought self-consciously feminist interpretations that would address topics only rarely, if ever, discussed in print in those days – such as wife abuse in the Jewish community, Jewish lesbian identities, the gendered language for God in our liturgies, and theologies.”
