Thursday, November 15 , 7:00 PM – The Weight of Ink – Rachel Kadish’s The Weight of Ink (winner of National Jewish Book Award 2017) tells the story of ambitious women who, living in different centuries, both struggle to find their voice. It challenges us to think critically about the lack of women’s access to the written word that has impoverished Jewish learning, and encourages us to imagine what happens when, against the odds, Jewish women begin to write.

Future Dates: December 13.
