Machar’s Book Club meets to discuss books that relate to Judaism, humanism, and/or social or humanitarian concerns in the same vein as our Adult Ed topics.  The Book Club is open to all members of Machar, and guests are welcome, too.  Contact Tricia Schnell at triciaschnell@gmail.com for more information.  We took a break in 2020, but check out what we read in 2019:
