OZ Book Club – The Golem and the Jinni by Helene Wecker
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.
The Golem and the Jinni by Helene Wecker
Chava is a golem, a creature made of clay, brought to life by a disgraced rabbi who dabbles in dark Kabbalistic magic, created to be the wife of a man who dies at sea on the voyage from Poland. Chava is unmoored and adrift as the ship arrives in New York harbor in 1899.
Ahmad is a jinni, a being of fire born in the ancient Syrian desert, trapped in an old copper flask, and released in New York City, though still not entirely free.
Ahmad and Chava become unlikely friends and soul mates with a mystical connection. Marvelous and compulsively readable, Helene Wecker’s debut novel The Golem and the Jinni weaves strands of Yiddish and Middle Eastern literature, historical fiction and magical fable, into a wondrously inventive and unforgettable tale.
Jewish Play Reading Series – Elie Weisel: The Trial of God
Are you interested in plays? Come together in person from 2-4:00 on a Sunday afternoon to read and discuss a Jewish play. Each play is from a different period in Jewish history. Drop in to as many sessions as you can. Never read a script before – we’ll help you!
Elie Weisel: The Trial of God takes place in 1649, in a small village in Ukraine after a pogram; Purim revelers arrive and meet the last Jewish person – the bar tender/owner. Where is God when innocent people suffer? The Purim spiel is the trial of God. (written 1979)
OZ Singing Circle
